How to troll for crappie with jig rods the easy way

[@grc7231]

Excellent video. I am recently retired and live near Dale Hollow Lake in TN. I plan to start crappie fishing. I have been surfing KZbin on the subject of spider fishing... and... Yours is the most informative and helpful video I have found. Thank you so much. Truly, thank you.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thank you so much! It is a privilege to be able to pass on what we learn

[@MacNorowl]

This is the video I’ve been looking for. I grew up fishing Clark’s Hill lake in SC (I refuse to call it Lake Thurmond) and married a gal who eventually inherited her family place so for 30 years I knew all the spots. Life change at 55, and I now live on Lake Hartwell and have just gotten into long lining here. You provided many tips I’ll use for sure. God Bless!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thank you so much! Best of luck to you getting on those SC crappie!

[@nathantoro3351]

Thank you for explaining the knots!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Glad it was helpful!

Great video. Longline trolling has been my preferred method for years. I’m a youth pastor in east TN

[@octaviofuentes7781]

Great video thanks for sharing my man

[@phillipmullis7904]

Good info one thing that changed my fishing was a remote control GPS trolling motor.

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

That’s was great I’m new to crappie but trolled the Great Lakes for years now I’m in the south and plan to crappie fish

[@glennwebster4822]

enjoyed watching your video, hope you do great with your channel, i grew up crappie fishing at night using minnows under lights, thats all i knew, fishing buddy of mine asked me to go crappie fishing with him and i said sure, got my minnow bucket and rod, he ask me why did i bring a minnow bucket , he did stop at the bait store and let me buy some minnows, but he used crappie jigs, i could not believe how many fish he caught on jigs, i have not bought any more minnows, trolling jigs is a fun way to fish, it does not cost an arm and a leg to do it and it is a great way to catch em year round

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks, I appreciate your support!

[@russellstewart5414]

You have to love that Mr Crappie high vis line. There are a lot of bright green line on the market but for me it’s just better. Smooth as silk and never seems to set a coil on the reel. And a good value for the money

[@danbarosh2942]

Great Speaker clear common sense Info...i'm impressed...Thank You

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thank you sir!

[@flockqueen]

Great video! We catfish out of Virginia but are curious about crappie fishing. This was very informative.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks, hopefully it helped! Best of luck and tight lines!

[@TheALBIECHASER]

Nice of you to make the time to make this video, i use a stop knot at 100 feet up the line, for trolling, Im in Raleigh, i fish for them all year, night stalk in the summer, throw jigs in the spring, drop shot when their deep an holding on structure, so many fun ways to catch these great eating fish, Fished Falls Lake for over 25 years, Happy Holidays. you ever head north and fish Kerr Lake? catch your diner of monster Crappie then go play with the Stripers,

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Kerr sounds like fun, I have never tried it- I really enjoy crappie and striper fishing, two of my favorites for sure

[@davehaas6830]

Good stuff thanks for sharing

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Glad to be of help! Not a genius at it, still learning, but having fun along the way lol

[@garyharry2350]

Great job alot 9f info. Thank you

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jmrose60]

Very informative! Well done sir. Thank you!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@michaelj8067]

Thanks for the advice, learned a lot. Never really fished this way before. Can I use different size jigs on the same line say 1/32 and 1/16 or do they all need to be the same size? Also you mentioned either putting a weight on the line or changing out the jig. If I choose to change out the jig do I have to go back through the entire process with the line or is there another way of doing it for a quick change out? mj

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Sure, you can use different size jig on the same line. You’ll just have to guesstimate your depth. As far as quick change out, I don’t know any great way to do it other than just cut off your old jig and tie a new one on

[@michaelj8067]

@@brilliantfishingnc Thanks next time I go out, I'm going to try this technique. I fish normally on Lake Guntersville in Alabama. I will try to get a screen shot for you. There's a certain area where the fish year round are on a 25ft deep rock ledge that covers a lot of area. Normally boats are just sitting; I'm going to try this technique in hopes of drawing the fish out to me. (:

[@TexasKen]

Good video! Thank you sir!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

What time of the year is best for long line trolling? Are certain weather conditions more favorable?

[@brilliantfishingnc]

You could ll troll anytime, but I would say spring is best, followed by fall and winter. Summer, in my opinion is not very productive. At least on my home lakes, in summer, fish go deep on brush which makes trolling hard.

[@DavidTitus-f1l]

Good video, do you ever tip your jigs with minnows

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Sometimes, yes especially if the bite is slow

[@davidadams5736]

Enjoyed the video,it was very informative.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks!

[@shanewolfe6912]

Does your home lake develop a thermocline in the summer?

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Yes

[@ronalddills4566]

Good video, a lot of information. I live in Asheboro. Fish Jordan lake a lot

[@jeffkerr4249]

Thanks

[@CrappieStudent]

I too am a pastor in North Carolina. I fish High Rock some. It is a a two hour drive for me from Crouse. I also troll. Any recommendations as to where to troll on High Rock, it is a large lake.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

It really depends on the time of year. In the spring you want to troll the creeks but in fall and winter, lots of times the main channel is good

[@DieterMelhorn]

Informative video!! You deserve more subscribers. Be nice to catfish!!! LOL!! I subscribed and hit the bell!!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Hey thanks so much! I appreciate it! Love your videos- my son and I enjoy watching them together

[@DieterMelhorn]

@@brilliantfishingnc thanks for watching. I'm digging your content. Your thumbnails show you're putting in the effort to getting seen!! Nicely done!!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

@@DieterMelhorn thanks again! Would love to touch base w you at some point and get any suggestions/tips you might have!

[@ronniewetherington509]

Good video. Where are you located and fish? I noticed the Neuse Sports Shop shirt. I lived in New Bern area for 60 years and now live in Mount Gilead NC nearl lake Tillery.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

I live near Salisbury NC. I get ‘down east’ about once a year and love stopping by the Neuse!

[@Manbunmen65]

I fish a kayak with no fish finder and between 2 to 4 rods. Another tactic is adding bobbers to your line when trolling. You can troll slow, troll shallow, or troll deep but maintain your baits shallow if you want.

[@NettingwithNick]

Nice tips sir

[@damonlee5222]

Amen Pastor, great video. Praise the Lord.

[@haroldbrett367]

Great job explaining how to troll.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks!

[@misunderstoodtruth1253]

hey, do you mind sending me a copy of your depth chart? I would really appreciate it

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Email me at [e-mail] and I’ll reply to you with the chart

[@nathantoro3351]

We love to long line troll talquin!

[@LetsCrappieFish]

You should look into Stren high viz gold original 4 # line. That's what I troll with. Excellent line. Also, instead of Road Runner heads, look up Grenada Lake Tackle.
