- In this video we target crappie on laydown trees and brush piles. I started out looking for crappie on docks on this particular day, but the laydowns were obviously the right deal. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Reallyenjoying your crappie video's Brandon !
To your question....I've always wanted to run braid but I fish alot of clear water. I learned to tie the FG knot quickly via the Salt Strong method. Game changer for me. Now all my dock shooting, casting, and vertical rods are rigged with 10/2 yellow power pro FG'd to a clear leader. I brush the knot with clear lacquer from my fly-tying box since I cast thru guides. Casts seamlessly even with 1/32 jigs. That was my hang-up with double uni's... Always been a line watcher but as you know well- windy days and we lose contact with light jigs. I like viscous panfish but LOVE the distance and sensitivity of the braid without worrying about line shy fish in gin clear water. Appreciate all the crappie videos!!!! Thanks much :)
Great video
Nice work in the cold
Excellent TH-camr, no bragging… no measuring and keeping… no non stop advertising, just tell it like it is. Enjoy every minute 👍
Love crappie fishing like you do helps you with the active target👍
Yes it helps a ton! Thanks for watching!
I know you’re a professional bass fisherman but man I love your crappie videos keep them coming
We ain’t done crappie fishing yet 😂. Thanks for watching!
You can differently tell the sound of braid when reeling one in I use braid on all my rods tied straight to the jig.
Braid definitely has a very distinct sound. Thanks for watching!
Another great vudeo, very informative. Some days it is hard to find them, when you do it can be productive. Thanks for sharing. PB
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy the forward facing sonar views and explanation of bluegill vs crappie appearance.
Great video Brandon. I like to use braid with mono leader!
Thanks for watching!
Enjoying your crappie video's well done!
Some one say crappie 👀

I used to run a lot of Vicous, but never liked braid for crappie fishing. Found some P line cxx. 6# test in flourescent green and absolutely love it. I will not switch from the Pline for awhile as long as it works as good as it is now. Tight lines !!
Thanks for watching!
I wish you would upload every day some of the best crappie content out there
I wish I had time to upload every day lol! Thanks for watching!
You are a fishing machine, man I'm enjoying these videos, Thanks for sharing brother
Enjoyed your video!
Thanks!
Brandon I have been fishing for over 45 years. These years have been mostly concentrated on smallmouth and crappie. I do use braid for nighttime smallmouth and I have tried braid over the years on crappie and what I have found is I always come back to mono hi-viz for crappie. There is no doubt that braid is more sensitive but due to no stretch I have lost many big crappie over the years because what ends up happening is when you set the hook the no stretch ends up translating at the hook and you end up slicing or should I say tearing a hole. As long as you don't give the fish slack it's not that big of a deal but braid is not for me as far as using it for crappie fishing. I think using braid on crappie is a personal choice but over the years I got away from using it. To each his own.
That’s the same reason I have never liked braid for crappie. I have found that using a light action rod that is more limber than you would normally use will solve the problem. It’s hard to get away from the hi vis mono though, especially when you’ve caught thousands of them on it over the years. Thanks for watching!
I have a love hate relationship with braid. It is very sensitive, but I do get a lot of wind knots. Anymore I think straight mono is best for panfish. Heck, Bill Dance uses mono for just about everything and still catches a boat load. If it aint broke...don't fix it.
Yeah, I have tried several brands of braid and I got tired of the knots so I either use mono or fluorocarbon. I just replace the line yearly.
Mono will definitely get the job done. I just like playing around with different things to see if there is a better way. I use braid exclusively on my spinning rods for bass, but I’m still experimenting with it for crappie. Thanks for watching!
In clearer water like you are fishing I’ve had some success using 6lb. mono (SOS Line made by Crappie/Trout Magnet) with a 3lb. test fluorocarbon leader. Braid to flourocarbon can help detect the light bite but braid seems to be a little more buoyant and makes for a slower fall with a light jig. That’s good in some applications but I prefer to adjust the fall rate with jig head weight mainly. Braid does show up great on forward facing sonar though. It’s hard to argue with the setup that you are using when you’re sore lippin them all! Another great video!
Another great video I have a HI Vis yellow braid on my spinning combos for casting with a mono leader I just like the way it cast and can really feel the bite thanks again for sharing
Thanks again for another wonderful video. I love that sound coming from your rod when you reeling in those crappies. I remember back a couple of videos when you mentioned how it took you about a year or better to figure out that forward scan or something like that. It looks like you got it figured out…lol. Keep the great videos coming and please be safe out there.
Thanks for watching!
I use braid when vertical fishing and pitching slip corks. I hate using it when casting because I spend too much time dealing with wind knots.
I haven’t had that problem with the vicious panfish braid but I know what your talking about. I hate wind knots too. Thanks for watching!
Hello ! What size spinning rod and the name of the spinning rod you used in this TH-cam video and what the six best colors of the Leland lures crappie magnets bodies you used to catch them big fat slab crappies . Please answer this comment. Thank you so much and may god be with your heart to answer this comment please.🙏🙏
I was using braid for crappie fishing LOL before braid was cool I use it on all my rods I can't even use that tangling mono crap anymore it last longer way more senstive way stronger I even dock shoot with braid ...good vid man 👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice video, thanks. I use a Yum 3” grub (brown) on a 1/16 jig head (white usually). Thought I was doing pretty well, but looking forward to trying something different now 😎
I bet if you told him you’d give him some Crappie he shut that thing off
What am I doing wrong… ever time I try to fish tree tops I lose my jigs. Maybe use weed less?
I've gotten to where I use 6lb mono on all of my casting and dock shooting rods just due to the castability. I use heavy braid on my doodlesocking (vertical jig) rods for the feel and the odd catfish or green carp that wants to join the party.
Green carp😂😂. I have a good friend that uses 6lb exclusively and he catches the heck out of them. I just like the feel of 4. It’s all in what works for you and what your confident in. Thanks for watching!
I either use 2lb diameter braid or 4lb mono. When I use braid I do not use a leader because the type of braid that I use is small enough not to use one.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I tried the braid with a leader but wind fishing 1/16 jigs was awful. It was ok on calm days but seam to rise fast.
What jig pattern or color were u uesing in this vid
I love braid to leader but I have alot of current on the lake i fish and it just doesn’t sink well enough to use it all the time but I use it any time I can just watch the lite wire hooks I’ve straightened some before
Thanks for watching!

Brandon enjoy your content! Love it when you teach us ways to find crappies on new body of water. Can you explain the reason you have your electronic maybe mapping with you active target on front of boat? I know you know what you are doing so would you explain it to me, I would love to set mine up like that
I have a two part series that I uploaded last year called how to find crappie on a new lake that shows my complete electronics setup. Check it out if you haven’t seen it. Thanks for watching!
I would really enjoy going on a fishing trip with you I'm disabled and nobody wants to take me.....I want to catch as many crappie as I can before i go to be with the lord keep it up Ole buddy I've learned alot from watching your videos
Another great video. I went out Wednesday 11-30-22 planning on fishing docks as I’m learning to shoot dock and caught my fish of brush vertical fishing. How do you tie the braid to your leader ? Thank you 😊
I use an FG knot. It’s the same knot I use for bass fishing and is the best knot I’ve found for joining braid to fluro, but it is pretty hard to tie. The double uni knot works fine too but the FG is definitely stronger and goes through the guides better. Thanks for watching!
Leaf blowers are kinda comforting in the fall.....just not for filming. I am fishing from shore alot. Big lake. Big boat. Electronics. Not happening..
Do you use any type of attractant or crappie nibble type add on
I use slab bites sometimes when the bite is real tough. They will get you a few more bites for sure. As far as scent I use smelly jelly. Bass feast is my favorite flavor. Thanks for watching!
Nice video. What town/state was this in?
Middle Tennessee. Thanks for watching!
Another great Video! I'm a Smallie & Big Bluegill guy but have been getting into the 'Crappie thing' more the last 2 years. I've been using straight 4LB mono as well as 6LB Fluoro, & am liking those setups pretty well! Do you have a favorite 'go to' on your line?
My go to has always been vicious 4lb hi-vis mono. I’ve caught thousands on it but I’m experimenting with braid just to see if there is a better way. Thanks for watching!
@@BrandonLesterFishing thanks Buddy! I just put out my 1st couple Crappie Vids recently, hope you get a minute to check em out & critique!
Are you using a clear or fluorocarbon leader or are you tying hi vis mono directly too jig head?? Enjoying the videos and learning alot Thanks
What state are you fishing?
Dude like your videos, I have one question for ya. I know you’re a Lowrance guy like myself, how come you don’t run a ghost trolling motor?
Good question! I find it easier to use active target with the ultrex. With the way the head of the trolling motor moves it’s just easier to stay lined up on your target versus the ghost where the head doesn’t move. The ghost is a great trolling motor it’s just a personal preference thing. Thanks for watching!
I'm no sport fisherman so I don't throw my fish back maybe if I had a bigger bank account I might no I wouldn't even do it if I could afford to be a sport fisherman
I fish because I love fishing, getting to keep a few to eat is just a bonus. Do whatever you want. Thanks for watching
