Use Side Imaging to find Pre Spawn Crappie | Crappie fishing Lake of the Ozarks

In this video I explore new water on lake of the Ozarks in search of pre-spawn crappie. During the early part of the pre-spawn season, crappie will suspend near the mouths (around points) and in the middle of creek channels. Side Imaging is must when trying to find these suspended fish, crappie will show up as bright dots or short lines. Fish are easiest to spot when scanning over a soft bottom (mud/muck) like the middle of creek channels.

Thanks for posting. I've got a Garmin Side Imaging unit that I need to learn how to use and it's nice to see some samples of what fish look like when you're using it.

[@FloppingCrappie]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@jonstokes3122]

Great show

[@FloppingCrappie]

thanks!

[@ozarkadventurer5930]

Bigguns are fun to catch but b the 10" fish is the best eating size. Another good video 👌

[@JIgginCrappie]

That was a good video

[@johnboyd2360]

Nice video

[@FloppingCrappie]

thanks

[@CatfishandCrappie]

You must have big hands like I do. My hands make every fish look small (seriously). Happy Fishing!

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks for watching

[@jerrysadler6100]

Thank you, would love to see more on how to set up the unit , the side view is great, thanks again ,, also which bird are you using

[@FloppingCrappie]

thanks for watching, I have the Helix 9. More Humminbird videos to come.

[@andyd3540]

Could you show us how your transducer installed correctly? I did all the settings but it not showing clear image on fishing finder. I have helix 3 si version 3

[@FloppingCrappie]

yes, i will be filming a video series on how to install/use this humminbird unit

[@toddbogeart6757]

Hey man it's Chef should have been pushing those big jigs quarter ounce 3 inch tail's or bigger vertical trolling cold water killer,jig poles wk great for trolling lite easy to handle those trolling rods good for big lead deep water loved video keep it up brother.

[@mokush4me412]

Nice...Crazy how the limit there is only 15. It’s 50 a day here in South Louisiana...

[@steveravely6708]

Here in Wisconsin we have a short growing season and Musky's and Norther Pike that follow crappies into the shallows when they spawn and have a feast so our bag limits go down, down, down

[@andyd3540]

Hi, how come my fish finder is not as clear as your helix 9 gen 1. I have a helix 7 gen3 si. I mean I can barely see anything with a sonar? Thanks

[@FloppingCrappie]

make sure your transducer is mounted level with the water. also make sure it is far enough away from your outboard so it doesn't cause interference.

[@andyd3540]

Flopping Crappie got it thanks

[@galaxygoonz6303]

🙏🙏

[@michaelrogers404]

Should pull some crankbaits it does good at that lake

[@FloppingCrappie]

We thought about doing that, but we were catching some good fishing slowly trolling jigs. It seemed the slower we trolled the more big fish we caught.
