Crappie In Open Water, How To Catch Them, Lake Monticello

[@ronaldcarteret7298]

I sure am glad you got you a tub to put your fish in. You seem more relaxed than having to walk back to the livewell every time you catch a fish. Keep the videos coming. I never miss a one.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Yes, thanks

[@Mikeypaulslingshots]

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Totally agree! I truly love it.

[@davonne225]

Old fisherman enjoying his new toy, styling and profiling with his Vexus cap to match his boat and giving those stubborn crappie what they want. Can't wait to go this weekend. We finally got some nice weather in Louisiana with the sun coming out but its been windy hopefully its not too much wind this weekend.

How's Murray doing...was coming down this weekend from tenn

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I have not been on Murray lately

[@terrymiller5468]

Old fisherman I really injoy watching your videos, but I ask what kind of go pro you use I’m thanking about getting one hopefully you can help me out thank you for your time

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I have a GoPro 7 on my chest because it has the best sound, On my high camera set up I use a GoPro 9 and in front of the console I use a GoPro 5.

[@terrymiller5468]

@@theoldfisherman2040 thank you for your help my name is Terry Miller I live near Wappappello lake in Williamsville Missouri, we don’t have the crappies here on are lake as you do just like watching you and Richard Gene maybe you to can get to go again like the day you guys went together, i’m surprised that you read my message you have so many and I know that takes time I’m 66 years old. I had to retire because of arthritis two years ago I lost my wife she crossed over to be with the Lord she had Parkinson’s, that was a bad thing, I’ve been trying to pull myself together and your shows help. I must say it’s very hard to live on Social Security. I was a truck driver over the road for 42 years and when my wife passed away, we were forced to sell most of her belongings so now I’m trying to get back into fishing and hunting I do have health problems, but I don’t think they’ll stop me from fishing and hunting once again thank you for your time it meant a lot to me.

[@aceboogiecrappieking1]

where do you have your camera mounted on the red boat

[@theoldfisherman2040]

One on my chest and one in front the console and one midway back on a pole mounted on the rod box.

[@travishague7423]

which trolling motor do you prefer between red boat/blue boat? what would you get if you had your druthers?

[@theoldfisherman2040]

The blue boat trolling motor is 12 volts 55 lb, the red boat trolling motor is a 80 lb 24 volts it has lot's more power, but the 12 volt worked ok in the blue boat. Lot's more power with the new trolling motor.

[@travishague7423]

@@theoldfisherman2040 gotcha, I have a 16’ jon boat the 12 volt probably be fine im thinking. time for an upgrade im tired of that foot control.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

You right

[@dominicmenefield410]

Two at a time...what the way to go. What do you think about your new boat? Really like the color!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I love my new boat.

[@jamesrutter8843]

Do you have more confidence using Livescope than reg sonar, how shallow can you use livescope. you sure do help my Pa Cabin Fever.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

For crappie fishing live scope is hard to beat, simply because you can stay off the fish and not spook them as easy.

[@aceboogiecrappieking1]

you'll see me one day at Lake Murray my name is willie johnson

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching Willie.

[@thaddeusmiles4675]

I want to come fish with you because it’s hard for me catching crappie and I’m from Sc

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Watch my videos and learn how.

[@shamelessfishing5435]

Which Garmin unit, size, are you using with the livescope?

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Livescope 10 I think with a 9inch screen

[@jamesbaskins6351]

Why would you keep all those females?

[@ronaldbrailey1503]

Love the new boat, KEEP FISHING!!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend, as long as I can get in and out the boat I will keep fishing.

What is the daily limit for crappie?

20

[@RCL1]

Man these rains have really muddied it up .

[@theoldfisherman2040]

It sure has.

[@Kevin-ew2qb]

By rod tip looks like a ugly stik. What's ur opinion of it? Thanks for sharing!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

My kind of fishing I prefer lighter rods than a ugly stick.

[@jeffreylankford6240]

Nice Boat hate your other boat got hit and messed up I know your wife got it for you and it mint a lot to you but at least god seen fit for u to get another one enjoy your vedios keep on keepin on have a good one always keep god number one in life and he’ll be there for you

[@angelasheppard7197]

24:23 Two crappies at one time! WHAT?!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

That was nice, you gotta luv that.

[@MrSki-tyvm]

Tired of going back to the live well..... exactly why I got the new G3 Sportsman 1710 PFX model boat. It has a front live well with bait bucket and split hatch lids. This is so I don't have to walk around and just sit fish and spin on my seat.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

My friend, this boat has got a live well in the front also

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

That's called crappie sniping 👍

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for telling me that.

[@vandos11]

SLAB MAGAZINE hahahahahaha

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@celvinmitchelljr2747]

Why a bucket when you have a live well?

[@lofigaming8472]

cause hes got his ways! lol

[@theoldfisherman2040]

To hard for a old man to get them out a live well.

[@lizthewiz64]

If you watched his introduction to the New boat he explained that it was very hard for him to get the fish out...AND, he's always had a Bucket/Drum on his boat..

[@celvinmitchelljr2747]

Makes sense, by the way your my idol I want to be just like you when I retire. Fishing as much as possible. I enjoy your videos, also down the street from you in Aiken county SC.

[@bethunelm]

I knew you were going to get something to put the fish in instead of walking to the live well every time. Back to your comfort zone.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Yes, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Chuck-e7d]

Well your not an old fisherman, you're one of them new age video game fisherman.😲 Just ribbing ya. I'm just a jealous old bank fisherman and new subscriber.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I got over 900 videos without lives cope. If you don't change with the times you will be left behind my friend.
