Great information. Just started crappie fish. Don't have side scan or live scope but my Garmin has been awsome in finding crappie. Just got to figure out the color they want. God bless. Stay safe.
Keep doing what your doing. We enjoy it and appreciate it as always. Hunting and fishing is real life events that has sustained us since the beginning. People need realize that
I would like to add that, a great many fishing channels just show people fishing but I appreciate your instructional aspect. I typically watch fishing channels to learn more tips and techniques than to just see people catching fish. I think it's beneficial to share your knowledge and your how to with everyone. I appreciate your testimony at the end. May the Lord bless you in the growth of your channel tight lines.
I agree with your statement you can only watch a person catch so many fish ? Sometimes i get in a zone of catching fish and forget to add into the video about what I'm doing . Keep working on your channel it takes a lot of time and effort to keep a channel going , it is a slow process .
@@wildlifeadventures-13 you are so right it's funny that I get that way too I get the fishing and forget that I'm trying to make an instructional video. Thanks for the comment response good luck to you.
My channel is very small but I've watched some other guys with large channels 100,000 subscribers or so commenting on how their views have diminished over the winter. It may be something to do with the economy and the the war overseas according to them. People are more tuned into the news than they are fishing channels. Hopefully with the warming weather people will start watching fishing videos more and everyone's fishing channels will grow. Keep up the good content and everything will be fine.
I was subscribed to your channel and somehow I was unsubscribed. Not sure why. Maybe that is why your numbers are going down. Thanks for video. Another good one !
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of crappie fishing. What time of year do the crappie on Kerr Lake spawn out and return to the brush piles? I want to plan a trip there in early May, if Lord willing.
Jeff, In my opinion, Black crappie will be moving up shallow around mid to lake March all the way thru the first of may ,White crappie spawn a little later April and May . I found fish back of covers shallow and I found them spawning in the middle of cover around brush that's 15' deep .
I've been seeing 50 degree water temps and getting into some crappie but not large ones.... there's a whole lot of 9 and smaller inchers and only a few nice eating sizes. I'm gonna start dropping marker bouys more often since the windy season is coming
One of the reasons I show the live-scope footage is so everyone can see how fish are staged and how they react to lures this would dirrectly relate to your fishing as well , Like window shopping without buying .
Thanks for sharing! When you're vertical jigging you mentioned adding an additional split shot weight to get the 1/16 head down quickly. Is that a typical option or is using a larger head better? I've been trying a lot of vertical jigging this winter using mostly 1/16 oz heads and small plastic trailers. It's very difficult to get them down 20-40 ft even on 4 lb test line. It's doable but slow and if windy not really doable.
In my opinion> thy to keep your jig head weight as light as possible. The lighter it is the more natural the lure looks in the water . I use two jigs for extra weight sometimes but most times if its windy I put a big split shot 16"-18" up the line and use a 1/6oz jig head . I'll put out a video soon on some different options.
@@wildlifeadventures-13 ok. Thanks for the good info. Do you primarily use jigs in colder or warmer water? I am always looking for advice. I've tried 1/16 oz jigs all winter without much luck. My last two trips I used minnows on a double dropshot rig. I actually caught three nice 12 inch crappie today.
@@davidhunley4982 once you get within 30' of the fish you can tell by the outline of the fish. bream are the hardest for me to tell between crappie. I'll have to try and do a video on it .
Hi, this is my opinion only and not meaning too be rude. The better percentage of us do NOT have livescope and we enjoy videos put out by Richard Gene The Fishing Machine. He catches fish almost every time, using very economical fishing equipment which most of us can afford. I do appreciate your informational videos, just being honest with my answer.
Vicki, thank you for watching my videos, I will offer two comments, go to my channel page and scroll back to the beginning of my videos , you will find roughly 50-60 videos about crappie fishing before I had live-scope and some very good informative videos especially spring fishing and dock fishing . I do understand that live-scope is out of price range for most people that fish ,the goo Lord has blessed me to be able to afford one, but don't let the fact that I show live-scope shots on my videos deter you from watching ,I show those scenes for all of us to learn about crappie behavior and how crappie relate to structure and how they react to lures or minnows .I have learned so much about fish behavior since I started using live-scope .I remember one scene where I was having to twitch the bait ever so slightly to get a crappie to react and bite the lure and you can actually see how the crappie reacts, So you gain that knowledge from my channel without buying a live-scope you can incorporate that into your fishing stile .

really like the instructional stuff, not just raw footage with no teaching.

That is awesome!
Thanks for the video. I love that you always try to educates your viewers on techniques rather than just video you catching fish. Keep them coming!!!
You bet

Welcome 👍
Have you updated your garmin? I am new at livescope and hear pros and cons on the last updated version.
I have not , I always like to wait on updates .get all the kinks worked out .
I’m itching to go fishing. But this cold weather needs to go so I can finish my boat repairs.
I know what you mean . I try to pick the warmer days to work on the boat .
I've been seeing 50 degree water temps and getting into some crappie but not large ones.... there's a whole lot of 9 and smaller inchers and only a few nice eating sizes.
I'm gonna start dropping marker bouys more often since the windy season is coming
I caught a bunch of small ones to . I did find a lot of shad in the backs of coves so I'm thinking the spring transition has started.
Great info. Wish it was relevant as I can't afford the upper end electronics.

I haven't seen to many fishing and hunting videos lately
How you know they are crappie
Explain your question ? do you mean how they look on the livescope?
Yes- how do you know it is a crappie and not a small mouth or any other kind of fish?
@@davidhunley4982 once you get within 30' of the fish you can tell by the outline of the fish. bream are the hardest for me to tell between crappie. I'll have to try and do a video on it .
Why don't we get to see this year's videos four years ago
What?? Explain what you mean?
@@wildlifeadventures-13 it seems like all I see is videos that are not recent sum are up the four years old
