How to catch Big Bluegill on Crappie Nibbles - Beginner Bank Fishing

[@ghayes2135]

Fun day! Despite the weather. I like your keep it real videos-no annoying music. Real sounds. Being in a wheelchair, I am not able to get to my old fishing spots. Your videos allow me to feel like I’m there with you! Thanks Alex!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for coming along

[@jramsouer]

I love when you say you’re happy to have him on the show

[@ClarkdeBear]

For small fish, I love how Bluegill fight.

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

The location change was the ticket. You taught this old dog a new trick. I've never tried those for bluegills. I'm going to have to remember that when I want to catch a few bluegills for bait. I always have a couple jars of those in my tackle box.

[@PastorPeewee20]

Who doesn't love big bluegill! Great video!

[@RealisticFishing]

I do I do!

[@tommyg.6977]

I believe that I'm going to go fishing after work today. Bluegill sounds good to chase.

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck!

[@donellis6469]

Loved when your were crashing thru tree branches and dog started barking and you turned and said I am fishing here lol keep the fishing videos coming.

[@jorgen.zamora]

For more than a year my bass maniac friends made me underestimate how fun it was to fish for bluegill. And just a week ago I learned it can be fun and satisfying.

[@thewhiskyscout1238]

This was my first video from your channel, thoroughly enjoyed it! I gauge the character of a fisherman by the enjoyment found in catching bluegill or sunfish in general. If you cannot enjoy that your priorities are different than mine. You sir pass muster in flying colors!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

I remember where I came from. 😎

[@southernohiofishing3109]

@@RealisticFishing if you ever go catfishing, use 3-5 inch bluegill. Blues DEVOUR them. (any pan fish that size will work.) Expect 10+ pounds.

[@michaelacurtis4660]

When the bass bite slows at my local lake, I go to the crappie jigs and nibbles from Walmart and start catching bluegill and yellow perch. Love the videos. Randy

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Randy Michaela Curtis 👍

[@samhaskins7889]

Uncle Steve used to catch bluegills on crappie nibbles to. I liked that old guys show,

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too 👍

[@jaycoin1647]

You have got to bring some of those bluegills home for dinner. They have a great flavor, fish taco time.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Good looking Gills there! Love those colors.🐟

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too!

[@dylant4737]

Those bluegills are starting to get their color! Nice ones too 👊🏻

[@conohanfamily]

Your videos are relaxing with everything going on in the world right now. I got out fishing for a bit this morning. Didn't catch anything, but it felt good to be out. Keep the videos coming!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Those were some dandy Blue Gill. I haven't ran into Crappie nibbles before, interesting. They certainly work.

[@sjones7400]

Suddenly...I needs me some crappie nibbles. Nice ‘gills and another fun vid. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dylant4737]

Those Crappie Nibbles really do a great scent dispersion in the water, I use them for bait bluegills on an ice fishing rod

[@mr_b22]

Great day full of jumbo bluegills. They love their nibbles.

[@RealisticFishing]

Delicious!

[@bonzogoTrump]

You caught a nice skillet full of freah fish. Yum yum

[@RealisticFishing]

yum

[@kevintebo3736]

You are the jumbo king. Love it.

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

Good call with the spot change. Alot of folks will fish a single spot, not catch anything, and think that the fish just aren't biting. Those crappie nibbles sure did the trick. Magnum bluegill brother, awesome stuff!!

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

honestly I've only used crappie nibbles for panfish since i watched a video months ago. they are fantastic!

[@RealisticFishing]

They like em! 👍

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

I used to use crappie nibbles and tiny tube jigs. Transitioned to Gulp Maggots a few years ago. Seem to stay on the hook better, and less messy for me. The nibbles did work well though! Nice looking Bluegills!

[@RealisticFishing]

Its the powder sugar donut of fishing 😄

[@MarcPipistrello]

Same here. I still use both the nibbles and maggots alternately.

[@davidguidi8737]

Dinner and fishing nothing is better then that great catches alex

[@skyeyeimages]

Your bluegill bank fishing videos are the best on KZbin!

Hi I'm a new subscriber and I really like your show I've been watching it for a long time and I just happened to see some old videos that you made and that you got some deals on some bitsy minnows well I use them a lot I troll for crappie and bluegill and I have a dozen or more of those different colored bitsy minnows and I catch a lot of crap East just thought I'd let you know try them sometime if you if you want to when maybe when you go out in your boat try trolling them keep it up

Those nibbles were working for you. Another fun video.

[@Ratz_vr-1]

Love some bluegill fishing !! Which when iam asked what kind of fish do you fish for .I say the ones that have a mouth .Keep up the good work.

Your fishing videos are amazing, Congratulations this lake has beautiful fish. Hug!!!👍🎣

[@timadams3975]

Nice! I bought a pack of Magic bait nibbles over the weekend. They looked like a good bluegill bait so I got them. Cant wait to try them out.

[@FatBoyDan]

Crappie Nibbles works great early season.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its a great little bait 👍

[@chaitern6075]

usually put 2 crappie nibbles on a jig when im bobber fishing for crappie it works on slow sloow days

[@RealisticFishing]

a little extra incentive

[@chaitern6075]

@@RealisticFishing yep especially on those really slow calm days with no breeze where u can just sit and relax with a beer, cus its so slow lol

[@RobBassMaster]

Totally agree... be willing to move if the fish are not biting. Definitely pain for you to move my friend! Blessings! 🎣👊🏼

[@RealisticFishing]

Gotta move! 👍

[@LPWDLLC_MobileDetailing]

I have had some good luck with the pink/green ones. Going to have to try those next!

[@massachusettsprepper]

It looks like those crappie nibbles worked out pretty good at the second location. Just goes to show you you can catch fish in less than ideal situations. Thanks for sharing brother.

[@backintofishing6716]

As I'm sure you recall, this rig has worked for me so many times. First fish this year on it.

[@bennysmith78]

I love using Beatle spins for bluegill. You can slay em on those

[@fishmant.v.6012]

Loving the videos man!!! So glad TK and RVO told me about you!!!

[@XsospoonX]

I think you said one of the smartest most basic things but makes so much sense about moving if you’re not catching anything. There are times where I’ve waited two hours in one spot in my family is going crazy because we’re not catching anything. Why not just move to another location. Even though sometimes when your family is with you it’s quite a chore LOL. But great points all around! Sidenote for some reason I thought you were saying Crappie Nipples 🤣🤪

[@RealisticFishing]

nipples 😅

[@lupiaan2021]

Gorgeous fish!

I had great luck last year using Berkley Gulp minnows of various sizes. Just hook them behind their ‘dorsal fin’ and use them like the crappie nibbles.

[@gavinmgraham]

Been on these for a few years. Always carry hot pink and chartreuse, but pink hits better. I’ve never been skunked using these.

[@JerseyJoel]

Those are some jumbo Gills alright....the big ones are definitely biting right now!!

[@MarcPipistrello]

Big fan of the crappie nibbles. It's like a mini chum slick. They work great on the tenkara fly rod setup. They fall off after a while, but more productive than not. For me, the white and beige work best.

[@RealisticFishing]

They like the nibbles. I usually catch something before they dissolve, but even then it leaves good scent in the water. 👍

[@farstrider79]

Nice! I've had a jar in my bag for a while, just hadn't put it on a hook. Been too busy not catching Bass 🙄🙂

[@ArchAngler314]

Thanks again for another great vid man! I have yet to catch any panfish on this setup. I've been using round bobbers. Do you recommend the cigar shaped bobbers over the round ones?

[@garydirks8223]

I could use a day like that. Getting severe fishing fever lately.

[@ricardopinckney7030]

Have 8 cans different colors my go to.... with a red worm, blue worm or baby night crawler on the hook same time tiped with a gulp wax worm to keep everything on hook. Killer panfish getter!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

huh?

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

"man that wind and rain picking up FISH" LOL

[@FishingWithBIGD]

One of my favorite things to do Bluegill fish , not sure if you have tried it before or not ? but you can take a Trout magnet I think the 1/64 oz size and a pack of Gulp minnows the small 2 inch ones Smelt or chartreuse color and float them about 1 foot or 2 foot under a float or Slip float they absolute love it here in my area southwest Virginia ... give it try Im sure you would love it

[@RealisticFishing]

Yes I have done a video about Gulp minnow and Trout magnet jig head. I actually prefer a plain J hook 😅

[@FishingWithBIGD]

@@RealisticFishing , Ill have to try that , probably a little cheaper per rig

[@RealisticFishing]

@@FishingWithBIGD way cheaper 👍

[@j.l.anderson2509]

Have you found a difference between the Berkley crappie nibbles and the Magic Bait brand as far as fish catching? Perhaps do a head to head to see which is better.

[@RealisticFishing]

Haven't tried those other brands really. I will see if I have some.

[@j.l.anderson2509]

I've got some Magic Bait crappie nibbles in neon yellow and white thus far not had much luck on either. Perhaps I should investigate the Berkley line. Do like Berkley gulp crawlers and worms.

[@theangleraquarist]

Awesome video, could you try to fish the weightless trick worm? Keep it realistic 🎣😀

[@RealisticFishing]

Once the bass come shallow again I will

[@roberthall9525]

Love your video’s 👍

[@broshfishingandadventures4386]

thats right....if fish aint biting change spot where the fish are.....basic set up float weight and hook plus live earthworms for me ehe.....what's the biggest bluegil ever caught.....great video as always man.......thank you

[@private2371]

I enjoyed this video

[@RobertxJenks]

catching bluegill like that on a micro ultra light are fun, kinda like catching a big bass

[@sgtpavlov]

Nice, some people put those things inside of small tube baits.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right 👍

[@MegaTechno2000]

Just leave the cap off the container overnight, and the crappie nibbles will toughen up, and get a little rubbery and stay on much better.

[@RealisticFishing]

These are a bit older and already chewy, but this is a good tip. 👍

[@johndeno1071]

Nice big gills for sure, who knew they liked powered sugar donut? My issue is I never think about just leaving and going to another spot, guess I need to be more Realistic...LOL

[@oldschoolbassman4590]

When the bass aren't biting, the little gills save the day.

[@outragequitter5027]

You had the makings for a nice fish fry there

[@JimmyPlato1]

Great video. Is it possible that Crappie Nibbles are just as good or even better than worms for bait????
