Have been watching your videos in preparation for a family reunion on Lake of the Ozarks. Can't wait to give your method a try. Been stocking up on the "chartreuse shad"!!!!
Very good video!!! Would not have known that it was a first one. Very professional. Look forward to more from you. I would like to know more about your set up for the rod holders. I have a 21 foot Triton Fish and Ski and have been thinking about something like what you have on the back of your boat.
Found your videos by accident and LOVED them. I hope you plan on making more. I love trolling Bandits for Crappie on my favorite lake here. I was having a fit when you were throwing those catfish back. If I could make a suggestion, or ask a favor, in future videos, when you tell what you're trolling with, could you show the camera? I had never heard of Tadpoles.
Thanks for the Tadpole info. I often get bored with long videos but I watched both of yours from start to end and will probably watch again. They were edited very good so that there were not long periods of inactivity, and Lake of the Ozarks provides a beautiful background. Keep em coming.
Nice set up I saw you fishing for cat a few days ago. I was wondering what your boat was now I see. I fish the north shore about the 5 mile marker but my age complains anymore with winter weather
Very good first video. Nice slabs. For your next video, maybe try your camera in a fixed position mounted on a pole or tripod near your console overlooking your transom and rod holders. I was getting a little sea sick from all of the camera movement. Other than that, keep the videos coming.
I can get the Bandit 300s down to about 20' and the 200s to about 12 to 15'.I am using some Diawa bait casting reels I have had for 30 years. The rods are inexpensive Berkley Cherrywod rods, 7', medium action. The spinning reels are very inexpensive reels I picked up at Wal Mart. The spinning rods are Wally Marshal rods. Again, 7' in medium action. That is the beauty of trolling crankbaits for crappie, you don't need expensive equipment to have a good time.
Jerry is right. You can have more than 3 rods if you have your name and address or conservation number on your rods. The first thing I do when I purchase a trolling rod is to put my name and conservation # on it with a paint pen. I usually paint the tips with yellow paint to make them easier to see.
Mike, I watched your "#2" video first. You learned a lot between them. First, head mounts can make you dizzy if you move them much and GoPro cameras have very poor audio quality. I like what you are doing. I was raised about 30 miles from where you are fishing. Check out my videos. Thanks, Jerry Routh.
I'm glad you got started and even more glad you stuck around.👍
This is neat 1st video
love the video Mike keep them coming
Thanks. I have others on my RUclips channel.
I've watched them all
Really love your boat, is it for sale?
Sold.

excellent series of videos, they have helped me a lot. Thank you
Very good first video! I liked your set up. I have a jet ski rigged for fishing. My wife and I are on it pretty frequent.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Thought you did a nice job. love them crappies
Great video. hope to see more soon!
Trolling Texoma with a red Bill Norman medium action crank some of the most fun I've ever had fishing. Not sure why more people don't troll.
nice fishing with the go pro mike enjoyed the watch and fishing with ya ,great little clip.
Thanks! Filmed a new video today. Should be out next week..
Mike, great videos on trolling cranks... Do you feel 8 lbs line is an advantage for casting the cranks?
Mainly an advantage in getting them to run deeper than with heavier line.
Good video! I'm dizzy from the head cam though!
I agree. i have gotten away from that.
Too bad Mark Twain wasn't as good to you as LOZ!!!

I had that rod holder rack custom built for me locally by a friend who is a very good aluminum welder.
Good job Mike.

Just recently found your channel. Have watched a lot of your videos. They have helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
Hey Mike what kinds of rods and reels do you use
In this video I am using Berkeley Cherrywood rods and Daiwa reels. For tournament fishing I use St. Croix crank bait rods.
Hey yeah that's great. how long are these rods Mike?
7"
Very good first video. Nice slabs. For your next video, maybe try your camera in a fixed position mounted on a pole or tripod near your console overlooking your transom and rod holders. I was getting a little sea sick from all of the camera movement. Other than that, keep the videos coming.
I did just that on my second video.
What type of line do you use?
Vicious or Crappie Max.
Hey Mike do you do crappie guides
Sorry, no.
how deep do these baits dive in the water column? Also, what kind of rod and reel set up are you using? thanks!

I just found your RUclips site, great videos. I also live at the Lake (Gravois Arm). Keep the videos coming....
Where are the ocean liners i have heard about on this lake.
Great vid, but I can make myself use more than 3 lines at a time. Really like you boat setup.
thumb-up and sub...good first video...thanks for dating your trip, wish everyone would do it...
not to pick but isn't the law in Missouri 3 poles per licensed fisherman?
Not to butt in but you can have more than three poles in Missouri but if you do you have to have your name and address on them.

That's good to know, thanks.
Subbed like the content, I am looking to try this method not looking to invest in line counters and planer boards. YEHHAA from East KY
Nice boat
