Winter Crappie Fishing - Catching SLABS In Cold Muddy Water

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

That’s my kind of fishing cause it keeps all them fair weather folks at home. One of the best crappie days I ever had was in 36 degree water and about 28 degree air temp. We had the creek all to ourselves. Smoked them that day! I sure appreciate you my friend. Keep’em coming.

[@davonne225]

You just showing off now 😁 Winter time bank fishing is one of the hardest things to do when it comes to fishing “In my opinion”😎 but you make it seem like any other time and place on the lake. MR. CONSISTENTLY! Great video Richard 👍🏽

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Chad!!

[@jdsgonefishenagain3376]

Thanks for the pure dedication Gene. You the man!!!

[@twelveton]

[@daviddixon2829]

Richard, you're the best Crappie fisherman I've seen in a while!! Love the videos!!!!

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Jeese, bud. You lucky you made it to the lake! You were FLYIN down the road!

[@markwithers9468]

I had a feeling someone was out crappie fishing knew I could count on you to put us on a few r.gene you have a good day sir

[@anthonyhall87]

My buddy Richard Gene, you've done another fantastic job with the video. Also this video was very convenient for me because I was in the process of utilizing a variety of jigs to catch some slabs myself. I'm going to utilize more of the "refrigerator white" (yellow/white) jigs for the muddy water like you were using in this video. Lately, the Crappies have not been biting here in Shreveport, LA at some of my locations but I will not give up attempting to locate them. Two weeks ago, I caught 10 and they ranged from 9-13 5/8 inches. I appreciate the motivation from you. Keep'em coming my friend......Oorah

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Sounds like some good crappie Anthony! Very nice catches brother!!

[@markcarman9042]

Thanks for enduring the elements to give us another learning lesson !! I bet Elmo was humped up beside the wood burner !! Lol

[@issiahjordan103]

Yet another good video with some very nice slabs........

[@charlesmims3621]

We currently live in South Alabama, but planning a move to Guntersville hopefully in the next year or 2 would love to meet you! My Grandpa used to fish like you, he could catch a fish in a mud hole lol! Thanks again I've learned a lot from you!

[@kroegerj]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Bryan!!

[@N6570J]

Love your videos, Richard. :-) Watched the video of you fishing from the bank in cold weather and I thought, hey, it's supposed warm up tomorrow. Maybe I'll go out for awhile. Then reality settled in. All the lakes and rivers are frozen over. ;-(

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Flying2low!! I can't wait for spring! lol

[@xandervo5446]

Richard I wish I can fish like you buddy. Happy new year!!!!!!

[@mohammedtuma100]

Very nice! Where are ice fishing in Nebraska! 🤧😪❄️❄️☃️

[@denhaire]

Elmo-tell Richard I spent most of my kids inheritance on a boat, motor, upscale trolling motor and the finest fish finder/chart money can buy. I need Richard to show me some screen shots of his fishfinder and show me what to look for while on the water. I don’t have any good bank fishing or columns in the water on the lake I fish in central Texas. Tell Richard I will tap dance at his next wedding if he will do this for me. Dennis

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Dennis, Elmo told me and I will make it happen!! Get your tap dance shoes ready!!
