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.
Thanks Daniel, I am glad you're enjoying!
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
Thanks for letting us see you don’t get a fish with every cast!thanks for keeping it realistic! big thanks
Wow I'm impressed you can get that light of a rig to cast.
Good fishing and stunning crappie you caught.
When the fishing is tough, you try crazy sh*t. lol
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.
I know 1 thang!! you wont never go hungry!! that little jig is deadly huh!! Super Fantastic job!! as usual...smashed the thumbs up again!!
Thanks for keeping it Realistic. Nice catch. Those bluegill would have been a good dinner.
Thanks for watching TaurusMan 👍
Awesome video!!! Take care and hope you have a wonderful day today!!!
Thanks Rodney! Merry Christmas
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!
Glad you're out there fishing 👍
awesome video, I can't believe how big ur channel got, I remember when we were both at 100. you are now in the thousands, congrats, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Griz! Merry Christmas
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.
Enjoyed watching this. I went to a new lake yesterday that was covered in pads and other aquatic vegetation. Caught a pickerel and that was it.
Thanks John. Hopefully you will find more winter fish :)
Try the gulp 1in to 3in minnow it works wonders on all species of fish
I actually have some! I will try them one of these days. :)
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 ;)
Floats and small baits are where its at for me when its cold. I hope to find some big ones this season. 👍
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.
This helped alot I lose rigs alot im new to fishing about 7 months in and its gotten better. Plus I seem to strike out alot seeing this lets me know its not easy like all these vids but it is still fun and catch or not I love it
Great day of fishing! I forgot how cool it is to catch the blue gill. I started just going for larger fish but I might have to go back and chill with some blue gill soon!
Very nice Crappie!
Thanks!
Great video, love the hat and Merry Christmas!
Thanks. Merry Christmas!
HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS! KEEP IT REALISTIC WHILE YOU HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH!!!! TAKE CARE GOD BLESS ALL!!!!!!!
Nice! Killin them with the drop shot. The hate continues below in the comments
Good thing I have the hate eraser.
Like I said nice little honey hole. Hey where's the boat man?
Yeah, the prep on the boat takes as long as this whole trip. I hope to take it out more in the future though.
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.
That is really a nice looking spot to fish. I know with the spots i fish i have had the best luck with jigs and bobbers. Most of the ponds i am at are about 8 feet deep.
Fishing with a float isn't glorious... but I am out catching fish while other people aren't. Thats what I like about it. Thanks for the comment!
You are right its not the most glorious way to fish but fishing is not always pretty its about catching not looking good lol
Have a happy and blessed new year Alex
I'm QUITE impressed with the H2O Express rods, I just picked up a Delta for $19.99 and it is by far the best rod that I have purchased in the past 25 years, especially for he money.
dude I'm so happy I found your channel
Awesome, thanks!
Just for me and my husband will you please do a glow in a dark bobber fishing challenge
Great video man. Showing the work is good.
Thanks David
Looks like you did a lil better than me, my drop shot rig trip I only managed to get one war mouth in the yak. Keep them videos coming!
Float fishing with a baitcaster isn't pretty but its doable. :)
hey man what ever works, I know how it is
Awesome crappie! I have still yet to catch one of those, they are very elusive in my area
As of now I could only suggest trying near trees in 5-10 ft of water. Thanks for watching SW!
I did sub. I like this video. You show what it actually takes. Those that fish can appreciate it. I will definitely add this type of footage into my vids. Fish on!
Keep it original and realistic! :)
No doubt. Thanks for the support on my channel also and and always, Fish on!
Great video to help me through the winter! The only thing I might suggest is lighter line. It seems pretty thick when you are retying your rig.
Yeah, its my bass rod so it has 12 lb test.
Realistic Fishing oh my bad! The light must have been hitting it just right, looked like 20lb+.
that place looks amazing for fishing
Its pretty good! This is the first year I fished it in the winter.
Sub'd cause of this video. Good job man if I lived near that I'd stay there. Lol
Thanks!
Thanks for being there Alex!
great video............
Thanks........
you have some good videos very ummmmm...... Realistic lol!!!! I subbed you , hope you have a great 2017
Thanks WCO!
Is that the same company that extreme Philly fishing uses for his helgramite?
I dont think so.
Good video!Merry Christmas!
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Realistic Fishing Merry Christmas !
Never did like tree fishing.LOL
Tree pounder!
Wish our waters looked like that in winter im in Minnesota
Sometimes I miss ice fishing.... but not that much 😉
way to get em! Tellem to KEEP IT REALISTIC!!!!!
KEEP IT REALISTIC IN THIS MUG!
Nice fish!
Thanks!
Your intro is hilarious.
Another great video. Have you ever tried ice fishing? Here in Colorado, just about all of the water is frozen so I think I'm going to try to fish the ice for the 1st time. Keep the vids coming!!
I have tried Ice fishing. I used to live near Chicago and did ok on perch, crappie, bluegill, and bass.
great video
Thanks!
nice video, merry Christmas!
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you as well.
Hell yeah brother is that the black max reel btw? Thought I recognized and heard you but yeah still my go to reel for basically everything and a great price as well.
Nice video!
Thanks CBF!
great video buddy
Thanks bobby!
Awesome videos! Definitely suscribed!! 🐟🎣
Thanks!
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.
There is a drop off from 3 to 10 ft in this area. 👍
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.
Enjoyed your video! I think I'll check out some more!
Thanks!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks, you too!
Newish fisher here, just getting into budget fishing; roundabout what temp is to cold for fish to be active. I'm wanting to try fishing all year round this year, since I'm stay at home parent.
Fish still bite with ice on the water. Its finding them thats the hard part.
Realistic Fishing alrighty then. That settles it. Thanks man. Love the channel. Keep it Reel.
thanks for subscribing, it appears i've been a subscriber :P
Thanks for the comment. It will remind me to come watch your videos. ;)
great vid
Thanks Redux
You need to do some catfishing there, Got some good structure and depth.
Sweet video btw
I have caught some catfish in this spot. I might try again that when it warms up a little bit.
Because I'm in Kansas and would like to do some fishing if u want sometime
Maybe if I am in Kansas one day.
Nice. Going tomorrow in SW Mississippi; 53°. What's the last jig used?
Great vids man!!
Thanks Miguel
Ok that's a nice idea using a float to keep from losing your job.
I you'd that same minnow bait but I don't dropshot with it
hey what kind of gear are u using......im jus gettin into baitcasting fishing?......o and nice video man!
Thats an Abu Garcia Black Max reel on a H20 Ethos rod. I am using 12 lb test line.
Merry Christmas buddy! Left a like
Thanks! Merry Christmas
Button up Your jacket it's cold outside! I'm ADD, ADHD, bipolar and Did I mention I have f****** Tourette's Too! I didn't think I'd be able to watch a video over 5 minutes long but that was very entertaining from start to finish good job brother Merry Christmas!
Thanks man. Stay calm and tape your eyelids open.
Lol. I always do! hey what pound test do You use when finesse fishing?
On my baitcaster, I use 12 lb.
thumbs up!
Good 👍
Nice sak-a-lait too....blacken sandwich
Looked like a spotted bass at 7:50?? Not large mouth..???
Not sure, and it doesnt really matter that much to me anyway 😉
@@RealisticFishing haha alright man..Just something to talk about. 🤓
Nice video what state are u in?
TN
A nice multi species day. Too bad you had to lose so many rigs. That’s the cost of fishing huh?
Hey realistic I have my new vid coming out soon, it will not be the mtb one, but a video from earlier this summer
I hope to see it in my feed.
Realistic Fishing new vid is out btw
nice
Thanks!
《Klae Outdoors》 I know you.
《Klae Outdoors》 Qq
What ever happened to the black max?
I still have it 👍
Nothing gets in the way of Realistic Fishing dangit! Who cares if its winter, there's fish to catch!
It ain't always pretty, but it is Realistic
Nice! What state?
Just east of Nashville Tennessee!
pretty real video, no hype.
Thanks! I try to keep it realistic :)
Are you in the pnw ?
Got snags? 😜
That’s a pretty heavy lure....
What state are you located in?
TN
Where can purchase the the reel?
I was just getting ready to say!!! you are deadly with dat rig......then you lost it!! Tis fishing...If your not getting hung up....your not crappie fishing!
Losing rigs is my thing. lol
Does it matter what time of day in the winter?
Yes, I had better luck in the afternoon. But anytime is a good time to try if thats the time you have.
did you get the kast king back yet?
Yeah, I haven't used it all that much yet.
Lost my whole rig.. Son of a... 😆
what gopro do you use??
I don't use go pro. This is a Kodak Pix Pro SP1
Them some lil fish he's catching
Yeah its pretty realistic. Nobody catches 5 pounders on every trip.
what is the rod and reel you are using
Thats an Abu Garcia Black Max on an Ethos rod from Academy.
Nice size? Don't know where you are but they get too big to hold that way here in ga. Big enough to put your thumb in the mouth half way the bluegill and red breast that is.
Someone always catches bigger fish, only jerks point it out.
Where you from country buck
TN
@@RealisticFishing good man
Try going in a boat its more fun
It is?
Recently had very slow fishing tried a trout power bait eggs chartreuse for the heck of it catching bigger yellow perch and bluegill’s whatever it is they like it.
