I grew up fishing with my mom, from the time I was 5 and up, and she like to use a crappie jig with a small float set 4 to 6 feet deep, and it all depended on the time of day, morning to mid afternoon and after 5 or 6 o'clock. When we were fishing around lake Eufaula, we would catch shad with a net and fish with those with some good fortune; every now and then we would run onto some, what we called, sand-bass; I've never heard others call them Rock-bass, but we always fished with a small float to suspend the jig; nothing to big; because these Crappie are sensitive to resistance when they are nibbling at the bate.

Perfect timing for my next trip coming up! I appreciate the tip about moving the jig. I do this sometimes even when fishing with a minnow.

[@MarkVHarrison]

Short and sweet ,good info thanks

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks for watching!

[@charlesronk2989]

Thanks Davis for all that you have taught me on Crappie fishing. I was able to pass this on to my 87 year old father to help him catch his PB crappie this past weekend. I have to say though I am not a fan of those bobbers. I use braid and the line never slides through the bottom of the float. When you clip it on it gets caught up in the spring. Feeding it down the center is fine but why pay that extra for that. Just my opinion.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I agree when using braid line, id go with a slip bobber with a metal grommet. The line will slide through much easier than a plastic grommet. I'm glad to hear year dad was able to catch his PB!

[@alekart781]

That loop knot is tough huh

[@wadesoutdoors1914]

Thanks for the video , just wondering if you use the bobber when fishing with a live minnow?

[@macktr3314]

Appreciate your advice

[@jimmiemacd3603]

are the crappie taking the bobber all the way under? When I was fishing my bobber was bobbin but never went all the way under. Did I miss some chances?

[@lexingtonlad5745]

I’m gonna try this for perch on my local canal

[@zachburger7126]

Hopefully going tomorrow to do this same thing.

[@FloppingCrappie]

Good luck!

[@zachburger7126]

My boy got his biggest so far of 13.5 he's only 7 and man he is a crappie slayer

[@FloppingCrappie]

[@myriammorrison9840]

Love your vids

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@aferg1986]

Thank you for all of the videos Davis! Your advice and content are much appreciated and have helped put my best friend and I on some nice crappie on the inland lakes around here in northern Ohio, including lakes and reservoirs that were new to us. I was wondering if you have any content or advice on a Great Lake though. I’m asking because I live 20 minutes from Lake Erie and the Sandusky Bay and I find them more difficult to locate there outside of marinas and the spawn.

[@timkiss5157]

Davis, did you get a new boat yet? Post a video if you hadn’t already! Thanks!

[@FloppingCrappie]

Yes I did get a new boat. Posting the video tomorrow

[@timkiss5157]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see what it is and how you rigged it!

[@christopherortiz8713]

Great video. Do you place a knot above the slip bobber according to the depth you want to fish. Example the knot two ft above bobber so you can fish two ft below in water?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Yes, you can either use a yarn slip stop or a rubber bobber stop. I placed the stop about 4ft above my jig in this video

[@glennmartin8949]

Can you tell me how you determine what color jig you use on a certain day? Thanks !!

[@michaelmoore8183]

New subscriber here!! Question, can I used a regular red/white bobber to fish with a jig? And what would you recommend how far down the jig should be from the bobber? Thanks

[@FloppingCrappie]

Red and white bobbers will work. The depth of the bobber will depend on how deep you are fishing. I'd recommend keeping the jig atleast a couple feet off bottom

[@NelietotājaKungs]

Can u help im new to bober fishing when the bober the fish drag it when i pull no fish come out

[@pocketchange1871]

Would this work with other bigger fish

[@SundayBackyardFarmer]

Great Video 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Gotobecrazy]

What size jig head are you using? I fish a pretty shallow lake I don't like going more then 1/16 oz . Also do you think the lure matters on the jig, do you have a preference like the tubes, grubs and minnows plastics? Today I nailed some nice Crappie, Bass, Bluegills trying out the Berkeley power shad on the 1/16 oz jig head.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I prefer the 1/16oz jighead with a minnow plastic.

[@Gotobecrazy]

@@FloppingCrappie Cool. Instead of the typical slip bobber that I use, used a simple weighted bobber (no extra tackle) with the jig head about 18-24in depending on the section of the lake. Using 6lb Berkeley Fireline and mainly Mr. Crappie Thunder plastic tube. Caught about 30 Crappie, 2 bass, 15 Sunnies within 4 hours of fishing time today. Not bad

[@teamskunkonly2763]

New to crappie fishing. What kind of plastics do you recommend?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Both Eurotackle.net and crappiemonster.com make great plastics

[@denhaire]

Do you not have “Active Captain” with your LiveScope? Makes taking a video so easy to insert in your KZbin videos. Enjoy your videos alot even though your water is always cooler and environment a bit different. Your techniques are useful. Dennis on Lake Austin

[@FloppingCrappie]

I have used active captain in other videos with my Garmin GPSMAP units. However I was preparing this boat for sale during the filming of this video, which is why I only had echomap units on the boat. Unfortunately, Garmin Echomap units do not allow you to record livescope screen. I bought a new boat last week and just finished installing all the electronics, so I'll be using active captain in future videos with the new boat.

[@denhaire]

I generally don’t keep the minimum size of 10” in Texas. I only keep 11” or better.

[@FloppingCrappie]

The lake I fished in the video did not have a minimum size, mostly because there are a lot or 8-10" crappie in it

[@bryantshelton5351]

How do i order your product

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked 🙏🤩👍🙂

[@AlphaNaturalHealth]

Would have been nice if you would have explained/showed how you setup your rig for us newbies. I saw you flip the jig around and tie a loop in the line but more detail would have been helpful.

Your audio is only coming out of the left channel fyi

Thanks, I started using a new wireless mic last month...still working out the bugs

Something tells me you can "Eyeball" nine inches pretty easily. But, you are right people like to see it to believe it.

Not sure where the English stops but they are crappie not croppie

[@FloppingCrappie]

Unless you live in the southeast, they are called " croppie" everywhere else
