How to use Side imaging to find Pre spawn crappie (Bull Shoals Lake ep. 1)

[@GAFisherman]

True dedication. Fishing from an ice covered deck. Glad you didn't fall in. Know you're happy to be on soft water again. Thanks for the side scan lesson.

[@mikewalters4994]

Thanks for another GREAT video. I have just started Crappie fishing. I mostly Bass Fished and Bream fished most of my life. But, I'm really getting into Crappie fishing. I've got a Camper spot reserved April 2 until April 16 at Millers Ferry Alabama. It's gonna be 2 weeks of Crappie fishing in one of Alabama's best Crappie Fishing Lakes on the Alabama River. I've learned so must from you about Crappie Fishing. Thanks for making these Videos for us Rookie Crappie fishing. Please keep these great videos coming. I'm gonna be spending a lot of time this Spring, Summer and Fall on Millers Ferry. Thanks Again! Mike

My parents used to live in Mountain Home AR, wish I'd had my boat back then. Nice video

[@russelljones2468]

Thanks for sharing. We moved last year and bought a good side scan Garmin. I’ve had trouble trying to figure out where to find fish. I never used side scan until this year. Helpful stuff

[@jimschmitz4821]

Outstanding video as usual! thanks for sharing.

Welcome to my neck of the woods! I love to call Bull Shoals home

[@saelee33]

Keep them crappie videos coming.. LOVE it!

[@Tatorhead1234]

How are the fish that far off to the side popping out on sidescan so well?? I can only see the fish directly inder me? What color are you using??

[@jcnopenny4725]

The scope mount looks great. Couldn't find it in the description

[@FloppingCrappie]

It's called a sealite fishducer 2.0

[@fishon8732]

Do you have a link to it?

[@robertlocke5427]

Dreaming of the day I can get out on 47° water back here in Wisconsin. Long lining works for me. It is nice to understand what the fish are doing with the side scan.

[@FloppingCrappie]

It will be nice to put the boat on some lakes once the ice melts.

[@cliffordgurley4882]

Good morning I find your videos very informative, I am in the market for a live scope system from Garmin. I am just a casual fisherman and 66 years old so I would like a 10” screen. What system would you recommend a 1022,1042 or 106sv primarily just for live scope. Thanks for your help Clifford!

[@FloppingCrappie]

If you're only using the screen for Livescope, I would recommend the 1022 bit.ly/3DecLzf . If you want mapping as well, get the 1042XSV bit.ly/3iFYGRD

[@cliffordgurley4882]

So looking at the 1022 and 1042 do they both record on active captain and do they both use mapping I’m trying to the biggest bang for my buck. Thanks

[@FloppingCrappie]

@@cliffordgurley4882 the both record on active captain. Only the 1042XSV has mapping

[@kingdomcustomures]

Do you use perspective at all? Or just forward view for hunting open water?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Mostly forward view. This year my goal is to get more comfortable with perspective mode during the spawn.

[@kingdomcustomures]

@@FloppingCrappie if I can get a pay raise I’ll just buy a second LS unit and run both! 😂

[@brianzultowski5451]

With those Crappie suspended 5-10 ft in 20+ foot water, can you still just press the touch screen to set a waypoint for where they are at, or does that suspension make the waypoint off from where they really are? Just got my 73SV in the mail today, can't wait to play with the Sidevue

[@FloppingCrappie]

It does change the location slightly, but if you throw a waypoint on a school it will still get you within casting distance.

[@sandmanjdl966]

What are the lines on sidescan in the water column on the left side of the image? I have that on the right side of my image and can't figure it out.

[@Ognatureboy]

Great video man right to the point 🤙🏾

[@thomasfrazier77]

I saw that you had a weight about 10" or so above your jig. Is that to get the jig down in the water column faster or to pick it up better on the live scope? Or both?

[@FloppingCrappie]

It was used more for getting the jig down the crappie. These schools were on the move, so getting the jig down fast was the only way to get a bite.

[@thomasfrazier77]

@@FloppingCrappie gotcha. Thanks for the response back.

[@jevy567]

what are the settings on the units for the 93sv mine is never this clear. has to be something im doing wrong im new to fish finders. i have the 56 aswell

[@FloppingCrappie]

I'm planning on doing a video about this today. Hoping to post it by Friday

[@stanleycole4096]

How do you determine the difference from forward vs down with the sonar?

[@danielharder9085]

How fast was you going when looking for fish on sideview?

[@FloppingCrappie]

2-4mph

[@ericortiz794]

How are you keeping your outboard safe in that weather?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Just jeep the lower unit trimmed down, in this case we left the boat in the water with the lower unit down. This helps prevent freezing.

[@saelee33]

What brand of line is that green one?

[@FloppingCrappie]

I was using slimeline monofilament

[@magic2066]

pro vid. thx for sharing.

[@alanmoon9275]

What kind on line do use for casting

[@FloppingCrappie]

6lb mono

[@922crappiebbq8]

Good tips

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks for watching
