Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🎄🎣

We kind of turned a bad day into a fun day by accident. Never knew drum could be caught that way. Good to hear from you. 🎣

Just years of fishing this lake and learning seasonal tendencies. In some instances, I knew there were stumps or brush piles along the bank. Great question. 🎣

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the content. 🎣

@Chicken_wing13 I appreciate it. I've taken a little break, but I hope to start making more content in the fall. Thanks for checking it out. 🎣

I have zero complaints. Still have that exact same one you see in that video. I hope it works out for you. 🎣

@@GordonPettieFishing tight lines brother! I’ll keep you posted! 🔥🎣🔥

Guntersville Lake, AL. We are fishing off shore. Looking for the deeper beds in the 5 to 7 foot range. I think those fish don't get targeted as much as the ones that spawn right close to the bank.

Lake Guntersville is a beautiful lake being seen from the highway. Especially around Scottsboro. I agree with you about where people target bream and shellcracker. I’ve drifted flats and can smell fish in 5 to 7 feet. Caught a lot of them drifting. Bream and shellcracker have definitely gotten bigger in lake Eufaula over the years. It’s become a much more furtile lake than it used to be

I like using crickets for bluegill especially when the mayflies are hatching along the edges and some of the cypress trees on some of the flats. I never go fishing without worms regardless what I’m fishing for.

That’s my kind of fishing yall do doing at Guntersville.

Thank you. It was a fun day. 🎣

I had a TRITON before I had this boat. The jackets matched the red and black in my Skeeter so I kept them. 🎣🎣

I have had to take a break from fishing as much and haven't been on the water very much since just before Thanksgiving. Dealing with a few minor health issues that is keeping me off the water. I'm hoping to get back out there eventually so I can record a few trips. Thanks for asking 🎣🎣🎣

@@GordonPettieFishing sorry to hear that hope your doing better if it will be ok with you I would like to pray for your health and have my church to pray

@@georgefaulk2268 I appreciate it ❤️

That was an ACC Crappie Stix 12 foot Crossover rod. If you watch the video right before this one, you will see it in action. Heavy Cover Crappie. Thanks for watching. 🎣

I believe it was mid March.

I haven't. I have a few different models. I'm not sponsored by them, by the way. I have had rods break before, both crappie and bass rods. Most of the time, rod breakage is due to abuse of some type, (all brands). High sticking, stepping on them, and causing a weak spot, closing lids on them and causing a weak spot, etc. The rod usually breaks a few trips later, and we don't remember that we stepped on it or high sticked that fish a few trips ago. Thanks for watching. 🎣

Yes, it was a hair jig. No spinner. 👍

That's probably the best part of the catch. When you feel that THUMP! 🎣

Thanks for watching. Tight lines 🎣

I appreciate it. I hope you can pick up a tip or 2 along the way through my videos. Tight lines 🎣

In my setup on this box, you would have to. If you had two SAE ports, you could use one for charging. The switch has to be on to open the circuit for power or for charging. I think you will like this setup. I still like mine, and I use the box for other things as well.

The seats were done by an upholstery shop that Duck River Marine uses. The rims are 18's. They had to custom build the fenders to accommodate the 18 inch rims and tires.

@@GordonPettieFishing thanks I was thinking about 18” rims but didn’t know about the fenders

It's amazing that those big smallmouth will go after that tiny bait. That little blade has tremendous flash. I'm gonna bet you will smash them under the right conditions. Tight lines 🎣

In Tennessee, the TWRA raises them in Hatcheries across the State. They stock them on a yearly basis as needed on all of my local lakes. Usually 50 to 100,000 fingerlings at a time. They do very well and grow fairly quickly. They are very aggressive, which makes them very fun. Tight lines 🎣

We catch just a few a year in North Texas and they rarely make the 10" mark.

Yep. I don't let weather conditions dictate when I go. Someone always catches em in all conditions. Tight lines 🎣

A fun way to catch em. Tight lines 🎣

There is just something about dropping it right on their face and the bend of that long pole. Tight lines 🎣

I got it last year for Christmas and I really like it. They are very light, balanced well, and have a ton of back bone. You can fish it all day in comfort. Thanks for watching. 🎣

Likewise! I got mine last year for Christmas as well. I have a Shimano reel on mine with 6lb Crappie Maxx.

Yes, I do. A few of my 1st few crappie videos, when I 1st started doing videos, there was no Livescope, and Side imaging was not even out yet. Hardly no one watched those videos. Crappie videos got more popular after Livescope came out ironically. I caught just as many fish then as I do now and in the same spots. I just don't have to waste time looking now or fishing a spot that doesn't have fish. That allows me to fish more spots in a day if I have to.

@@GordonPettieFishing maybe could tag one of those videos I am just starting out and I don’t use electronics only lake map and I would love to see those videos love your videos cover everything that needs to be an clear how to thank u so much

Yep, that's what was happening. My jig was never hitting the water most of the time on that section of docks. I got very frustrated because there was a pretty good school under a couple of docks right there that I never got a jig to.

Sometimes, I forget to mention in the video itself. However, I will always have it in the video description. Thanks for watching. 🎣

Punisher jigs made the kit that they came in. It was over 20 years ago. Punisher Jigs is now Dale Hollow Tackle. I have contacted them, and they won't make them in the 1/16 oz like the ones I have now. I have a handful left. I have tied a few myself since. They are craft hair jigs. You might could find someone who ties hair Jigs to duplicate them.

@GordonPettieFishing by chance, you can spend me a pic of them . Do you sell them

@@bobbydavis8776 I don't sell them. I have pictures on my phone of the original. I can send them to you. Let me know the best way.

@@GordonPettieFishing cell phone

@bobbydavis8776 If you are on FB I can send them through messenger.

It sure makes it fun. Just have to be careful around docks and when setting the hook. I broke a few off throughout the day. Tight lines 🎣

I appreciate it. It sure is fun catching them that way. I have really come to like the long pole over the last year, as I never used to use one. It definitely opens up another way of catching them. It sure is amazing how many never bite but will follow or track for many feet. Thanks for watching 🎣

Sometimes, those little changes can make a big difference in the bite. Thanks for watching. 🎣

You should check them out. Been fishing them for 3 or 4 years now for crappie. Gonna be sad when boats start filling those slips up. 🎣

Will do next time I'm out . @@GordonPettieFishing

Thank you. Tight lines 🎣

I appreciate it. No, it's the original 32 LVS. Still does a good job for my needs. Thanks for watching 🎣

😁😁 Yep. It was definitely loaded. That's a fun way to catch em for sure. Thanks for watching 🎣

@@GordonPettieFishing without a doubt 🎣. Enjoyed watching man🤙🏽

Str8-UP Mounts is the name of the company. I hope this video helped. Thanks for watching 🎣

I really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I hope I can entertain with content and some tips that work for me along the way. 🎣

This was earlier in the week. I was there Thursday as well. They bit much better Thursday. I didn't have any huge ones on Thursday, but I did Friday. That 2.47 was a STUD. Good catch. 🎣

@GordonPettieFishing yes sir! You had some nice ones as well sir! I almost had the limit but wind got crazy so I came on home

One of my buddies that long.poles pretty often uses 10. Braid might be even better if fishing in trees like I was in this video. I used to have that bug as well. Bow season was always my favorite.

That was pretty fun pulling those suckers out of that top. Thanks for watching 🎣

You near Monroe?

@@2005Pilot yes sir

In the fall and winter, I use Devil's Step because of the draw down. Tight lines 🎣
