This channel is going to blow up big time. Not only do you fish, you show tips and techniques which is the best of both worlds. Thanks for the tips.

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother I appreciate it!!

Your videos are amazing! everytime I watch them, I'm excited to get back out there! I was on Arcadia lake bank fishing for about 3hrs and got skunk, I'm trying this out tomorrow!! Thank you

[@bellamarie617]

Thank you! Im just learning how to fish for crappie and this is one of the first vids ive watched and i feel like i learned a lot. definitely more confident in my abilities now. Youre a G

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thank you and good luck out there!!

[@BerthaMusic1]

I saw a couple of your videos but.....WOW this Crappie 101 turned me into a SUBSCRIBER - I have NEVER seen anyone so accurate and such great content. I fish in the Florida, Tampa Bay area - gulf and fresh water. (I'm the one with dark hair) ! ! I am also a real estate broker and instructor and "I truly recommend your video" to anyone serious about fishing. Your teaching skills are very professional, very clear and soft pace for anyone to follow. You've got a BIG FAN here. I fish from piers, docks, and I wade in skinny water. My preferred species are Mangrove Snappers, Sheepheads, Reds - Blue Gills and Crappies. TK YOU for your time & love your work ! !

[@southernsalt]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!

[@andreasnestoros7657]

You had a really good point in ther that I was thinking it didn’t know how to articulate with “ you want to be as subtle as the conditions of the water will allow” I feel like that applies to all fishing

[@robinrobinson8123]

The BEST Crappie Vid I've ever seen....This Guy knows his stuff!!! Thank u,

This channel is going to blow up. Basic Crappie fishing techniques. This is what we need!!!

[@southernsalt]

I hope you’re right lol

[@RT-zt4xx]

The best Crappie 101 video I've seen. Very detailed...Good Job S.S.!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks, I appreciate it!!

[@maxcole3930]

I mostly fish for largemouth & striper but I will fish for crappie if I come across them. I just finally added electronics to my kayak after 9yrs. So I've been finding them a lot more lately. Just recently got access to small private lake that no one fishes in. It's packed fun of 14-25" crappie

[@livingend]

These were actually really helpful tips! Thank you!

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thank you

[@bryanrawls8895]

What I know about fishing for crappie in the south is.... you can catch them on just about anything. Dont waste your money on dumb shit. Minnow and a hook is all you need.

[@cbreeze5279]

Thank you so much. Very informative.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!

[@bfriendly100]

Would like to have seen you rig them on a rod. Good info though. Loop knot? Cinch? Upside down tail or not, bobber? I’m sure there is a presentation video, I just figured it’d have been part of a 101 video…..I’ll look for that one. Tight lines!

[@richardberentson8832]

Great information Easy to listen to and follow along Thank you

awesome information again I love this channel

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@lakesluresandmore2475]

I enjoy your channel and watch as many episodes as possible. I'm a professional fisherman and specialize in crappie. Don't forget about jigs with a light wire hook that are easy to pull off hangups without breaking off. Thanks

[@southernsalt]

Definitely, thanks!!

[@outdoorsadrenaline]

Great tips thanks!

[@dadude9619]

Hi! Great explanation - I love seeing your YT channel grow and grow. Just as an idea for another vid: If you have a certain water condition, also sun makes an influence - therefore (and I am sure you do), you could explain how you select lure colors e.g. "clear water and sun" vs. "clear water and cloudy". Keep fishing!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man I might do that one on the next trip out

[@treelynn1533]

Have you tried a squid tail? They're good for KS pond crappie and caught a white bass on it at Lake of the Ozarks.

[@motomoto8080]

This is the best crappie vid hands down.i got my mojo back..🔥🔥🔥a🐟bishwish!!!keep them lines tight knights!!!!!

Nice Crappie fishing

[@jeffreyarnold2929]

Great information sir. The crappie are hitting good where I fish in Pennsylvania. Time for a trip to Bass Pro to gear up.

[@southernsalt]

[@koreywilliams4570]

I have a couple soft plastics and some jig heads and I think a couple small idk I think there spoons, no idea how to use em tho. I mostly fish for bass and catfish.

[@everythinginlife6155]

great video man loved it very informational but what motion do you want to do with your rod when fishing these jigs

[@southernsalt]

Very light twitches

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

I was having great success yesterday catching small bass and big blue gill with a brown natural colored Hellgrammite and a black 1/16th jighead, with slightly murky water and dark skies they sure found it easily.

[@southernsalt]

Nice!

Good stuff,.. I've only fished for crappie as a youngster, with a cane pole and a bucket of minnows. Now I know the jigs...thanks ...and your first louisianna red fish was a beast.. congratulations!

Awesome and thanks!!

[@FreshwaterSouL]

Better to throw small than big so they dont get spooked and see what they want👌.Great video and information

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!!

[@codybertram6122]

If you want a cheap option with a super sharp and longer hook than the moon eye, check out Kalins crappie jigs. Wire keeper and comes in different colors and sizes and much cheaper than the vmc but also lighter. I throw the vmc when it’s windy and I need a little more weight.

[@southernsalt]

I’ll check those out thanks!

[@jesusbanuelos8]

I know this might be a dumb question but what jig set up should I use or what does anyone use on Quick moving water?

[@southernsalt]

I don’t target crappie in moving water but I would go with a heavier jig until you find the size that gets your lure down to the depth you need it to be.

[@SketchybrainD]

I love catching crappie, I only do well on a handful of lakes though. No where near the level of the guys that really know crappie. Years ago a guy showed me a trick, he caught one and pulled a piece off of it and it kinda looked like a frog in the water. Can’t remember what he did exactly.

[@kapkhual-le9lf]

Where can i get thoes jigs?

[@py6403]

Pretty good info, what about how to reel in using crappie jigs?

[@southernsalt]

There should be some good info on that on my other crappie videos. There’s a whole playlist dedicated to crappie fishing

[@py6403]

@@southernsalt alright I'll look into it thanks

[@maxcole3930]

If you could only have 2 weights for jig heads which would you choose 1/32 & 1/16?

[@southernsalt]

Yep those 2 sizes exactly

[@nissadragon3493]

Hey Southern, Ive got a question for further clarification; so I'm new to fishing this is about to be my fourth run out and I'm looking at bass, crappie, and bluegill. Where specifically do I find the crappie at? Towards the shore in the lake? In deep grass? Etc... I'd really appreciate some ideas, thanks!

[@southernsalt]

This time of year they will be moving to shallow water to spawn look for structure in 6 feet or less.

[@nissadragon3493]

@@southernsalt thank you very much! I got one lure for them currently; hopefully I can catch one. Lol

[@deadkiyote4072]

Do i need to add a scent or bait to jigs and lures? Or can i just toss them right in the water?

[@southernsalt]

I don’t use scent at all so it’s definitely not something you have to have.

[@deadkiyote4072]

@@southernsalt oh, awesome. Thank you!

[@breamhook]

Can you go a step further and show me how to put the hook in and do I cast it out and reel it in quickly? Or do I cast it out and let it sit, then reel it in slowly? Thanks for the tips.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

I love me some crappie fishing! Do you ever troll for them?

[@southernsalt]

I don’t troll but mainly because I’m in a kayak and it’s a little tougher

[@Tanner-yc5rv]

I need to know where to find some crappie in northwest Florida panhandle I'm from Oklahoma and I Miss my 2lb and up crappie but I just need to know where I can get into some crappie please please someone help me out

[@user-du4by1gt4k]

I don't know how to put my hook through the crappie jig it looks wrong every different way I try and I can't find a single video that shows someone pitting the hook through the jig

[@southernsalt]

I’ll put something together for you. Look out for my next crappie video

So throw a White color? Cool, cool!

[@volkanbekdas]

I've had other BPM baits kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

[@totalannihilation9065]

I caught a crappie by accident and I'm hooked. Pun intended.

[@NoleYakin]

They also slay tarpon

[@southernsalt]

Never tried that but I can see where the micro tarpons would be all over them

[@danmorgan7651]

I think you need to have closeups on your jigs. Too hard to see them otherwise.
