Revealing the Best Technique for Summer Slab Crappie Fishing

Fishing for fickle summer slab crappie can be a challenge, but rewarding! After a long summer of heat and fishing pressure, big crappie can lock up or feed more at night. I'm revealing my technique for targeting slabs on artificial lures.

Binge watching your crappie vids since my recent subscription and late-in-life crappie addiction. I don't have the juice to go as much as I'd like, so your channel is the next best thing. Keep them coming!

[@cjfishtales2238]

"She ain't the prettiest but she's gonna dance " killed me lol😂😂😂

[@marisalevy8325]

Your phrasing and tongue in cheek commentary make your videos even more entertaining. 😂The fishing advice is always helpful too of course 🙌🏽🎣👊🏽

[@mac11double]

Haven’t finished watching the video yet, but if I could give one piece of advice from one livescoper to another it’s that once you’re on top of the pile like that you can back your forward distance down and everything on your screen will be bigger. I used to always keep mine at 90ft (I’m a bass fisherman mostly) but I started backing my distance down to 20-30 feet this summer fishing brush piles for bream and crappie. Trust me, try it brother👍 it’ll be easier to show us as the viewers what’s going on and way easier for you to see those slabs suck a bait down. Tight lines!

[@caseysaunders2137]

You earned every fish in this dang heat. It's brutal out there.

[@Firefoot03]

Love the crappie videos as always! Question, I just got my first kayak and I don't have the money to spend on a lot of electronics for it can you do a video on finding crappie on just kayak with maybe a depth finder?

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Interesting about that cracked guide. I'm going to check my rods. Sweet Crappies!

[@ReelFishyGuy]

Glad I’m not a crappie caught by lfg “I’m gonna fillet you so slowly” as he sniffs from lips to dorsal fin😂😂

[@bakervinci163]

He likes crappie a lot more than he shows. They are harder to catch

[@kentkelly5301]

Srill waiting for that catch and cook Drum! lol

[@gamingfun5625]

It is the best

[@Hookset717]

When you start describing your crappie gear as 10 lb test and 1/8th oz jigs it absolutely blows me away! Up north in Pennsylvania we're throwing 1/32nd oz jigs on a max of 4lb test! Man I would loveeeee to crappie fish the south. Some day 😂

[@rdonner28]

I feel your pain and anguish, 😢 but I’ve NEVER EVER heard that analogy of “jig being LICKED” once I heard it the 2nd time and figured out what you’re talking about I laughed so hard my stomach cramped 😂!!!! LOVE IT!

[@russellwittie8961]

Best combination in crappie fishing right there, pink jig and monkey milk!!!

[@devinhowell601]

Have you ever tried using a thumper when sandbass fishing? It is a great way to keep baitfish, sandbass, and other predatory fish under your boat, even on these hot Texas summer days! A guy in the DFW area made mine and it’s helped catch several sandbass limits this summer.

[@iburneasy7379]

Thanks for the tips and tricks Dad!!

[@DavidDavis-Central_FL]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

[@tylerlee5349]

I didn’t know there was such a thing as a fresh water drum. They look very similar to our black drum here in salt water in Florida

[@muskiesteve]

I had a great time watching your video. You seem like a blast to be in the boat with. Let's GO!!!!

[@WiredforCrappie]

Great fish. Lake Fork has got the crappie!

[@michaelpotts3685]

I've been fishing for bass for years, over the last year I've been doing a lot of White and Hybrid bass fishing but I want to get into Crappie fishing. Id love to see a "Beginners Guide to Crappie Fishing" type video. Like straight to the basics. Say its someone's first time going out to target crappie, what do they need to know. From set up, to knots, to lure, locations, retrieve. Something like that would be great to see. I know their are a lot of videos like this on YT but one from LFG would be cool to see.

[@daniellemay3058]

BRO!!!!!!!! FROM HERE IN SOUTH TX JUST OUT SIDE OF SAN ANTIONO , ALL FISH IN SEASON GO ON ICE FOR THE GREASE AND FREEZER!!!!! GET WITH THE PHRASE.DRUM,BASS,CRAPPIE,CAT'S THEY NEED TO GO TO THE GREASE. LOVE YOU MAN!!

[@JacksonDewitt-f7p]

You should do a catch and cook off 1 vs 1 vs 1 style dangling for the crappies

[@charlesronk2989]

Instead of the longer pole do you ever use a slip bobber for that.

[@eddyd.105]

I was in the process of saying check the guides on the rod before you caught it. Ive had this happen on my frog pole and broke off 2 times in a row found the top eye had a small piece chipped off sharp as a razor blade.

[@1albertoknot1]

Lfg the GOAT..ty for all the amazing videos full of positivity and tips and tricks God bless you brother

[@gamingfun5625]

Love the videos Ben waching i

[@bakervinci163]

Pretty crappie. I love that lake

[@Losdaman]

Mmm. Crappie. So choice. Great job.

[@galaxygoonz6303]

Haha This Boi "She ain't the prettiest..But She'll Dance"😂😂😎😁💪

[@chrisclark1326]

Come fish the red river , right below the dam on Greer’s Ferry lake in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Cold water , trout and smallmouth. Beautiful place, guided float trips are available. The little Missouri above and below lake Greeson in Arkansas is a great fishery also, they’re places I go when it’s hot and nasty , waters always cold !bringing a kayak is key .

[@Grainraiser]

I crappie fish Tawakoni alot and during the summer and many times those fish only will take a very small bait. I use 1.25 inch plastics with 4lb line to entice the bite. They want move a inch for regular size baits for whatever reason,

[@shaynemelban7444]

Night fishing for Walleye in Texas. Lake Meredith up in the Panhandle.

[@danielxiong5842]

Keep the catch and cook going

[@bakervinci163]

The key to night time crappie fishing is white lights and fishing the perimeter of your bait circle. Yea, I’ve forgotten my toater

[@EdWolfram]

Crispy collecting are my favorite videos. Anyone can bed a bass.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Actually there is some of us that can not see into the water through polarized glasses

[@EdWolfram]

@@tatertots-n-soup Why would that be? Other than being blind which would make watching a video odd.

[@EdWolfram]

@@tatertots-n-soup Anybody is a general term that means the average person. That would be an exception. Just like females can have babies is a general statement even though some can not because of medical reasons. The world runs on averages not exceptions.

[@flyfishmerc]

Summertime when they won't eat the jig, go with some crappie nibbles on there. White and silver are my favorite colors as well as pink.

[@Adjustedpriorities]

Really enjoy your videos thanks for keeping it OG.

[@patrickconnell6654]

That was a tough start, but you finally have enough for a gold crispy dinner.

[@KanokieCatfish]

You should try some flathead fillets. I think it would be a good video watching you trying to figure that one out.

[@RippinLips92]

Watching from AIT at Ft Lee. Love your videos! Wish I could fish right now. I have to phase up before I can go fishing. Soon tho, soon!

[@Lethal1160]

Man you always crack me up with some of your jokes 😂 awesome video buddy

[@mikelawler6100]

I have a working 80's Lawrence flasher I could send you for a challenge. Be a big contrast to live scope work.

[@Rdizil-ox1ye]

I was trying to catch some crappie on minnows all i caught was large mouth bass i try fishing area where I think the specs will be but bass bass bass i got some jigs. Just haven't had time to get off work and on the water

[@stepitup5409]

pretty funny title for this video. I think its more like what not to do when crappie fishing.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

We call that on The coosa river in alabama the "COOSA TURN" lol especially black crappie they bad about that

[@tleb8111]

Please try bass night fishing.

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

I do have crappie magnet jigs too

[@randybryant9936]

Patients Is a virtue

[@timbenfield6257]

Thanks I learned some good points

[@chaselandress3565]

Try using the white lights they seem to work better for us here, Oklahoma and drum are edible

[@maifishinglife]

Enjoyed this video! Appreciate the tips! Ty sir

[@Matthewfrey562]

Lol me and LFG have alot in common when it comes to getting those slabs in the boat

[@redzebrastripesify]

Next time try snacky swimmer let it hit the bottom and slow roll it back thats how ive been catching them all summer

[@dustinsheppard9791]

What kind of livescope pole are you using attached to your trolling motor? How do you like it?

[@cnickrem2]

Great video. Thanks!!

[@Enjoyinqtheoutdoors]

So my local lake is Lake Success in california. We have had a really tough time fishing it this summer. We have a lot of trees that get submerged underwater. I would love for someone to help me break this lake down to find the crappie as well as the bass. There was a kayak competition recently and out of 45 anglers only 12 caught a fish. It was brutal.

[@leesmith3263]

Question: it’s not fishing related but could you try to make a Penobscot war bow for hunting this year? Very unique design and would be a fun challenge

[@ReubenOaks84]

Great video, way to stick it out and get it done.

[@sewerplant1378]

what hat brand is your straw hat

[@khouriedwards1896]

What was the power of the two smaller rods you were using? One was green and the other was gold?

[@jjoutdoors3634]

Would love if you would share some of your graph settings while fishing or right before you go out fishing.

[@Fishin-mission1]

You should try some thump gel.... that stuff works wonders for me.

[@codegame027]

Outro GOATd

[@bradymeredith3528]

Usually when I catch them at night it’s from like 1 to 7 am

[@link151328]

man you catfishing got me going so i went to Lake Erie this past weekend and hammered on some channel cats. got one blue. but between may dad my son and myself had about 15 kitties and a lot of meat. ready for a fish fry soon. but going to try that blackened recipe first

[@finnishfisherman2347]

having cracked line guide is such annyoing thing sometimes and hard to fix if its not on the tip

[@jasonmillsap3143]

Slurp me Sally 😂

[@Fish_4life23]

Well done Sir!

[@rtshort]

Golden crispies are the best. :)

[@lukeshirk936]

What are some good techniques for finding off shore brush and crappie in the summertime without a good fish finder?

[@faithfamilyfirearms]

I'm only half way through but you may want to check those guides if you havent.

[@faithfamilyfirearms]

If only I would have watched another 20 seconds before commenting. 😂

[@aarondise4649]

I once left a mywedge on my outboard, I noticed before I left the dock but when I lifted the motor to pull it off it fell into the muck behind the launch, a month later I’m back at the reservoir and find it on the concrete of the launch so I scooped it with the net, haven’t done that one again

[@James-hf7pn]

You need to put a little slab sauce on your jig

[@derekcross3808]

Googan needs to come out with a line of crappie jigging rods 10 up to 13 feet

[@shaunroberts9361]

I got one worse. I had a inboard outboard SeaRay and put the anchor out.,and then took off with out pulling up the anchor.

[@dakotamorris1367]

Go over to Scott’s they are loaded in there.

[@jacksoneckroat4141]

Will you do what your live scope settings are

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

I have to be honest lol, I have all sixth sense lures, could you explain what plastics are better and how you use them?

[@Z71Ranger]

Is that Googan Line...

[@toddthebod22]

is googan still a thing? Ever talk to lunkers?

[@TsunamiSam]

Smells good

[@richiefranke7823]

how about some alligator gar fishing?

[@ronaldbryant8457]

Whats the water temp on those DFW ponds???.....prob low 90s??

[@justinc3434]

They do make nets.

[@tylershelton2697]

Get a 12 foot acc gs12m best jigging rod i have

[@nickpetersen587]

I want a drum catch and cook is that a thing ?

[@SWF734]

Should have kept that drum for cut bait and made another blue cat video!

[@juvidisciple]

what reel was he using on his 10’

[@bakervinci163]

If you eat that drum I’m dropping my subscription

[@bakervinci163]

They always hang with crappie

[@getstuffdonelandscapemaint1858]

Will you still use the powerbait niblets?

[@grapeape3305]

What lake are you on?

[@5959racer]

That drum is a very good eater,,, Dont pass on them.

[@biggaman69]

I'm jealous of this man tackle box lol would you be willing to adopted a grown man so I can use your tackle

[@quick8236]

Not going to lie, I night fishing video would be fun to watch

[@bakervinci163]

Drum get shallow in the summer

[@whystop3388]

❤

[@anonymouse7074]

Deadsticking, got it. Will try next time

[@anonymouse7074]

Reporting back, got em!

[@danieldejarnette1319]

Rip the crappie God shawn hayes

[@GotMeSomeNuts]

what stringer does he use? I have seen that stringer in so many of his videos

[@cpntexas_x]

Looks like chain variety that has10-12 clips that are like big safety pins to secure each fish.

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

You know those dock crappie will bite that you're seeing up under there you just have to grab the jig and bend the rod over and slingshot the jig all the way to the back. It's called dock sniping and it's the only way I crappie fish anymore! Mainly because all i catch now is huge slabs! Honestly you need to go back to the dock and not worry about filming just practice shooting that jig in between the side of a pontoon boat and the side of the slip. Or better yet between the motor and the pontoons! You have to kneel down at the front of the boat and get extremely close to the back of other people's boat's, but as long as you don't bump their boat your good. Once you start dock sniping you'll forget chasing all those pressured crappie out in the lake. Trust me most people ain't messing with those under the dock, unless slip's are completely void of any boat's.
