Getting cold water fish to bite - Bluegill, Bass, and Crappie fishing in winter!

  • Can TH-cam help me become a better fisherman? In this video I make adjustments in order to find what they are biting. I start with a drop shot plasma tail and end up fishing a float rig. I manage to catch some nice bluegills, a nice crappie, and some small bass. In winter the fish can be finicky. So if you aren't getting bit, try something else until you figure out what they want. I am fishing all of these rigs on a the Abu Garcia Black Max baitcast reel and an Ethos 7ft rod.

    Nice video. I like the fact that show you every cast is not a fish. You show it takes more than one cast and multiple lures to catch fish. This is REALISTIC FISHING. Thanks. I am enjoying your videos.

      I was just about to come down and comnent exactly this. Alot of new anglers including myself have no idea how many times to trie a spot and when to switch baits

    Wow I'm impressed you can get that light of a rig to cast.
    Good fishing and stunning crappie you caught.

    • @RealisticFishing

      When the fishing is tough, you try crazy sh*t. lol

      @MrRiboflavin 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha, absolutely. A small rig that has produced for me every single time I've taken it out is a 1/15th oz Zman Finesse Jig with a Zman ShadZ in grn pumpkin/blue flake. I throw it on a med light spinning rig.

    Our pre-winter cool down is just starting and I've begun catching more bass. I had been doing a lot of micro fishing for bluegill and shiners etc. I give the shiners to my friend Norm. He's an older guy who's been fishing the area for 50 years. Every shiner I give him saves him anywhere from $1.50 to $2 at the bait shop. I'm working on a short documentary video on him for YT. Should be fun. Tight lines!

    @johnclassen604 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey realistic fishing your easy going style makes watching you videos enjoyable. Casting and casting without bringing in a fish every time gets frustrating and you keep it cool even when you snag a tree or lose your rig. Thanks and keep up the good work.

  • @JohnsFishTales

    You inspire me.
    I’ll do a little Float and Fly fishing this winter, myself.
    I’ll lay in a supply of Gulp!, and when I get cold - I’ll blame you!
    PS best eatin fish are those from cold water ;)

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Floats and small baits are where its at for me when its cold. I hope to find some big ones this season. 👍

    • @dahutful
      @dahutful 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Realistic Fishing I have left the Winter alone in recent years because it’s not really good Fly fishing.
      But you’re encouraging me.
      I’m in South Carolina, so what works for you ought to do so for me.
      Thanks again.

    It is a really nice crappie. Just saw my neighbor who caught his personal best crappie and I think it's bigger than the one you caught by about 2 in. He didn't measure it but it was a giant.

  • @Jmb905
    @Jmb905 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @RealisticFishing

    Bout how deep do you think it was in that general area? I plan on going fishing a time or two again before the weather turns.....well, crappie. Ba-dun-tsh. And before the county lake closes for December and January. With it getting cooler, I'm guessing fish will be moving g to deeper water. And there is one spot there that is deep that can be accessed for bank restricted anglers. Damn just over to the left of the lake entrance. Gets around 18-20 feet deep there I believe.

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a drop off from 3 to 10 ft in this area. 👍

    • @noneofyourbiz5469
      @noneofyourbiz5469 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Realistic Fishing nice. Goes to show fish can still be found, even in cold w3ather, when a lot of people might be inclined to hang their line up until spring. Also noted what you said about the cold water making the bluegill pale/muted in color. So if that does that, then if you find one that's got more vibrant blues/pinks/oranges, or blackish on the side, then chances are they've been in warm water, right? Learning lots of stuff watching your vids.
