HEAVY Cover CRAPPIE | VERTICAL JIGGING

Always keep an open mind to your options when crappie fishing. Especially on days when the bite is not so good. After a slow morning, I find a fallen tree that is loaded with SLABS. It presents a challenge in that I can not cast into the tree because it is like a jungle. That's when it's time to bring out the LONG POLE and a vertical presentation.

My absolute favorite way to fish for crappie. Exactly what I picture in my mind when someone mentions crappie fishing.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

There is just something about dropping it right on their face and the bend of that long pole. Tight lines 🎣

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Now thats.a great crappie vid 👍

[@GordonPettieFishing]

Thanks. Sometimes, the best ones just happen and are not planned. 🎣

Love fishing laydowns in our local river here...the Ouachita river! Good fishing brother!!!

[@GordonPettieFishing]

That was pretty fun pulling those suckers out of that top. Thanks for watching 🎣

[@2005Pilot]

You near Monroe?

[@randyadams3449]

@@2005Pilot yes sir

[@lyndonkitts2269]

I like that triton life jacket you’ve got they are hard to find

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I had a TRITON before I had this boat. The jackets matched the red and black in my Skeeter so I kept them. 🎣🎣

[@brandonyeager4217]

I was there last Thursday, caught some nice ones as well....caught most couple hundred yards from the ramp..biggest was 2.47

[@GordonPettieFishing]

This was earlier in the week. I was there Thursday as well. They bit much better Thursday. I didn't have any huge ones on Thursday, but I did Friday. That 2.47 was a STUD. Good catch. 🎣

[@brandonyeager4217]

@GordonPettieFishing yes sir! You had some nice ones as well sir! I almost had the limit but wind got crazy so I came on home

[@dronevideography4340]

Thanks so much for the video great ideas. Learned a lot.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

You are welcome. Tight lines 🎣

[@Chris1980436]

I verticle jig with a ACC GS13SG. An awesome rod imo. I love that rod.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I got it last year for Christmas and I really like it. They are very light, balanced well, and have a ton of back bone. You can fish it all day in comfort. Thanks for watching. 🎣

[@Chris1980436]

Likewise! I got mine last year for Christmas as well. I have a Shimano reel on mine with 6lb Crappie Maxx.

[@michaelferik8060]

Thanks sir for the excellent vid. Using a long pole to vertical fish is one of my favorite ways to pursue them. I have a LVS34/1022 combo on my boat and it really is amazing to see the reactions of the fish to the bait. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they don't.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I appreciate it. It sure is fun catching them that way. I have really come to like the long pole over the last year, as I never used to use one. It definitely opens up another way of catching them. It sure is amazing how many never bite but will follow or track for many feet. Thanks for watching 🎣

[@jeremybryant403]

Was that a hair jig you were using and does it have a spinner on it thanks for the video

[@GordonPettieFishing]

Yes, it was a hair jig. No spinner. 👍

[@resacarebel1868]

Is that Tims Ford ? Looks familiar but unsure

[@GordonPettieFishing]

Yes, Tims Ford. Tight lines 🎣

[@bobscott6991]

Fun stuff! Being an out of stater, would you mind sharing what ramp you went out of?

[@GordonPettieFishing]

Devil's Step Ramp. It is pretty much mid lake and at the beginning of the river part of Tims Ford. Thanks for watching and good luck if you come down 🎣

[@jacksaloman9513]

Have you ever had your ACC rods break on you?

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I haven't. I have a few different models. I'm not sponsored by them, by the way. I have had rods break before, both crappie and bass rods. Most of the time, rod breakage is due to abuse of some type, (all brands). High sticking, stepping on them, and causing a weak spot, closing lids on them and causing a weak spot, etc. The rod usually breaks a few trips later, and we don't remember that we stepped on it or high sticked that fish a few trips ago. Thanks for watching. 🎣

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

What model are those. Crappie stick(both)

[@GordonPettieFishing]

GS66M 6'6" 2 piece and GS12SG CROSSOVER by ACC CRAPPIE STIX Tight lines 🎣

[@kevinstrickland6401]

Never seen so many magnolia, black nose or in Texas we call em stripes.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

In Tennessee, the TWRA raises them in Hatcheries across the State. They stock them on a yearly basis as needed on all of my local lakes. Usually 50 to 100,000 fingerlings at a time. They do very well and grow fairly quickly. They are very aggressive, which makes them very fun. Tight lines 🎣

[@kevinstrickland6401]

We catch just a few a year in North Texas and they rarely make the 10" mark.

[@MidwestOutlaw86]

Lay-ins are producers.

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I've caught a ton of fish over the years on lay-ins on that lake. That tree will get easier to fish in a few years. Thanks for watching 🎣

[@rogersmith9547]

What launch did you put in at Tim's ford

[@GordonPettieFishing]

In the fall and winter, I use Devil's Step because of the draw down. Tight lines 🎣

[@randyadams3449]

Got mr thinking about using 10# line when doing that style fishing. Heck....it would help if I'd go fishing....I've had the bow bug bite me for some reason. Stacey...im sorry buddy....I'll do better

[@GordonPettieFishing]

One of my buddies that long.poles pretty often uses 10. Braid might be even better if fishing in trees like I was in this video. I used to have that bug as well. Bow season was always my favorite.

[@2005Pilot]

Nice Job!!! Is that LiveScope 34?

[@GordonPettieFishing]

I appreciate it. No, it's the original 32 LVS. Still does a good job for my needs. Thanks for watching 🎣

[@outlawcrocker4321]

There's nothing like feeling the thump when they bite

[@GordonPettieFishing]

That's probably the best part of the catch. When you feel that THUMP! 🎣
