If you guys come back you need to read Lake O Pines Crappie winter regulations. You have to retain all you catch. Nice video....And welcome to Texas.

[@FloppingCrappie]

This video series was filmed the last week of October before winter regulations went into effect.

Heard you say we dont have white crappie in wisconsin. We definitely do have white crappie up here in wisconsin..

[@FloppingCrappie]

We do, but the vast majority of of crappie caught are black crappie. I've only seen pictures of white crappie being caught on the larger river systems ,( Mississippi, st.croix, Wisconsin)

Yes, they grow 'em big in Texas, haha. Thanks for watching!

[@williamhunter1959]

Nice Slabs! How do you tie your double jig setup?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Simple loop knot for the top jig, then either another loop knot for the bottom jig or an improved clinch knot (aka fisherman's knot).

[@williamhunter1959]

@@FloppingCrappie so how long shoul the top loop knot be?

[@scottcozart8950]

What do you do for a living. Lol. Besides fish. Great show buddy.

[@scottcozart8950]

@@FloppingCrappie well had a blast with live scope. Is it best to have it on down view to see your jig. I could not see it when it was pointing out. And if i point it straight at a bruch pile. I had to turn it kinda sideways to see jig. It takes getting use to. But man it is wild to see crappie on brush with this thing. I scanned under some pontoons at a marina. And crappie were all under them. But had lock jaw. Going again here in a bit. Have a great day.

[@petegrigsby8975]

Great Video! What color jigs you using?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Silver body with a chartreuse tail

It depends if I can find those northern black crappie ice fishing.. I'm planning a few mini vacations in February to some warmer states though

[@clarkholton461]

@@FloppingCrappie I would say come down and fish Sam Rayburn, but there is no way I can put you on fish as large as those Lake of the Pines ones.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I enjoy traveling to lake I've have never fished before. I've heard Rayburn is legendary for giant bass too! It is on my bucket list for sure!

Lol looks like they giving u a little of a hard time but that’s country boys around here

[@luidcyber6063]

its fun in anvegenr

[@Lee-sc7fh]

The crappie fishing is great on Lake of The Pines. This past weekend you could count over a hundred boats from the dam, and its that way most every weekend. I love watching these videos but they not good for the lake. I have seen it fished down and take years to recover.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I've heard that winter time crappie fishing can be a mad house on this lake near the dam. I know that some will not like videos promoting a lake, but it does help the local guide(s). Thanks for watching!

[@ronaldclower1530]

Oh, careful! Dec 1st through Jan 31 TPWL Laws on the Pines and Lake Fork require you to keep all crappie you land no matter size. Hefty fines. Read the rule book before you go.

[@FloppingCrappie]

This was filmed the last week of October.

[@ronaldclower1530]

Good to hear. Dem boyz don't play. Welcome to Texas.

[@lakeothepinesfishingguidel8692]

That law is dumb. Let the big ones go anyway. They live just fine.

[@ronaldclower1530]

The problem is most don't know how to release a fish from 27 to 30 ft. A gentle toss will not work. Like a scuba divers coming up bloats their bladder, they float and die. They make a decompression needle but I've found if you rare back and throw them hard against the water it scares them and they bolt down. Past a certain depth they decompress on their own. On lakes without this law I've seen a trail of dead undersized fish floating because they don't meet state limit and folks just lightly flip em back. Not my law but for that reason makes sense. Safe fishing y'all.

[@kaholsted1]

Ronald Clower it’s actually Dec 1st through the last day of February on LOP

[@Lee-sc7fh]

Its against the law to turn back any size crappie from December to February on Lake of The Pines
