Nice video Where buy the bait

Awesome fishing

Awesome fish great video buddy you about ready to get on some crappie

Wow ! Nice !

I have the FMJ Chad Ferguson series whisker seeker rod as well but I have the medium heavy spinning reel version. And on it I have the new Okuma A baitfeeder spinning reel in the 6,000 size I find with big flatheads and blues you need at least a 6,000 size spinning reel in order for the reel to not crack or break under the pressure. And trust me I learned that the hard way when my 4,000 size reel cracked on me when I hooked into a big flathead this season. But using a spinning reel for big catfish is definitely possible for sure and it's my preferred way to fish for them too I have nothing against baitcasters I have used them in the past I just prefer spinning reels personally. And I have 50 lb braid to a 40 lb leader for my big flathead catfish rigs and for the size of the flatheads we have around here where I live that seems to be sufficient because they average around 30 lbs to 40 lbs here.

Excellent! Is there an ideal depth of water for the docks to be in? You mentioned 4' of water.

Nice blue! I just don't hardly have the strength any more to reel in those monsters.

Good video!! Any rhyme or reason for dock selection? Do they all hold fish or are you looking for key attributes?

What a donkey! Old Blue took you for an exciting ride!

Awesome my friend keep it up and keep those lines tight

Does the handle switch to the left side? For some reason, I can't reel right-handed, even though I'm right-handed. Lol

Way to go “ nice looking fish.

Slabs🐟🐟🐟💯👍🏼

Thanks for the instructions how to tie your rigs. Never too old to learn new techniques.

Nice slab Jake

Great info! Do some crappie remain under docks year round? I know many go deep; I was hoping for year round fun.

I was fishing from shore one day at that park across from the power plant. And a pleasure boater came up so close they was almost to where I was cast out to. I was pissed they was all happy and waving. I flipped them off then they looked all confused. I mean you have the whole lake why are you driving into area where I'm fishing.

Watching 👀 you from Commie California while you are Fishing in Commie Illinois. Stay Away from Chicago and be Safe. Tight Lines 🎣

Awesome technique works amazing on the hard to reach spots the big slaps hang in!!

I have never tried "shooting docks" but I definitely will have to give it a try.

Nice work Jake!!! We need to hook up !!

😭

Ive been practicing that shooting technique in my backyard. I have 7ft Lews wally marshall signature series Cant remember the reel off the top of my head. But im able to hit a 5 gallon bucket from about 10 - 15 yards. Im tryin to keep it less than 3 or 4 feet off the ground simulating going up under a dock. Seems to work pretty well. I wanna get out and give it a shot.

Going to lake vermillon Tuesday in Danville lots of docs

I wanna go ice fishin with you man. Never been before.

Duuuudde Jake. We need to get out on yaks together! I dont have a peddle drive(yet) but i got my pelican catch 110 that im lovin. (Btw larry's brother adam)

Nice. Great video Jake

Good afternoon ! Jiggin with jake. I’m waiting on some new casting for crappies catch and cook KZbin videos from your home and you are using the ACC crappie stix green series 7’6” casting split grip spinning rod . I love all of your casting KZbin videos for crappie and shells crawler and red ear and bluegills videos 👍

🙋🏾🫶🏾dock shooting 🎣

Hey Jake, what kind of trolling motor setup are you running there?

Love the videos keep them coming bud =)

What rod are you using I have been trying to find a good rod with a lite tip with a good bend and a strong backbone

Thanks for sharing that way of casting, pretty slick!

Cant waitvto get back out my self mu lake doest have docks

Hey Jake enjoy watching your videos. Have used some of your methods with my son and caught lots of fish. Just curious what lakes you fish? I go to Shelbyville a lot but always looking for other lakes near me to try. Thanks for videos keep em coming.

I been missing you Jake I'm glad you back making nice crappie videos

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

While I'm not the best at dock shooting, those coves hold tons of crappie in the spring and fall! Thanks for the tips! Watch out for the swan, he loves to shake ya down for snacks.

Nice Crappie.

I use just a plain white Charlie Brewer slider but I dip the tail in Spike-It Dip-N-Glow. I also add a pink Berkley crappie nibble to the hook. Works like a champ!

What body of water was this if you don't mind me asking ?

If you ever hit Clinton, they've got some slabs out there, if you can find the right spot. Sincerely, a fellow central Illinoian

Fall slabs!!!

Great video Jake. Keep 'em coming.

Good to see you back. Awesome video and NICE FISH 👍.

Great video on dock shooting!

I gotta practice this shooting technique… great video!
