CRUSH CRAPPIE WITH KILLER LONG LINE JIGS

Brad's got his better half with him on this one! He and his wife, April, are going to show you guys how you can spend quality time and catch a mess of fish on Beautiful Eagle Lake in Vicksburg, MS.

Beautiful day with family and Crappie in the livewell. It doesn't get any better. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@crappieconnection]

You bet

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

With the heavier jig above the lighter jig doesn't it get tangled when you cast?

[@crappieconnection]

Don’t have a problem with it

[@joeeubanks9970]

What type of rods do you like to use for long lining?

[@crappieconnection]

Thank you

[@williewilson8244]

Can you do a video on fishing edicts and very basic common fishing laws number of poles hookrefs bait regulations (in general) I am coming out of Wa. State and they have impossible fishing laws. One pole one hook barbless and sing hook lures no bait no attractant just insane stuff. Love to see

[@crappieconnection]

Great suggestion!

[@mitchward111]

Good video! How deep were baits running with 1/8 and 1/32 combination?

[@crappieconnection]

That setup running 8-10’

[@jasonbyrd5521]

Love love love this one Brad!! It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone enjoying the outdoors, and not staring at a screen the whole time! Keep doing what you do!!

[@crappieconnection]

Thank you 🙏

Hey Brad. You talk about long lining at speeds of 1 to 2 mph. I have a 55lb Minn Kota on a 190TX Tracker. On a flat water day I might get 1.1 mph. Any input on upgrading my motor with more thrust and raise the mph? I contacted MinnKota and all I got was here are the charts for thrust per weight of the boat. I don't want to spend 3k on a new motor and not get the long line speed I want of 1 to 2 mph. Can anyone help?

[@crappieconnection]

1.1 to 1.2 are pretty close to the same. I do have one idea Mount one Minn Kota 40lb trolling motors on the back to give you more speed Probably cost ya $200 or so to do that

[@crazyvlogs7547]

Any specific reason you like the heavier jig on top of the double rig? Seems you’d get more depth separation with the heavier jig on the bottom. Thanks for the great informative videos

[@crappieconnection]

I do it both ways Just let the Crappie decide which one they like. Agreed on the different depths with heavier on bottom

[@crazyvlogs7547]

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve always put the heavier on the bottom of my double rigs and like you caught 90% on the bottom. I think I’ll experiment with heavier on top on half the poles next time out and see what works best. In winter, I’m only trolling 7-8 fow in central FL shallow pan lakes. In summer, 12-15 fow lakes.

[@crappieconnection]

@crazyvlogs7547 you probably pull mainly 1/32 & 1/16

[@crazyvlogs7547]

I’ve been molding ponyheads with holes for scent. My heavy is between 1/16 and 1/8 (closer to 1/16) and light is between 1/48 and 1/32(closer to 1/32).

[@davehorn1422]

Excellent video, so nice seeing people not stare at a screen. Really enjoyed it.

[@crappieconnection]

Appreciate it

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Great show brad i love the scope but man its great to see the old ways still to... love it 👍

[@crappieconnection]

It’s good to have sometime on the water without the Livescope on

[@jerrycurtis7625]

Making me want to get some rod holders and long pole to pull some baits and relax.

[@crappieconnection]

Yes exactly

[@davidjewell9197]

Good video and good to see you fishing with you wife, I love fishing with mine as well

[@crappieconnection]

Thanks 👍

[@j.christopherhickman2060]

Looks like all my rods are to stiff and all my line is to big . Went to flint creek res yesterday . Trying to crappie fish . Not a bite . Talked to a man (mike) he was leaving , had a limit .I hope I figure it out one day ..don’t have a run itself trolling motor . Good video .

[@crappieconnection]

Those are factors to consider. 6lb mono is definitely a great all around size for Crappie. Especially long lining jigs.

[@DanielWhite-om7cx]

Looks like y’all had a great day!! Good information for someone starting to long line

[@crappieconnection]

Yes it was!I’

[@perrypotter1640]

Thx Brad! Love lining!!

[@crappieconnection]

Yes 👍 💯 Thank you for the Support!!!

[@davidtreichler8036]

Fun times on the water.

[@crappieconnection]

Yes Indeed

[@kevenroberts1584]

Brad great video. I see that Suki on the back of that ranger.. look forward to our next trip..

[@crappieconnection]

For sure!!
