The Best Pattern for Summer Crappie - On The Water with The Technological Angler S2E4

This is the best way to catch summer crappie from coast to coast!
In this episode of On The Water with The Technological Angler, Dr. Jason Halfen teaches you how to target summer crappies in offshore wood. We begin with a detailed Side Imaging lesson packed with key settings for covering water fast and for enhancing detail. Then we talk about boat positioning options using Spot-Lock and shallow water anchor systems. Next, we cover all three MEGA Live modes and when you would use each as an active fishing tool. Finally, we share all of our tackle recommendations to make your next trip a successful one.

Really enjoyed this video and your presentation at the CAD 75 St. croix event. I was the guy with the walker.. I learned a lot, even though I fish a lot for panfish and have networked electronics. First thing I did was change my side scan color to #1 Blue. Game changer. I also now see how you fish from your rig and use your mega live pole on the port side. I usual fish from from of my pontoon boat and have mega 360 on the right side of my Ulterra. Thanks again for your passing on your great knowledge. Eric

Thanks for the feedback and have a great season!

[@tomcaldwell5914]

Just an excellent presentation of the use of your Side Imaging and MegaLive, as well as boat position and appropriate tackle. Thank you.

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

Appreciate the feedback Tom!

Best summertime crappie pattern is trolling.....handsdown.

[@anthonyferguson8857]

Thanks for the positive feedback!

You really stepped up the game with the new content! You have me using landscape more after the last video. Still a ways out of my comfort zone but it’s coming. Headed to lake vermilion Mn next week, so looking to play with it more. How is the tki pole working out? You could do a show on that. I’m not finding many out there. I don’t care for my summit pole. To much flex with the ram mount. Might have a TKI next. Appreciate it

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

Appreciate the feedback!

Will you consider an in-depth on-the-water video highlighting the new Lakemaster VX premium card showing practical applications for all of the different options and layers? Thanks Jason.

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

Thanks for the suggestion Ron!

[@ronknight779]

I love these on-the-water videos demonstrating the options with our HB one-boat-network tools, as well as how and when to tweak the settings depending on the conditions. When in search mode with SI, are there times when you use 455kHz instead of the Mega setting when the range is greater than 100'? thanks Jason.

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

About the only time I use 455 at this point is when dealing with real turbid/dirty water. 455 cuts right through all of that turbidity.

[@ronknight779]

@@TheTechnologicalAngler Thanks. Great tip.

[@darylcross4336]

What if no wood where would look then?

[@KevinKreutz]

Is the jog feature only available on i-pilot link motors? Or can I use the jog feature on my i-pilot (non link) Terrova?

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

Should have it on that motor too as long as it’s a Bluetooth model

[@scotthenderson4376]

Just got my boat back and new electronic a have been all over the lake and haven't seen anything fish wish like your showing :( All I see is a fish here or there no piles (groups) of fish

[@EricFrodesen]

Starboard side sorry Eric

[@anthonyeddy3503]

@aewsfrzdry9548. Would you please commit on the use of two transducers for side imaging.. I have talked to hummingbird about this and they are not very helpful. I would also like to attend one of your seminars, but I live in Missouri. Do you ever get close to Missouri. Really appreciate your videos, you know the technology and also a great angler. Hard to find these days. Any comment would be appreciated.

[@TheTechnologicalAngler]

I’ve used two side imaging transducers on every boat I have run or rigged for the past 12-13 years. Works fantastic. Best way possible to optimize each side (left or right) independent of the other side. I purposefully buy two side imaging units for each new boat, plus the SILR and SIDB y cables (and a high speed skimmer) to run a set of three transducers on the back of the boat. Can’t imaging running or rigging a boat any other way.

[@kevinpaukert8229]

I would like more education on this. I have a 12g3n at the bow and 8g4n at the council both msi+ networked. Us2 ducer in my terrova, which leaves me with a spare si ducer. Should I be using my extra ducer? Right now it's sitting in a box in the garage.

[@all-outoutdoors6762]

Our water is over 95 no fishing that shallow for any crappie
