Crappie Fishing Tips - The Only 4 Crappie Baits That Matter

[@lebronjames1345]

Damn this is the only fishing video that isn’t 20 minutes of watching someone else fish while they vaguely describe the content of the video without giving a solid answer

[@dochunter4960]

I'm 75 and have been using a "BLACK ANT FLY, with a BB Split shot under a Slip Bobber for fifty some years with Excellent results. Little Crappie pass on them but the BIG ONES Hit it like mad. Actually they hit it on the way down.

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks man, Ill have to try one... do you get some nice gills to?

[@anthonycannestro9440]

Dude awesome video. Ive saltwater fished my while life, crappie fishing is new to me. Im about to go out and slay these fish. Thanks for tips and all the great advice

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks man! good luck out there!

[@CarriannJohnson_GrittyGlory]

Great video! I fished with minnows and leaches last summer. Crappie gobbled em up! 👍🏻

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks! hard to beat live bait for summer slabs!

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

Carriann......can we go fishing together?!

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

@Caleb White - was a joke dude.

[@darkstar6909]

I found a lure that works by accident. I relocated from WA to AR, brought my trout gear and after lots of casting and not catching I tied on a chartreuse Pistol Pete fly. These flies have a small propeller near the top of the hook that gives flash and mimics motion, and the crappie went nuts for them. Sadly I snagged and lost the last two I had so I'll have to get some more online.

[@jimwilleford6140]

When did crappie move north? It have I been in the dark. As a kid, waaay back during WW2, in Mississippi, we’d go over into Louisiana with a double flat boat, and cane poles. Used works and every time we would take one off, and Reba it we’d catch another. This was in the lake/swamps full of huge fresh water cedars.

[@dominatefishing9641]

its fun fishing in the fresh water cedars... as log as there are no snakes! fishing is different up here... more weeds and down trees.

[@brandonh1133]

Slayed some slabs with live minnows this weekend first time fishing for them as I’m from Colorado and mostly trout fish. I was at Lake of the Ozarks fishing from a dock. Caught my limit everyday.

[@dominatefishing9641]

nice work man! are they white or black crappie over there?

[@mrparrotman03]

Loveee these works like magic caught big pike back to back with these!!!!

[@hellbilly1373]

I like to use a modified plastic bait to imitate a leech. I take a long, curly tailed worm and cut it short so I have about 3 inches of tail and a quarter inch of the body. It works great with a black jig or bullet weights.

[@scottkennedy4687]

I’ve been looking for Culprit Swim Fin Grubs but cannot find them anywhere. Has Culprit quit making crappie soft plastics?

[@alaskamike3577]

This is great. Some great starting baits to try for sure. Crappies are my weakness. I do well with bass and bream, Crappies, not so much. Thank you for the tips.

[@dominatefishing9641]

you bet man! good luck!

[@anthonyfrank426]

The vast number of lakes I fish crappies go crazy for the scrub which looks like a tadpole it's by far the best producer for me

[@bidkid2020]

I would like to know more about the black Twisted Tail 6 inch thanks

[@shawnlowder9810]

Charlie Brewer's slider grubs are crazy good crappie lures.

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks for the tip man! I like paddle tails!

Trolling Rapala ULS over weed flats in summer is killer technique

[@kevinkev500]

OK, I've subscribed and send for you magic 5 baits, you've caught another. Nice videos with good information. I'm a far western WI fisherman and the lake scenery in your videos looks like you're in the same general area (MN, MI, WI).

im new to going after crappie im in michigan will these colors go with my state?

[@dominatefishing9641]

yep! good luck out there!

[@junkpuncher4201]

Red worms / earth worms are real good

[@leonardmoore2946]

Like your videos. I'm interested in your crappie tackle videos.

[@midwestoutdoors1442]

Thanks for the video, I found the same thing with the 2" Gulp or Berkely minnow on a crappie hook. I have videos on Catching Crappies & Bluegills, baits to use, and how to make the best Bluegill bait for Spring and Summer. Very close to some of your videos.

[@eugeneburton6878]

1/16 oz. Pink or orange head and 2inch Bobby Garland all different colors will catch limits of crappie all season long especially in the winter.

[@AddictedAngler]

This is what I was looking for

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks man!

[@patrickguillory7552]

I want to thank you for fishing tip & knowledge............... I tried what you thought me, casting out & slow retrieving.........Caught lots of crappie & bass.......

[@dominatefishing9641]

Awesome man! glad I could help!!

[@aidanlapham2929]

I catch bluegills in Colorado at a pond called flying B park and they will eat almost anything bugs big ones eat minows and fish eggs

[@crystaldavis6169]

Could you do a video of you destroying the crappie? I’ve caught some big ones on a beetle spin. You take the grub off and put a cut red worm on and cast and crank. Pow 💥

[@dominatefishing9641]

yea man...

[@askal857]

want something that's a forsure bite? pan assassin grey and pepper gold belly. gets them everytime. even after sunset.

[@mattnetko2282]

what to tie on the end of your line for crappie...1. no.6 hook. what to add to the hook...1.crappie minnow there is no 2

[@bobbyking2819]

Egret Wedgetail crappie minnows are my favorites. Looks and swims like a minnow at all speeds from very slow to fast. I have fished for years with these and always will. Many good baits out there, but none have that fast side to side tail swim at all speeds, like the 2" wedgetails. I fish them slow in and around structure. People fish these too fast, but slow n easy is killer.

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks for the tip!

[@Fudpuckerynot1]

I live near Sullivan Lake, Sullivan, Sullivan County, Sullivan, Indiana(Guess they liked the name, huh??) What works best for me is a 1/16th oz. jig head with a blue with white tail solid head jig body. Usually outfishes live minnows, even in cold water conditions. I use a light action rod with 6 lb. test line, many times under a weighted tube shaped bobber, for a slower presentation. When they are hitting more aggressively, I use a jig spinner to make a mini spinnerbait.

[@michaelprevost1229]

Just learning how to fish crappies.Thanks for the tips

[@jeffree6996]

Michael Prevost throw a gulp minnow on a trout magnet jighead, 3 feet under a bobber with 4lb mono. That's all you need to know when crappie are in casting distance

[@wekatcomps1645]

You can also catch monster crappie on spinnerbaits

[@Jardhead7x]

Can you put the links to buy them at. Thank you

[@manueldsalinas2147]

Ive had best luck with over spin minnows from Creme

[@dominatefishing9641]

nice man! I have never tried those... Ill have to give them a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@njstorozuk]

True

[@njstorozuk]

Watched an elderly gentleman slay perch and crappie while I stalled the lake. He had a Loomis rod, jigs on his Vest and mainly creme brand/style lures

[@TrueWord66]

Hey, good information. Do you ever find yourself not catching crappie even though you know they're there? And do you always carry these with you? Except minnows. You should also look into the crappie magnet jigs, they've been good.

[@dominatefishing9641]

good question... yes, sometimes I know the Crappie are there and they just wont bite. normally you can get them to hit something... but there are some days you get nothing. yes I always take these baits with me. thanks I will try them.

[@gagegarton6844]

Hey you should check out Creme plastics and make a video with them!

[@dominatefishing9641]

I will, thanks!

[@hazardkentuckyfishing9897]

Nice vid! Good info. Do you think the walmar t tubes marketed under R2F are any good?

[@dominatefishing9641]

yes those will work just fine!

[@hazardkentuckyfishing9897]

Sweet, I recently bought a butt load of them cause my local walmar t had a clearance run on them. I seriously got about 30 kits for 10 cents each. Have plenty of extra if your interested in a couple freebies.

[@dominatefishing9641]

thanks a lot man! that is really nice! Im pretty stocked up... i'd hate to make you pay shipping...

[@roymartin4771]

try some slab buster jigs. Awesome here in missouri.

[@jeffree6996]

Number one is a emerald shiner gulp minnow. Number two is a Bobby Garland baby shad. After those two, nothing matters

[@dominatefishing9641]

I love the emerald shiner gulp minnow! thanks for sharing!

[@jasonbeam6897]

Put your pole in the water

[@sodeepopkid6855]

Crickets, #6 hook with small lead and bobber.Bam.

[@DavidSmith-wt8oy]

Bluegills are very easy. Ultralight rod and they'll eat pretty much anything that will fit in their mouths and they can out swim. Ideally red worms beetle grubs, wax worms etc. Even a piece of a night crawler. Or any lure that mimicks these foods sources. Fish eggs even used canned corn before. They usually like some sort of structure just like Crappie and alot of times you'll find them together with Crappie or very near by. But Bluegills are easier to catch and usually locate than Crappie are. Alot of times if there's bass or Crappie in the body of water your fishing chances are there's Bluegills too. You'll find them all over the place. Biggest thing is water temperature cold water your gonna have a slow bite. They tend to bite better when Temps get up close to 70 degrees. Spring time during spawn they'll bite. But unlike trout pike and Walleye they're more of a warm water type of fish. Like bass and Crappie are. But then if you're in Texas you probably don't need to worry about temp as much. At least in spring and fall anyway. I'm in Maryland and they're all over the place out here. In the ponds lakes rivers and the Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries. They're fairly hardy little fish. Alot of spring fed ponds around here and they fill all of them up with large mouth bass and some have Crappie in them.

[@TheAnglingGlobetrotters]

Not very informative in regards to thinking outside the box. If you limit your choices to the lures you've chosen for this video (which practically work in similar if not exactly the same scenarios) you'll be only successful in the days that crappie fishing is red hot. I've had days where no one on the lake was catching crappie with any of the above mentioned lures and then some, but when I started using a small suspending cranks and jerkbaits (megabass live-x smolt & Jackall Squirrell 61sp) I bagged out. Limiting your lure/bait selection will inevitably result in failure (read 0 fish in the boat)

[@waldowaggins1330]

I’ll tell y’all my secret in two words, wax worms. if your fishing with wax worms and don’t catch a crappie or bluegill then there aren’t any there

[@nightingaleseraph]

I feed waxworms to my insectivores, they’re like crack in bug form.

[@dwightstewart7181]

Only four? Really? And only artificial soft plastics? Seems kind of limiting. I don't use soft plastics at all. There are so many other choices to try and use.

[@elrobles15o]

Maybe micro crankbaits

[@dwightstewart7181]

@@elrobles15o .. Yes, along with hair jigs, flies, live worms, and more. With artificials, just stick with smaller ones under 1.5 to 2 inches. One inch is even better. The only reason I stay away from soft plastics is the chemical smells. I ruined two (not so cheap) tackle bags before saying enough is enough.

[@elrobles15o]

@@dwightstewart7181 yeah you're right. the only plastics I have are some curly tail grubs and I use some rebel lures. I usually stick to live bait

[@dwightstewart7181]

@@elrobles15o .. While I frequently use hard baits (crankbaits, spinners, spoons, flies, homemade lures, etc), live baits (worms. crickets, minnows, etc) are my favorite too.
