SHANK 1 thank you! Thank you for watching as well.

Awesome Video

[@MHB48615]

I fished on Lake Marion in a large cyprus bay right across the lake from Pack’s Landing one spring. It was a long time ago. The bay was packed with boats fishing for shellcracker in the shallow water. EVERYBODY was catching fish. They seemed to come through in waves. My buddy and I did this for two days. Any of you folks ever heard of ‘tennis elbow’? Well, I got ‘shellcracker elbow’. It’s a real thing., lol.

Nice been down before long time ago always loved the view and nature and caught fish

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

Never heard of a shell cracker awesome video

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Nicholas Pouliot Outdoors man they are some fighters for their size, also they taste very similar to crappie if you have had those! Thanks for watching!

Shane Barrett it’s crazy what we got planned for it! Thank you for watching!

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Ronald Moon thank you for watching. Hopefully my videos have kept you entertained while you have been off the water!

[@ronaldmoon8444]

Yes they have helped. @@ClearWaterCrappie

[@ncsandman8468]

Great video... got to get back down there and try for panfish.... only been for catfish so far but have heard there’s some good crappie and shellckrakers in there

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

NC Sandman it is probably one of the best shell cracker fisheries in the world. I love fishing down there. I have done my share of catfishing in santee as well!

[@jonpogue427]

Those are nice ones!!!!!

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Jon Pogue yeah they were pretty good. We really wanted to break the 2lb mark but never succeeded! Thank you for watching!

[@fishersofmeni.c.m9382]

Good evening. Do you do any guide service for spellchecker and crappie and if so how much?

[@davidtreichler5616]

Will be looking for the video of dipping crappie

[@wesleyhughes363]

Enjoyed video. Good explanation of bait and techniques used. As far as finding location of bed(s)/locations fished. Did you'll just know where you were going to fish based on previous knowledge or did you use electronics- side imaging or something else to locate beds/fish before deciding where to stop and fish? Looking forward to upcoming Panoptix (presumably Livescope) video(s).

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Wesley Hughes we try to go 2 or 3 times a year, we always catch shellcracker somewhere. But we actually stumbled upon this bed just this year. It was over 2 acres big. We found them just by casting around. No electronics were used. Thank you for watching and yes garmin panoptix livescope is the next video!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Y'all got on some gooderns..... I'll be doing a trip for'um soon.... Stay At'um....

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

SK's CRAPPIE Catchn Adventures thank you sir! Look forward to a new video of yours!

[@rbjb0822]

Where did you put in at. Im a newbie 😌

[@benjaminalvarado3391]

Watched this video several times and my little boy loves it. Has asked me to take him in which we do live by the lower lake but not to familiar with any spots on the upper lake. Was wondering maybe if you could help us out on the location y’all were catching those fish in that video? Thanks

[@larryhobbs8769]

Oh yeah. What landing did y’all put in at?

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Larry Hobbs we used Carolina kings marina, stump hole, and low falls. During the video we used stump hole! Thanks for watching!

[@ericosborne1851]

Yall do any guiding?

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

How did you know to cast out there? You drove past many good looking places to end up where you fished?

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

David Daigrepont honestly just fishing for them year after year knowing their spawning grounds and actually smelling them. Thanks for watching!

[@TheEddins1]

Marion or Moultrie?

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

This was Marion!!

[@kendrickglover1282]

Hey I love this video make some more I am from Santee SC which part of lake Marion ya'll was at

[@mac4782]

I enjoyed the video 👍 you just got a new sub.

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Tyron Davis I appreciate that and thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@larryhobbs8769]

Did y’all catch any crAppies? Whitey Oulaw has a KZbin video out on catching crAppies in June July and August jigging trees in about 8’ of water in the upper lake

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Larry Hobbs yes actually we did not that many however. First time we have ever “dipped” trees and blow downs. We gonna try again in June!

[@elvispressley702]

If you and release,just stay home

[@brianlee4483]

How do you find where shellcrackers are bedding ?

[@jimfox7728]

Did you find the beds using you side imaging?

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Jim Fox yes! But I will say you can smell them way before you see them on side imaging. Thanks for watching!

[@mitchhook8868]

Calling bucks Hens that's already layed out

[@tommycameron1174]

Enjoyed your video. We'll be at lake Marion 4/26/2020. This will be my first time to fish this lake the reason we're coming is catch shellcrackers . Will be Driveing from ark. Any advise u could give me would be appreciated. Thanks have good day. We will try catching crappie too.

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Tommy Cameron I will be there then too! You will have to look for me. Start at Stumphole landing, or low falls landing or even packs landing. I would honestly trust your nose and odd as it seems. If you can smell them, good chance they are really close. If it is your first time be REALLY careful. These lakes are notorious for messing peoples boats up if you don’t know the lake. If you are unsure, just idle. Shellcracker prefer red worms over crickets! Good luck!

[@tommycameron1174]

Clear Water Crappie thank you

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Tommy Cameron no problem my man!

[@richardgray2837]

Missing those crappie videos, let's get to posting! hehehehe

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Richard Gray haha I’m ready to make another crappie video. Don’t worry crappie fishing will still dominate this channel! Thanks for watching!

[@MP-cx2rh]

Does anyone in the fishing community understand that if you going to make a go pro video to set up with the sun to your back. If you lucky enough to have a friend with you have him video while you fish. Trust me you well get many more veiws and twice the subscribers.

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

I appreciate you watching, but I don’t determine the camera angles. Boat control to me is the most important thing to catching fish, so technically the fish dictate the camera angle! Thanks again for watching!

[@MP-cx2rh]

@@ClearWaterCrappie understood...where there is a will there is a way.

[@greggwilliamson1800]

The fish are just there, your bait sucks. I caught some on Lake Murray yesterday like them.

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

Gregg Williamson Hey bo thanks for watching!

[@benhanley9881]

Why does the Mexican guy not talk?

[@ClearWaterCrappie]

I don’t know he won’t talk to me either.. it’s either he camera shy or he doesn’t know English...
