Spider Rigging On Truman Lake #28 (4-17-2021)

In this video I am spider rigging for crappie on the Osage arm of Truman Lake near Warsaw, Mo. It is early spawn and most of the big females have yet to move to the bank. I am utilizing Garmin Livescope to help me locate the fish. It is a cold and windy day. I managed to catch a few good fish and a limit of good eater sized crappie. I am using 16' B & M BGJP rods teamed with B & M Pro 100 reels spooled with 10# high vis line. See below for links to my gear.

If you havent seen it the Mr Crappie Minnow Man - Minnow Bucket holder that you mount on your chair is great too. Keeps some minnows right below your chair. Created by the Jelineks, locals down there at Truman, they also make the Snagless crappie bomb! I dont know them, this isnt like a plug from their buddies, just good products and I like supporting the local guys!

Mike i sincerely ENJOYED watching u rig!!! That's how it all started for me as well and I SURE DO MISS RIGGING MYSELF!!! Thanks for keeping it alive and giving ME the enthusiasm to get my BGJP's back out!!! Thanks!

[@garyspear7043]

Another good video! I also enjoy multiple ways of catching crappie! The variety keeps things new as we continue to enjoy some of the older ways. Thank you, Mike

[@mikeduncan7542]

Excellent video Mike. I had not seen live scope in action, so that was an added bonus. Enjoyed immensely.

[@kfred]

Loved it Mike! Your definitely one of my favorite guys to watch.

[@amlee9567]

[@fatfred1234]

Another Excellent video mr baker! I really enjoy watching them!

[@colbyneibert7317]

Yet another OUTSTANDING video Mr Mike!!! Keep up the great work sir!!!

[@superman9879]

I really like enjoy your videos Mike. Thanks for providing great instructional content!

[@pietvanzijl6244]

Mike you make me hungry. Great job today

[@deancook6626]

I haven’t spider rig in a long while I’m ready to go great video

[@CatfishWeekly]

Another great video Mike!

[@markhendon]

good job Mike, looks like fun

[@themackguyverchannel7713]

I am having a hard time with the newer technologies. I know it’s the wave of the future. Unfortunately for me and millions of others the cost is too prohibitive. Maybe in the future the costs will come down. I certainly hope the sport doesn’t suffer from folks becoming targeters as opposed to fisherman. You said early on in this video you had the live scope set up for fun and you ended up targeting specific fish. I will still teach my grandkids the fundamentals. Hell most of us can’t read 2d sonar. Lol.

[@mattratliff2042]

Great video Mike.

[@callmecamo2]

Wow...I actually got the first comment on something. Love your channel, Mike.

[@hothamp]

Mike you should try using Active Captain Helm it can record directly to your smart phone on your devices and could take one of the cameras out of the picture to give ya more room.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Too hard to sink with other cameras and edit.

[@williamjenkins3720]

Good video as usual Mike! Do u miss the sea ark on cold days?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Yep.

[@tommypouliezos8236]

Hey Mike what brand , type are your rod holders for spyder rigging

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Perotti’s. Not sure they make them anymore.

[@codyodom6114]

Excellent vid! What was the speed you were trolling?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Around .5 mph

[@jeffro7407]

like to see a video on pushing crankbait setup, weights and speed.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

I do not push crankbaits but one never knows.

[@ronaldphillips8750]

What changes in in spider rigging would you expect to make if you fished today? (speed, depth, or location)

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Possibly shallower.

[@crappienaterfishing1198]

Livescope worth the money? Does it kill your joy?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Absolutely worth the money. I have never enjoyed fishing more!
