I was 12, I sold seed one spring and had enough points to win 2 rods and lots of fishing gear. I cut shool and fished a farm pond. I threw a white flat face lure at a stump and caught a huge crappie. Walking back home with a string of fish, a dude offered me 10 dollars for that fish. I am sure he won a contest with it. 10 dollars in 1959 was a nice peice of money.
Arkansas and yak fisherman here. Catch crappie everywhere here. First time seeing ur channel. I think I'm gonna be able to stand watching u. Keep on keepin' on!
Carrollton, Al. Aliceville Lake, Gainesville Lake, and Demopolis. Love to go Crappie this time of year. Black squirrel hair jig is my go to. When you find them,it usually doesn’t take long to fill the box. As always awesome video brother. Thanks for all you do. Tight lines Nate.
I'm watching from lakewood NY I fish for crappie on Chautauqua lake when the crappie spawn they go up into all the canals around the lake hundreds and hundreds of crappie..I took a couple days off work and went crappie fishing for four days straight !! I LOVE CRAPPIE FISHING!! TIGHT LINES BRO!!
Sooo funny!😂 I just bought two of those exact mini cranks three days ago and took them to my reservoir and put the smack down on some crappies! I was trolling them in 16’ of water with a 1/4 oz of weight about 6’ up from lure just to get them down a little, worked awesomely! They put out a lot of action at slow speeds.
Southern Wisconsin. The ice just got off the lake I fish on. I went out yesterday the water is only 44 degrees yet. Caught 2 nothern pike and 1 bass using crappie minnows.
North Carolina/Kerr lake,Falls Lake and private farm ponds,Spring Time Crappie fishing up in the back waters that feed in to the main body of water.Great times!!!! 🎣
Calling in from Western Montana and the Idaho Panhandle as a way of describing my Crappie country...not a ton around here, but fun to shake away from the blue ribbon trout fishing from time to time. You are reaching fellow anglers far and wide. Your tacos are killing me right now brutha...gotta get me some. Good on ya...love your channel.
I'm from Middle Tennessee here. I went trolling for Crappie on J. Percy Priest lake yesterday. I got 7 real nice keepers. Biggest was 13in. Trolling a black and Chartreuse Charlie Brewer Slider grub. There was too much wind to pitch to structure. Moving to the Florida panhandle soon. I hope I can find some there. Not many lakes.
Good job,Bobby garland hard to beat.thats a great crappie lure.keep up the videos you are doing great.i am from georgia.the crappie have spawned here but caught lots of them in 2 to 4 foot of water with minnows.but use jigs to.
I'm watching you from Greensboro nc. My son and grandson went crappie fishing at the largest natural lake in NC last week and brought home a good number of fish.
Went to a buddies farm last week in central Missouri and three of us caught over a 100 crappie. Was an amazing day. We were not keeping fish but just moving them to another lake on the property. They are so much fun and so aggressive when bedding.
What an amazing video great job on catching them crappie and the recipe also looked amazing and delicious. I'm from Central Oklahoma and the crappie just now started to heat up definitely will try your recipe for sure thank you for sharing your videos. Keep on fishing.
From Amite, LA. Haven't been Crappie fishing yet here. Definitely going to be doing a little scouting around here now, though! Great vid, bro. Keep it up.
Florida is only place I know of that calls them speckled perch but I fish for them on the Escambia and yellow rivers here in NW Florida. They are definitely in my top five fish to target behind reds in the marsh and pomp’s in the surf
Just saw this video n thought I’d tell u I’m from just outside of Toronto Ontario Canada. Now my trailer is at Canal Lake n I kayak fish there all the time for large mouth bass, northern pike, crappie, perch, n the odd bowfin n catfish. Great fishing there!! Love yer videos, keep em coming!!
Tumwater, Washington. I appreciate your videos & you taking the time to explain everything about crappie. I've learned a lot from them, can't wait to get at em this weekend
Savannah, GA… Thank you for taking the time and effort in to making videos. Going fishing in Metter, GA. next week. Planning on a catch and cook. Can’t wait.
Sacalait (New orleans roots comin out) is the only fresh water fish I routinely eat, the problem is I only catch them by accident when I am bass fishin, if I try and catch them I only catch bass, lol.
You should try and vertical jigging under a small float and try different depth until u get a good average found this technique allows you to be on the strike zone longer and just the water ripple is almost enough to get the strike man wish I was there…🦅🇺🇸👍
Lake Murray SC. I have a lynx too. Do you have trouble getting your rudder to flip all the way up when coming off the water? I can not seem to get it to come all the way over. Thanks for the channel!
I’m from Wadley Alabama, we have a Great Lake for Crappie by our house. The lake is Lake Wedowee. I really enjoyed your video. We have lots of Giant Large Mouth Bass , Crappie , Spotted Bass and Cat Fish.
I’m from Louisiana, Cajuns call em sacalait my pop taught me to find them with half a worm on a #1 gold hook after you find them you start throwing jigs. I recently caught my pb on a worm but I definitely need to try out small crank baits
Tallahassee Florida. Lake Talquin has some SLABS! I know you said you were wanting to fish for crappie there. Did you ever make it over here to Talquin this last spring?
Boom! Love the video brother! I have not had a whole lot of luck over here in Ocean Springs, Ms for crappie, however I know of a place that others have on the Tchoutacabouffa River in Biloxi/Woolmarket that I wants us to check out one day! Love the content as always Nate! Keep on keeping on! Thank you for all that you do for the sport that we love!!!
I have a question for you, we have a small creek that runs through our property and fish out of it with live worms and catch brim and small bass. I like to try some lures there and maybe catch some bigger bass. What kind of lures would you suggest I get? Not sure if there is crappie in it. I’ve never seen any!
Okay I subbed, now teach me how to catch a crappie 😂 I only ever get em on accident and never on purpose. Last one I caught hit a 5” swimbait. I mean it was like 2lbs at least, but that still blows my mind. I’m from Arkansas by the way.
Woah woah woah you were only there for an hour???! I can’t believe it. Ive got to start crappie fishing. You’re catching those things like I catch sticks.
@@twotoned2774 glad I’m not the only one. 😂 So my plans this year as far as fishing goes; Catch a 15lb catfish, win a kayaking bass tournament, master crappie fishing, catch a 5ft alligator gar, and do some surf fishing in gulf shores. Lol. I gotta stop watching so many RUclips videos, the list is getting longer and longer. Next thing you know I’ll be in Florida cast netting aquarium fish 😅
@@GrumpyGillsFishing lol. I can relate to all. I caught 15lb catfish in the pond in my backyard using a piece of steak soaked in cumin. Usually we catch lots of turtles with that setup.
Claire's in Florida Duval county I know you been fishing / in my area hexter drive sister create St Johns River Erica and crappie or everywhere here in Green cove
@@southernsalt how do I contact you to get scheduled? I’ll be doing some surf fishing with G2 Coastal and definitely want to do as many types of fishing as I can.

You need to get the Frabil crappie measure - you just put the crappie in mount first and get a measure way easier than a typical measuring board.
I’ve seen them but haven’t got one I might look into it
Central Texas between Austin and Houston in the heart of Crappie Country!
