[@drdavewi]

Thanks Kyle! I appreciate your lessons.

[@mattwaltenberg6722]

Awesome video. That look like a lot fun. Keep up the great work

[@michaelhutchison2754]

Great vid Kyle, Man that'd be a great lake to drag a small beetle spin and hammer those craps.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Oh, you bet I’ve caught them that way too. They love it!

[@randy2058]

Great Video!! Thank you for showing your settings! I have SI and I can never really see anything I can make out on it. Can't wait to get out there and check my settings and try some more.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

There ya go!! Hopefully this helps!

[@livinforthelord]

[@sarahschowalter5828]

Now I’m craving some cheese its. 😅 Great video!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Haha find some! Thanks for watching!!

[@emersonprey3029]

What size xrap were you running? 6 or 8?

[@eyre1720]

Great video. At 5:07 when you saw the crappies, you caught them off the right side According to that Side Image though wouldn’t they be behind you a little more behind you?

[@tonyparsley641]

How do I send you a picture of my crappie.

[@jimmy2thymes916]

If you don't mind me asking, when did you film this? I was just up north last weekend and decided not to fish because of the weird weather. clearly, I should have gone out!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

I think on the 13th

[@robbiewinton4187]

Cool!!

❤️🎣

[@mikemikovsky3112]

why didn't you keep some for a fish fry Kyle ?

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

I’m on the water at least four days a week pretty much have a fish fry anytime. lol don’t need to keep them all

[@tieoneon1614]

I switched to crappie fishing a few years ago in WI cuz I got tired of how Yuppy the walleye fishing got. Seeing people with $80k boats, side imaging, Livescope....who possess zero fishing skill just spend more $ and ask people how to catch them. Aarrggh...Anyway its been rewarding with my little swimbaits and cheapo 2D graph actually learning where crappie are in the summer, and why. Not many people around here know how to so after the spawn I have them to myself. This past week they were just under surface, all over the lake chasing mayflie and damsel fly larvae.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Right on! I hear ya!

[@PrimalFlamesPCE]

Aren’t pike (and to a lesser degree muskie) the biggest problem with this technique though? Especially since you're throwing a bigger lure out. I know there’s ways around their teeth but it doesn’t help with catching crappie.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

I only caught one small pike doing this. I made a really far to shore cast and got a snake. However since the crappies are suspended you’ll get less pike

[@PrimalFlamesPCE]

​@@Wisconsin_Fisherman fair point, I suppose it depends on the lakes you fish too.

[@tieoneon1614]

I had that problem this past weekend. Any fast moving lure would get destroyed by hammer handle pike. Wasnt a complete fix, but using small 2" swimbait fished as slow as possible prevented most nuisance pike and also got a few bull bluegill doing that.

[@PrimalFlamesPCE]

@tieoneon1614 Yeah it's kind of hard to avoid the little hammerhandles when everything is keying in on weed edges in May, (at least in the shallower WI lakes.) I've thrown out 3/4 inch tube jigs on bobbers that have been hit by pike.
