This whole shot of KZbin fishing videos has been the best educator I could have ever found. Going after multi species, picking the brains of that specific specie fisherman, sorting the chaff from the grain, and having little groups assembled like you guys discussing all the mistakes you've made gets everyone thinking. Really enjoy these types of fishing discussions. Keep up the fantastic work. In the long run, it won't cost you anything and it will pay with more clients coming to you for all your honesty.

I fished with Jerry a few years ago and learned so much. He taught me so much stuff that I didn't even know he was teaching me until later. All I can say is go with a reputable guide and pay attention to what they say and do. I went with Jerry to learn first and catch fish second. Best money I ever spent!

Couldn’t agree more on your comment about boats/ equipment purchases. When I went to purchase a new boat a couple years ago my dealer talked me down to a 17’ from originally looking at a 20’ model based on what I typically fish for. Couldn’t be happier with that decision. Left more room for some extras and I don’t have something that is too big for some favorite lakes.

When I first got Livescope I struggled trying to use it because I would try using it and fish at the same time. I left my poles at home and only hit the water with Livescope. I learned more in 1hr than I had learned in 8hrs trying to use livescope and fish at the same time.

Moved to the Rez and we've started crappie fishing but only have down imaging as of now. We've spent tons of hours marking structures and piles then using buoy markers to fish them. Bobbers, minnows, jigs, long lining you name it from changing colors to changing depths we've done it all or at least have been trying. Is it possible that we are spooking them too much when trolling over them to mark the pile and thats the main reason for not catching them? I can see them stacked on structure but can't get them to bite. Also is it possible that I'm not marking the piles or structures correctly? Thanks and appreciate all the help so far!
@crappieconnection
@crappieconnection Жыл бұрын
They get really spooky in the summer especially with light or no wind. Might to stay 20-30 feet away. Might try not throw a buoy marker close to the pile either. Down sizing bite is a big key as well. Check out Ms outdoors tonight at 7:30 I filmed a show last June casting to them

I grew up mostly hunting with very little fishing. When I did fish it was mostly in a farm pond. Now I want to catch crappie in large lakes on a river system in Alabama. I get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the water and have no idea where to start to just find crappie. What suggestions do you have for me on where to start on an 18 mile long lake? How do I find fish? TIA
@crappieconnection
@crappieconnection Жыл бұрын
Is there a map of the contours of the lake? Time to explore and look for brush piles or create your own. Look for any types of points where there is steep contours Get to know your electronics they will find everything you need to know about the lake.
