I love how he always says “howdy everyone” it’s the best possible intro to ever exist.
I like how he calls it a croppie... and not a crappie...
It's good to see that there is someone that still knows how to fish without using livescope
Exactly, a true one!
Your mad you can’t afford one too I take it
what is a livescope
@@Jefeblaksta I'm not trying to sound ugly I can afford what I want but forward facing sonar is not very sporting to me I don't need a sonar unit that tells me where to cast and shows the fish hit my lure All I have ever needed is 2D sonar
@@billycraighead9814 I know I can’t afford one either but wouldn’t mind one since I’m on the water it would be awesome to see the sonar structure and find fish faster .. it don’t mean the fish will bite just because you use sonar but it also gets you on them faster and enjoy the day more .
I hope everyone reading this catches their pb this spring!
Right back atcha !
👍🏻👍🏻
I've seen you commenting this one very fishing video I've watched
@@mattburke9554 he’s just spreading the good fortune! Or it’s a bot with good intentions lol
@@Oldbasshole just wondering hiw he has so much time lol
There’s just something about bobber fishing panfish in the kayak that’s so relaxing.
Great video as always.
My pb crappie wasn't even on ultralight, let alone a bobber.
It was on a 3/4 oz ledgebuster spinnerbait
When my kids were little, they were afraid of bones, so I would filet and cut them up into bite sized chunks. After batter dipping, I deep fried them and called them fish nuggets. The kids loved them and if I didn't eat some as I was cooking, I didn't get any.
Sounds a lot like our place when I was a kid! Me and a couple friends would make them disappear as fast as they could cook them!
One of the many enjoyable things about your videos is the great scenery. Usually blue skies, lush and varied greenery in abundance, and fantastic water.
Good stuff!! Thank you for sharing with us.
As always so relaxing , just like I am there myself . Nothing but your comments and the sounds of water , wind , nature and NO Stupid music ! Thank You so much !
Kayak fishing is absolutely relaxing. My son and grandson just bought kayaks and I had one years ago but nothing like the nice stuff they have now. Thought about getting another one but my old back wouldn't like that. These postings are top notch. I would have brought home at least a couple of those crappie. Great eating. I used to fish some farm ponds with my nephew in Indiana when we would visit that was loaded with hybrid bluegill. They were so big you could hardly get your hand around them. We used to throw them back but one day the owner said he wanted to thin them out a bunch. We took a good bunch home and cleaned them for a big family fish fry that night. Nobody was in the mood for fresh caught fish for some reason so my nephew and I ate til we started growing gills. Great memories.
Am I the only one that watches this channel for the relaxation? 😜
Thanks Matt, that was a very relaxing video and I enjoyed the tranquility of bobber fishing for crappie! Waiting anxiously for your next video, take care and be safe!
Thanks for putting all of us stuffed in you kayak for this fishing adventure
This channel is the best! No arguing about sports or politics. The Bob Ross of fishing.
As my kids are growing into fishing age, I have fallen back in love with fishing for bluegill and crappie
panfish are still my favorite, especially on ultralight gear
Ugh I’m dying for some fishable open water. Winds killed us all winter and winter can’t decide between snow or rain.
Meanwhile down in Virginia and Carolina some of us wished we could see some snow. February was warmer than March but we have had many 60s, some 70s and even a few 80° days. Just crazy. We usually don't get much of a spring but it started in February this year
@@dreichert1438 i'll send u all of our snow next year bud.
This winter sucked so bad I cannot believe it. Me and my boy love snow so we were bitterly disappointed. Luckily we went up to the Canadian boarder for some ice fishing few times. Pike and Perch didn't disappoint.👍
Same here in Indiana. Water is hovering around freezing.
Same here in buffalo
Looking forward to getting back out on the open water. Winter this year in the UP has been atrocious. Love watching your videos for the last 6 months
Yeah we have close to record amounts of snow here and over 30” of ice on lakes still. It hasn’t even started to melt yet. It’s going to be a late spring, probably some big flooding on the rivers too.
Glad you have video to put up while we wait for spring.....
Same here in Mn.
@@ndyakangler the same streams that have dropped record snow in Utah this year is also sending it to the Midwest as well.
Yeah, I live in Arkansas and we've got so much water running right now everything is about the same color as chocolate milk.
The variety of fishing content is what makes you such a great channel. I love watching your huge muskie/pike vids and then being able to chill thru a crappie vid. Very good stuff
Crappie are probably the most satisfying fish to catch, always a fight. Smallys are a close second for me but Crappie hold a special place in my love for fishing.
…as a newer sub and not having fished except a handful of times as a kid i have to say how much i’m enjoying these videos !
I don’t know how many of his videos I’ve watched but I’ve just realized he is the Bob Ross of fishing. I can’t wait until it warms up enough to get back on the water!
Omg. That place is insanely beautiful. Can't wait to go yak fishing. The wind has been knocking ne out of action for a few months. Fishing and rock n roll are the only things that get my adrenaline gland flowing.
I grew up in Glenwood MN in the 40s and 50s. In the spring of the year, the Crappie's would return to Lake Minnewaska at the inlet from Pelican Lake. I can remember catching Crappie's that were 2 pounds plus back then. I don't know if there are still those large fish running but my memories are vivid about those days.
Oh, They’re there… it’s a fun lake with lots of healthy fish.
@@carlfriedrich5316 A school mate of mine, Laverne Floen, who still lives in Glenwood fishes Minnewaska frequently.
Finally got myself a crappie the other day. Been going for them for a few years. They are mighty good eating. My man makes fishing look so easy 😅
I agree! As a kayak fisherman wind can be challenging, but it can fire up the fish!
The Perch LOVE the fry size ones here in WI. You wouldn't believe how many they destroyed last summer on me. I just jig through the slip bobber.
those mimic minnow fry are one of the best kept secret crappie lures ive ever used. worked the best for me during the springtime
Appreciate the catch/release and the testimony on various lures you use. GOD bless you and yours sir.
That little hop and catch at 16:20 was impressive lol
Can’t wait to see content with the new Compass! I too am graduating from a Tarpon 120 to a Compass (from Hi Tempo) this year. Here’s to 2023!
Great video, can't wait for the good weather in my area. Thanks, Matt.
I watch your videos with my 10 year old son. He laughed so hard when you pulled in the tiny pike.
I might have to save that clip for a bloopers video!
Yes! Just what I needed - vicarious fishing through RUclips's best kayak fisherman!
Rivers and streams don't open here until 3rd Saturday of next month and the lakes are still under the increasingly sketchy ice. Perfect time to watch someone else fishing while getting gear ready.
Yeah I’m just editing old footage while waiting for spring weather to finally show up. Lots of snow and ice to melt here so it might be a while.
@@ndyakangler That explains how it could be so nice over there when I'm basically at the same latitude, just a little higher elevation here in western Montana. lol
I almost hate to comment because I'm basically going to just reiterate what so many other commenters say. I love watching your videos because of how relaxing they make me feel. Foe me... that's fishing. The beauty of God's nature and soothing sounds of the birds, frogs, etc. I remember when I lived in Connecticut, that truly was fishing for me. A row boat on a 50 acre lake filled with bass, perch and sunfish, with some chain pickerel thrown in for the occasional challenge of not losing your lures! Now I live in NC and have to fish from the shore in a pond surrounded by trees. Sooo much frustration! Between the submerged trees and stumps, the wind, and the surrounding trees and bushes, I think that I may have lost more lures in two years than in the past 30 years! ..and they cost so much now! I recently came across a pack of red 3.0 tru turn worm hooks that were $2.39 for 25 hooks. Those same hooks today cost $2.19 per 4! Can you say "INFLATION!" ...Thanks for sharing your trips with us. Blessings!
This style of video is so relaxing I can’t stop watching dude keep slaying
I absolutely love this type of fishing . This looks like a perfect fun and enjoyable day out to me . That little pike was cute and those crappie are so pretty 👍
I can hardly wait for the snow to be gone and to get back on the water! Great video, as always.
Yes Matt I certainly did enjoy the video relaxing fantastic fishing so wish we had crappie here on the UK beautiful fish
Thank you
Can’t wait for the first smallie video !
I have an awesome one from last year I’ve been holding on to! Maybe one or two other videos to edit first then I’m going to do a long river smallie fishing video.
@@ndyakangler Stoked. You ever fish Lake Audubon for smallmouth? Bit of a trek for you.
A beautiful scenario and a very instructive video on fishing with a lure mounted on a bobber rig.
Wow, a lot of action there on this beautiful river - those Mimic-Minnow sure must look super tempting to all kinds of fish in there!
Ah...a relaxing panfish trip riding shotgun in the Yak. That was my kind of trip. Thanks Matt
Glad to see you back in the yak! this must mean that everyone in your life is doing well 🙏🙏😃
This is old footage. I’m just waiting for it to warm up a bit before I get the kayak out, it’s still winter here right now.
@@ndyakangler have you been putting your new kayak together?
half of these videos i fully expect a paintbrush and a canvas to break out and to hear "there are no mistakes, just little fish"
Just found your channel, like the Bob Ross of fishing. So relaxing to watch.
You’re the bob ross of fishing RUclips. Always feels like I’m out there with you
We used floating basket to hold them, works great until ready to leave. Sure do miss this, some of the best eating also.
NDYakAngler: "Catch you later, little buddy." Fish: "Not if I can help it!"
Lol next time he might have his cooler with him !!
Nice job I just started kayak fishing a couple of years ago and really enjoy it. I wish i was as successful as you
What a beautiful spot, and great for fishing. I didnt think the audio was bad at all. Youre like the bob ross of fishing. I love watching youre videos. It makes me wanna get out on the banks and start pitching in lures
Most calming narration voice and videos on RUclips!!!
I love spring crappie fishing. A special tactic I use while shore fishing is flipping a weightless Strike King Mr. Crappie Lightning Shad and reeling very slowly as I constantly twitch very lightly with the rod tip down. The lure stays just beneath the surface as it slowly moves and does little wags. That gets crappie to come right up and hit it. A very similar retrieve with smaller suspending jerkbaits, like a size 6 Husky Jerk and size 4 X-Rap, also works.
Good to see you back mate. Love from Chattanooga, TN!
Can’t wait to see the new kayak in action!
Calmest dude ever.. earned a new subscriber!
absolutely amazing fishing there right now , killer tips love the vids 🔥
Best videos to watch with my kids❤
Love fishing with the mimic minnows have not tried the fry though. Will have to buy some and try them. Great video.
Really like your show would love to fish in Minnesota looks like the fishing is grate there the best of luck to you Rob from California.
What a gorgeous day of fishin❤
nice fish. i have been watching you for years keep it up.
I bought the same color mimic minnow years ago from a Walmart up north. Can't remember how many fish I caught with that thing before I lost it.
You can’t go wrong with the perch color around here!
A nice surprise on my birthday thanks man love your videos keep it up!
That dark one looked cool.😎👍
I caught a few like that, unfortunately the wind only let me use footage of one of them lol
Thank you for the upload keep up the hard work
Tough day at the office yeah?😂
Just tried these out myself over the weekend. Caught crappie, perch, and a few Rudd on the perch fry ones. Will be using them again next weekend!
You should try use it like a popping cork and can hang it further from the bobber if you're trying it along a transition. They seem to like those transitions. I usually give it about 3 ft and put a 1/32 or 1/64oz jig head so it pendulums slowly and use a 2.5 or 3-in gulp minnow. They love that when they are being finicky with a regular jig and plastic. Give it a pop, wait two or three seconds while the jig slowly pendulums and repeat. Works like a champ, especially at Spawn
Friends of mine in Vilas County, WI turned me onto using a popping cork technique. It is a very productive method in the spring. Thank you for sharing, TIGHT LINES.
You’re actually telling NDYak how to fish? Lmao
@@SPFLDAngler I'm not telling anyone how to fish but we all have things to share that are effective so quit being judgmental. He himself would tell you he doesn't know everything on earth and would likely be open to conversations about fishing, as most of us are. That's why we watch channels like this, to learn, Not to shut down our minds and think we know it all
Lovely vid thank you man for your work
Been using that lure for years. Works even better when you put a crappie nibble on it.
NDYak you rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
Matt, it seems like all the water there in Minnesota is so clean and such abundance of fish, great video.
Liked your video, very calm narration, nice voice sound, quiet! It surprises me that type of fishing like if you use real bait !
Great trip again.
"OOOHHHH Someone's chewing on my little minnow" Loving the commentary!
You have some fantastic fishing spots up there, that's for sure!!!
I think that was the smallest pike I have ever seen! love those mimic minnows 😃
One of my fav pan fish baits i like the dark green color
Great technique on the push through. Learned something
Them crappie love those lindy hair jig bass too very fun on 6lb lite rod
Love your videos they are so peaceful, suggestion: do a video on all of your best catches on camera
Today was a bad day, except for about 20 minutes. Thank you.
That little pike biting the paddle made me LOL.
The true Bob Ross of fishing. Keep up the good work. :)
always good to see a video from the fish whisperer.
That first catch look like a warmouth 💪🏾
your voice and dialog make you the bob ross of fishing
This guy sounds like the Bob Ross of fishing.
When that pike grabbed onto the paddle, 😂 that got me lol
Haven't seen someone using the mimic minnows in a while. And quite frankly they're a great bait. The smaller sizes slaughter the eater size crappies. And I've caught some giant slabs and bass on the bigger sizes. Pike are a problem when using those but they always are with minnow like baits.
Nice vid. NOW I'm getting anxious to get out and do some fishing.
Nice work. Thanks
He's the Bob Ross of fishing
Love your videos. Been watching a while and just realized I was not subscribed but I am now. I just watch a video from about a year ago where ya used the spitfire head banger minnow on river smallness. I was wo during what your rod and reel set up was for that cause I really liked it. Thank you for your content and style it's so bingabke even ones I've already watched. Always Cool lures . The duck the snake and of course the whopper plopper musky and pike slams!!! Just great!!!
good job, i can't wait for ice out!
Beautiful lake,
Always watch the videos all the way through but it seems like I wait for you to say howdy every one. to hit the like button b. it's like I know the fun is going to start once I hear you say it
Matt the lightbulb just went off when I saw your ski yourself through. I’ve had so many opportunities to do that, and I’ve completely forgotten lol.
Nice fishing in that wind. I’ve never had any luck when it got super gusty lol. Good to see you back on the water
Love crappie fishing!
Thank you Matt❣️🙏🏼
Matt, you should do a how to catch n cook video! Those seem to do well for a lot of people.
I have no idea how you are situaed financially Mat but, hay, a little more income from a little more input sounds like a good deal to me. I, for one would love to see what you do with those keepers. Catch and cook might just be the way to go. Please try it, you never know.
Caught an absolute monster 2lb crappie with a rooster tail the other day. Love those fish
