How To Find Crappie Under Bridges in Winter

that was very nice of you :) letting him look at the livescope . And if we all could respect each other like this the world would be a wonderful place . God bless

@@HookCityTV I'm going down to douglas lake in TN , this week your welcome aboard! It's slab time down there. P.S. happy Easter! Jesus is 👑

[@rwp2418]

You are a. Very fortunate man to be able to spend all that time with your father I envy you!

[@HookCityTV]

I thank the Lord all the time for the time he is allowing us

[@pipeliner345]

Gotta love dad living life. I just really love that you have dad as your first mate. I can't take my dad fishing anymore. He's just too old and can't see. It's killing him that he can't see/ experience livescope. He would have loved it! He loves hearing my excitement in my stories. The height of his day is waiting for his fishing report.

[@HookCityTV]

Thanks man. What a blessing it is to still have your Dad around. Keep giving him those fishing reports! Tight lines

[@darnellhill1349]

Hook City, I really enjoy watching your videos, the love and respect you have for your dad. I have been primarily a minnow fisherman all my life and will turn 66 tomorrow and I have got to get pass the mentality of that strategy and start using jigs. Help!!😊

[@jerryhudson6426]

I really like the way you explain your electronics and how your catching fish excellent video I'm a ol country boy from Ohio

[@tmccull98]

Bro, I really appreciate not only the videos but the old school schooling you do. Each one Teach one!

[@flippinghouse]

always cool to see you interact with viewers. Keep on them.

[@CalvinJoubertFishing]

Its great to see you and your pops, my dad past in September. So I've been bank fishing in his honor in memory of him. Awesome vid bro. Pastor Calvin Joubert Jr

[@HookCityTV]

Rip! Thanks for the support and God bless you man

[@paulwinborne2913]

Love your videos. As an Alabama native I grew up crappie fishing with my grandparents. Your video reminds me of a better time in life. God bless you and yours

[@HookCityTV]

God bless you man... Glad my videos bring back great memories!

I can tolerate the cold weather with that many fish in the live well.

Keep bringing in them BBC,and those corn meal models Ken you and Dad are awesome 👏

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

You are so blessed to be able to fish with your father. I am happy for you, yet envious. My father died last summer, and I didn't even get a chance to meet him. I guess it wasn't meant to be. He died a rich fool. I'd rather die a poor disabled combat veteran with many comrades. Shalom aleichem

[@HookCityTV]

God bless you man. Thanks for watching

[@williemay514]

nice KEN&HOOK CITY on catching those corn meal models keep the vids coming

[@od_green]

You are absolutely right about trusting your electronics. I mounted my side scan transducer on my trolling motor and it has been a game changer for me, it's not live like the livescope but it's enough to keep me on fish.

[@HookCityTV]

It's nothing like the livescope but side imaging technology is in the lead like livescope is. It an effective tool that is unmatched in it's own right

[@davidf4831]

Hey guys it's David. The guy in the video that met yall. That was a good day. I thought I caught 18 but it was 21. I would have stayed a little longer if I had known to get my limit. U are right about electronics. I always scan first and it puts lots more in the boat than I ever did before getting a good scanner

[@HookCityTV]

NICE BREAKDOWN ON HOW TO TACKLE BRIDGE COLUMNS WITH YOUR ELECTRONICS..#CRAPPIE-SQUAD..

[@flintville]

That’s how y’all do it fishing ken!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Time on those electronics is the key..... Finding structure and structure with fish on it for sure fills the live well..... Good info and some nice catches..... Stay At'um.....

[@brycepeters6163]

Learned a few things thanks

[@HookCityTV]

Amen! Thats what I like to hear. Thanks for watching!

[@shanebarrett5827]

Awesome video as usual. Keep em coming.

[@samthompson1270]

Yet another great video Ken. You and Daddy put a whoopin on em that day. You're absolutely right about the electronics. But, it's only 19 degrees up here in the NW (pole) of MO, so I'm waiting for just a little warmer temps. May be doing some ice fishing before long. LOL

[@HookCityTV]

Warmer temps for ice fishing. Lol.... I really had my heart set on trying the ice this year. Not so sure about it now that it's time. Lol

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Good tips on electronics. Fully Agree on what you say. I like Livescope for almost everything, but I do not always use it at the bridge. When trolling I find that I spend too much time doing stuff I should not do like looking at the graph. Great fish and great video as always!

[@HookCityTV]

I believe side imaging is just as important as livescope. For different reasons of course. But I wouldnt want to go fishing without either pieces on my boat

[@dorienriddick3312]

I love the growth of this channel the editing and the formatting I am a subscribed family member and I love what I see happening...Thanks for the content and keep up the good work (SLAB LIFE) for ever!!!! You can use that if you want fishing Ken if you dont have it lol....✌🏽

[@gerardreed613]

I prefer side imaging with the down imaging as well. What's the point in having down imaging and can't see off to the side. Bridge jigging is always plus because of the concrete structure and bait fish. Great info as usual. Thanks.

Nice work fam!

[@lovejoy1230]

I see you now have a flexible handle for the livescope, do you prefer the flexible one or the solid one that I saw in your vertical jigging in flooded trees video with Davis. Also, which mount is do you have? did you have to mount it on the outside of the trolling motor shaft away from your graphs? Would love to see a video showing your mount and handle, detailing what you like and dislike about that setup.

[@HookCityTV]

I love the hydraulic hose i use now to turn it. Its a much smoother turn than the original. The mount comes from "Low Pro Rod Rack" and can be found on fb. And yes the video will be coming! Thanks for watching...

[@HookCityTV]

Take your time bro. I felt the same way last month. I worked from Dec 17. Clear through last tuesday. I hadn't fished and developed the shakes. Lol. On top of that both trips I struggled but was still able to squeeze a video out of the trip.

Ken, I live in the Philadelphia area, don't have a boat, so the majority of my (unsuccessful) crappie fishing is by land. I love catching Slabs, but they are few in between. Any suggestions, aside from moving to a different state?

[@HookCityTV]

I dont have any experience in your area. Alot of good bank fishing happens during the spring and winter months close to the bank. Id learn patters of fish in your area. Watch facebook crappie groups and even websites that target crappie fishing in your area

[@earnest6]

Why 12ft rod underneath the bridge? Wouldn't the shorter rod be better, just asking

[@HookCityTV]

We fished some trees this trip too. I did a little scouting and a little fun fishing. They were within hands reach and I didnt feel like digging out the shorter rod. But yes I prefer a 8-10 foot pole under bridges

[@jaymuzick3950]

How far from right to left do you have your side scan set on your humminbird?

[@HookCityTV]

when scanning bridge columns 30-45 ft is all you need and thats a lot

[@terrygrasty4371]

Those guys with all the electronics she's going to cause me a divorce LOL

[@renbinzheng9683]

nice video ! you guys looks use 10 feet rod?

[@HookCityTV]

under bridges we normally use 7'6 -10 ft rods. In this video we had the 12 footers out and just kept using them.

[@Whoresonjones8182]

Hook city TV what up, any advice on fishing fast flowing water for crappie?

[@HookCityTV]

You want to look for slack water. Usually where a lot of debris is collecting near the fast flowing water. Or anywhere the flow of water changes direction. We call them breaks

[@Whoresonjones8182]

@@HookCityTV yea sir thank you I enjoy the vids great insight.

[@JstnW]

Cool video. Why don't you put them straight into a cooler of ice?

WELCOME TO THE CITY! We appreciate the support. Here in north Texas we dont do much ricer fishing. I'm absolutely surrounded by lakes. I would think a lot of what I share could be applied to river fishing as well. I'll definitely keep you on mind if I get a chance to fish a river one day
