[@rougaroux2359]

I just have to say to y’all that watch these videos that if ya don’t see the life lessons he’s a teaching us rewatch till ya get it. What a true blessing this channel has been to me.

[@finaloption...]

The day of this video will stay with me forever. I was blessed with the chance to finally express my thanks and love to Richard Gene in person for all that he and momma Sue do for all of us. Standing there catching Crappie because of what I learned from the man, while thinking of him and he pulls right up in front of me! Best day EVER!! Thank you Richard!

[@floridasaltlife]

[@gillgetter3004]

Almost all the docks up here in Michigan are floating docks. I still fish under them skipping or shooting. There’s just less areas to do it because the pontoons or styrofoam blocks. If you do find an old fashioned post dock it can be a honey hole for crappie!!👍

[@iancameron198]

What part of Michigan you in

[@cmorris1611]

Richard, sir, your spirit is a true blessing to all of us!

[@richardkeith6822]

Love your videos because you explain the method to your madness! I always learn from your channel! God bless you and your family stay safe!👍

[@billsutorius2753]

WHOA ! WHOA ! I'M FIRED UP TOO 💯 👍 🎣 AWESOME VID RICHARD!!!

[@davidconner7947]

I learn a lot watching you fish and enjoy doing it, too. God bless you, too.

[@AttorneyBailey]

Thanks!

[@JonBecker81]

Richard, I took my Kayak up to your neck of the woods on Weiss yesterday for my birthday. I skipped docks (well really just cast under them) and didn’t catch a single crappie. Either I just suck or the fish didn’t get the memo that it was my birthday. Probably the first option. I fished from the bottom to the top of the water column and hit about 8 different docks (you can only go so far with a kayak). I even saw shad. I changed colors and tried with a loop knot and a regular knot. This just makes me want to try even harder. Crappie fishing is new to me and I’m not giving up.

[@m17glock35]

when the crappie are slow counting down the lure is critical . 90% of my crappie are caught watching the line stop before its supposed to hit bottom.

[@JonBecker81]

@@m17glock35 I felt a couple tiny bites but obviously didn’t get them. I don’t know if they were crappie or blue gill. Also my jig head might have been too heavy but it was all in 11-14 ft of water.

[@m17glock35]

@@JonBecker81 1/32 jig head with a bobby garland is about a 1 foot per second sink rate (give or take ) . watch that line ! if it stops before its supposed to hit bottom set the hook! most of the time you wont see a twitch or feel even a nibble when crappie are in this kind of mood .

[@706KayakFishing]

^^ This! I switched to a 1/32 oz and used this method 2 weeks ago on some stumps that I knew should be holding crappie. Had the best day crappie fishing I've ever had! Over 15 fish! When the bite slowed, I changed colors and angle, fished that same stump for 4 hours and had a blast. I also switched up between bobby garlands and crappie magnets, caught fish on both.

[@JonBecker81]

@@m17glock35 I just went and looked. I was using 1/16 heads with Bobby Garlands. So I’m guessing those fall about 2ft every second. These docks were in about 13 ft of water. I just ordered some 1/32 and I’m going to go back up there Saturday and try again. I was on the same lake Richard is on in this video. It kind of even looks like the same spot but I’m not sure. Good info here, thanks.

[@ryancantrell6480]

I love the true genuine excitement you display with every fish!!! I love fishing also but when I cant to get out to a body of water I feel like Im in the boat with you sir!! Thank you and God Bless!

[@johnvillarreal2844]

we saw you at the boat ramp at yellow creek after shooting this video on Wednesday. you suggested fishing docks. we caught a few... which was more than we caught all morning. love the videos!

[@angelito972]

Richard gene the fishing machine I think you should make a crappie catch and cook sir! We would absolutely love it👍🏽

[@markwybierala4936]

Your video production is excellent. Don’t change a damn thing. Even your music is great. You get me all fired up to bother my adult son and get him to go fishin with me. He never says no but then I don’t push too hard or too often. Fishing is the best and words get exchanged that make life wonderful.

[@jonahlawrence6204]

[@joelbuff3254]

Thanks for showing how to tie that weed guard! I tie them on all my jigs now. I love maribou jigs and chenille/ rubber but I leave some bare for plastic. I love being able to throw them with confidence. Thanks for all the great tips Richard!

[@williamboyd776]

Thanks for all the great opinions Richard Gene. By employing your technique advice I caught 5 keepers yesterday n 3 the day before that. His advice works folks not only on his videos but in applying them yourself!!!

Richard, I like learning fishing from basically two people that produce online, you and Gene Jenson (flutemaster). You guys are natural teachers. Thats a rare talent that many just do not measure. Thank you for taking us fishing with you and sharing your valuable secrets. It amazes me how you know your fish patterns. You have improved my fishing. Im looking to buy a house on Guntersville. Hope to meet you sometime.

Richard Gene the GOAT

[@victortuten4399]

I wish we had a few dock on pylons. Ours are on encapsulated floats. They put the darned things so close together you really can't cast between them. Can barely get by them on some of the larger docks in the area either.

[@catfishassassination3821]

So glad it's crappie time with the machine made my day seeing this always learn something

[@rustyrooster3997]

Can you tell us what model and length of boat you use. Thanks , love the channel from Tennessee

I like that little lightweight rod you're using. What kind of gear are you running here? I'm interested in the rod mostly.

[@Jshogan1943]

Enjoy your tips. thanks for sharing

[@soccerfiend03]

Great video, Richard!! Bursal says to stop fishing on his dock. He doesn't own the house above the dock, he is more of a troll that sits below the dock. But seriously, God Bless you and Mama Sue!

[@angelcintron2122]

Hi Richard, thank you for sharing your fishing experience and expertise. I have a question Sir. I sometimes just go fishing when my fishing app says it's supposed to be a good fishing day, but I've seen that some people go every single day, and catch fish. I'd like to know what you feel about those apps. Thank you for putting out these videos, and give Mama Sue a great Big hug and a kiss from me. :-)

[@garyc8208]

Fishing apps are very spotty. Need to go when you want. I used Tides for Fishing saltwater app for a while and it 90% of the time WRONG.

[@Gstar5150]

Just fish bridges with a slip bobber and worms, it's a very high percentage way to fish, no fish can say no to a juicy Nightcrawler. Or make a sabiki rig and tip it with worms or crappie nibbles it's also a very effective way to fish bridges.

[@angelcintron2122]

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question. Take care and stay safe.

[@sunleonardo5946]

It is all about temperature and lighting conditions. 2-3 days of rising temperatures above 50 is good for pre-spawn. Don't shy away from cloudy days. A bit of wind is also good since waves create shadows underwater.

[@d.moutdoors4377]

I checked a couple of other videos they have audio when u came back to this 1 there's not any sound idk if it's the video or on my end for this video but great job on the slabs

[@TheTennfisher]

Thanks for another great video Richard.

[@jamesrutter8843]

May I ask you a question sir, If the dock owner said sir, please my dock. no fishing, how would you respond?

[@davidsorrells736]

Any thoughts on painted or unpainted jig heads?

[@mikehughes3313]

Love your videos. Please don’t stop sharing brother gotta get me a shirt

[@handcannon1388]

Richard, do you dress all your crappie jigs with plastics, or do you use hair jigs as well?

[@garagegarage]

Hey Richard, member at time you went to the flyrod shop and you was uh castin' that flyrod and you said, "I'll be catchin' bass with this flyrod afore you know it!" Well, I'd shore love to see that in a video. Really would thare ole' Elmer!

[@timjones6637]

Question, does crappie hang out mostly with Sunbream?

[@timothywalker8674]

I’m trying to learn how to fish with jigs. They sell plenty of Bobby Garlin jigs at our local Walmart. Looks like the crappie starts moving in the inlets earlier in the north Alabama lakes than down here at the south Alabama lakes. People are catching them at night in the inlets using minnows. Lake Eufaula. I’m not being patient enough with the gigs lake you’re talking about. A lot of the docks in the inlets are floating docks but a lot of stationary docks are near and in the main lake.
