[@dallaswheat7727]

You are fishing behind my house great video. I catch them out there too.

[@stevebenson3024]

Never go crappie fishing without nibbles. Sparkles for sure.

[@JD-ps6od]

Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!

[@keithwalker5078]

fun way to spend a cold day in winter watching you ketch crappie. used to love ketchn off our dock at LOZ but sold it and fish other lakes now but still good to see how you ketchm off of docks and shoot them.

[@davidball1208]

Thanks for putting these out , going through and watching all you old videos, got a new hip so it’s that and tying jigs.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Thanks for watching! Good luck with the new hip.

[@michaelsullivan3738]

Great video Mike

[@dannymalone4073]

Thanks for another Mike Baker video, enjoyed the LS shots.

[@CatfishWeekly]

Another great video Mike

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Thanks!

[@tommypouliezos8236]

Very envious sir.

[@notkrankykris]

thanks for putting the video together mike. i'm curious why you chose a casting presentation over a spider rigging. was it preference, preparation or a tactical choice?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Just personal preference.

[@notkrankykris]

@@MikeBakerVideos fair enough. spider rigging is effective, but i don't consider it fun for a casual day on the water. i'd much rather cast, dock shoot or vertical jig as well.

[@markniles3013]

Thanks for the new video Mr. Baker. You are a soldier. It has been pretty cold, I know it has to be worse on the water.

[@williamengland6950]

Thanks for another great video, Mike! Dad and I have been landlocked the last few weeks. Looking forward to getting back out there!

[@mztd912]

I can't stop laughing at how hard you set the hook on 'em papermouths and your reel screaming like it's a 10 pounda.

[@jimschmitz4821]

Outstanding video Mike! Can't wait till after the holidays....I'll be back at the lake. Happy Holidays to you and your family Mike, I really enjoy your videos!

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Same to you!

[@miguelrios3463]

Great video as always!

[@ETXChris]

Mike, what is the folding plano box holder in your dry box!? Thats a new one for me.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Built in to my BassCat from the factory.

[@MikeCloverGroup]

What kind of mount is that being used for your Go Pro at Fish Finder? Enjoy your videos Mike.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

One of my single spider rig rod holders.

[@timrhoads4753]

When scanning is it down scan or side scan

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Side.

[@lloydmorris6545]

Man, love your video but you need me on the boat 😆

[@tonycopeland881]

Try a live minnow. If they dont eat that. They wont eat anything.

[@JIgginCrappie]

Thanks for the great video Mike. I was eating crappie while you was catching them. Went Monday to bull shoals and got into a few. Gonna have to try lake of then ozarks I guess sometime.

[@jlritter]

You mentioned line conditioner, what do you like? I’ve learned a ton from your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

I like Kevin Van Dam’s. www.basspro.com/shop/en/kevin-vandams-line-and-lure-conditioner?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Shop%7CBPS%7CTopPerformers%7CFishing&gclid=Cj0KCQiA_JWOBhDRARIsANymNOazs5I1H_yb83hPXPBYHwBGQHIys0PRpmdsylJn7BkxX8N4fT1xraUaAkyWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@ronaldphillips8750]

Do crappie tend to school in open, around brush tops or close to bottom this time of year? What would determine their tendency during tis time? Thanks for putting out your videos.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

All of the above. Not sure what dictates where they are but usually bait will be close by.

[@thebowtiefisherman5718]

Another great video... Hey I simply love that cold weather suit you're wearing. What's it called, and where can I purchase it? Thank and you stay safe

[@tommypouliezos8236]

Hey Mike what model is your Garmin

[@MikeBakerVideos]

8612

[@renrut6842]

What brand of rod ,model and length you use around these docks? Also what brand of reel and model number. Thanks

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Depends on what technique I am using. I let you know what gear I am using in my videos or in the description.

[@dwheeler016]

You need to new "Dead or Alive" scope to target each fish and harpoon it.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Good video Mike how do you know if they are crappie without catching one 1st. Could you long line troll or pull crank baits and catch these fish

[@MikeBakerVideos]

I can tell by the way they look and act. Their shape and they just suspend. You could probably catch them long lining or with crank baits if they were in a mood to chase a bait and if you could get to them. Hard to do if they are surrounded by docks.

[@danielfowler5940]

Love your fishing videos. I’d like to send ya some hand tied jigs if u would get in touch with me. Just to kinda repay ya!

[@MikeBakerVideos]

If you send me a message on Messenger I will give you a shipping address. Thanks!
