Pre-fishing Planning: Using Contour Maps for Crappie Success (Episode 18)

I love it when a plan comes together! In this episode, we discuss the importance of planning and using contour maps to develop those plans. Then, we put our plan to the test on the water to find a limit of crappie in challenging conditions.

@@bomyers24 That’s awesome! Hope to put some beds out on Friday and do a little fishing. Nothing like fresh fish on the table and in the freezer!

Thanks for the knowledge i gonna try it love your videos

Thanks for watching! You can spend hours in the maps. I cut a lot out like looking for channel bends on the main lake to find flats where whole trees often settle. Also, on most lakes, people have a preferred level for dropping beds so you can just search that contour line to find beds.

@@tensixvas4020 like your setup! Is that a Humminbird 597 at the console? I used to have one at mine until I got the Garmin. Gave it to my brother. Like the cutting board used on the mount and that table! Thought about making a table for mine for when I do a catch and cook on the boat. Nothing like fresh crappie while on the water!

[@tensixvas4020]

Yes sir its a 597 had it for years and the table i just mounted to a seat base so everything works on my seat post. Thank you for commenting it makes my day

@@tensixvas4020 what lakes you fish? I’m mostly on Fort Loudon and Tellico in East Tn. I see you all do some camping. We have a small camper (Clipper Cadet) and have a trip planned when school lets out on the lake. Hopefully will have some fishing camping videos out of the trip.
