This video is perfection, Richard standing on the front of a little tracker topper boat rippin them lip. I mean woooooooooo! I remember when this video came out. Been a great time watching you sir. Hard to believe how long it's been. Thank you so much for all this hard work sir.
You caught two $15 dinners in half an hour . Works out to like $60/hr. theoretically . Not bad for a beautiful morning on the lake havin fun . Not to mention showin off a little and sharing the bounty .
Richard you have inspired me to start crappie fishing. I have always been a bass fisherman and brim with a cane pole and crickets. I went and spent about 500 dollars on rods and reels and jigs for me my wife and two boys. Me and my oldest boy went earlier this week but had no luck. We live around Mobile, AL area and fish the river delta down here. A lot of people are catching them but we had no luck. Started out fishing with a slip cork and jig. Ended up taking the cork off and trying to slow roll just the jig as it appears you did in this video. The problem I had was almost every cast I would get hung up on the cover under the water. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. We were fishing in a creek off the main river in water about 3 feet on the bank to 8 or 9 feet in the middle. I'm frustrated to say the least. I absolutely love your videos and I'm going to stay with it until I learn what I'm doing. Any advice you could give me on technique/tactics would be greatly appreciated. I was using a 1/8 oz jig with a sienkel hook and a bobby garland black and chartreuse jig body. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to more videos.
in this situation I would down size your jig to 1/32oz and use 4lb test line. After you do this go try that again and you will be successful!! the 1/8oz is to heavy for that depth of water it keeps the jig on the bottom. Crappie are up feeders they will only hit it if its slow and above them. Thats why the light er jig will help you be more successfull! Thank you for watching Jason!
The evolution of your videos from 3 years ago until now has been outstanding, and it has gained you a ton of subscribers. Less smoking, more information being shared. Keep up the good work.
Going to be my first year really going after crappie. I fished as a child with my buddies dad. With tube jig, vertically and some minnows. We always left out of HoneyComb. I have piddled around with out much luck but studying up and learning as much as I can. I may be wasting my time letting out at HoneyComb. I am still learning my depth finder using a Lowrance Hook5, not finding a lot of cover in that area, I am sure it is there though. I would love to pick your brain sometime! Thanks for the video!
+Billy Ray Thanks for watching Billy Ray. And if you want to ask anything feel free to do to ask anytime! I'll do my best to answer. Have a good one and good luck!
Richard Gene The Fishing Machine Is there a way we could chat versus RUclips video responses? I will have a lot of questions and learning to do, lol. My email is billy_steph@bellsouth.net or Facebook can just be found at Billy Ray Atchley . Thanks for responding
+Billy Ray You can email me at Richardgenethefishingmachine@gmail.com if you would rather talk on email. I dont check it as often as i do youtube so if i dont respond right away its just cause i havent seen the message yet.
The Mamba I am looking at putting Navionics on my Lowrance, but curious how detailed it really is compared to base map. Also, everywhere I am seeing it for sale it's around 150$ geemonetty, my wife will flip after all the money I have spent on guns the last few months, lol. I a, already basically starting from scratch starting up crappie fishing.
I leave for Patoka lake this weekend up here in indiana. I just hope i , opps, we, have just half of the luck that you have. Love your shows here. Thanks for posting them....
Yo Richard, you ever see or heard of a late 1950's movie, about a reporter , who goes to witness, photograph and write about a fishing tournament, who ends up wth a fishing rod in his hands and also wins the tournament by accidental catches of Large bass ? Don't know the name. A not so well known classic it seems.
Follow several fishing channels and you're my favorite. Honestly, one of only 2 that I care to watch anymore. Good technical insight and understanding, attained from a lifetime of fishing clearly. Humble, easy going, avid fisherman. And probably the best catch line of all time, dance, Houston and all....."Go fishing when you can, cause it's goooood for ya". Keep up the great work!
You are the man Mr. Gene. Awesome channel. Awesome person giving your fish away is wicked nice smashin those crappie out there. Much love from Upstate NY.
Were you bouncing your jig on the bottom or were you catching them suspended......around cover....and how were able to stay in the channel and not know you you had drifted off your spot...thanks for making solid videos.
I was fishing for suspended fish catching them about 5 to 6 foot deep under the surface. By using my depth finder i could stay on the edge of the creek channel. Thanks for watching Randolph2k7. If you have anymore questions let me know.
I swear Mr.Gene you were born with a silver rod I have never seen a person who can catch them like you and my brother Ivy Timmins. I'd love to see you and him fish together.Hes always fishing in G'ville too.Well keep catching them Mr Gene and Good Luck!
Hey Richard, never watch much on RUclips but I've become addicted to your channel. I like the way you talk about what your doing and even though I live in Texas you techniques has helped me catch more crappie. I also like your reviews on the different tackle and how you rig up to catch crappie in different situations. I truly enjoy watching your show. GO FISHING WHEN YOU CAN, CAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR YA!!!
First you said Elmer want some fish then you give them away then you start saying you and Elmer catching fish now starting to realize Elmer's your imaginary friend not knocking it sometimes those are the best friends love your show buddy👍
It is good for ya.,! Keep doing what you do..the way you do it..! Great tips,videos,presentations ,I really appreciate it and you.! And when you see Elmo tell'em I said "duh-huh"....!
Thanks for the info. I love crappie fishing , Richard said he is catching them in about 10 to 15 foot I can not catch them at that depth I have been catching them in 30 foot what am I doing wrong? when they are in there summer pattern I catch them at the depth Richard is fishing.
For the last two weeks we have had unseasonable weather conditions as Rolltidmatt92 said. It has actually warmed the water temp. up and what happens the shad will suspend high in the water column, thats the reason i have been catching them 5 to 6 feet deep fishing over 15-18 ft of water. Basicly what i do is find the depth the shad are and fish for crappie at that depth. Sometimes i have to hunt them but sooner or later I always find them this way. Thanks for watching Danny and if you have any questions just let me know.
one of my favorite fishing channels, great catch. Were getting hammered with rain this weekend in central Georgia or I would be out there. Keep up the good work
You just get a little extra adrenaline flowing when somebody[those 3 guys in the bass boat,2 of them with orange blaze caps on], comes by and you nail one or two or three. That was also a nice touch of giving that guy your fish. Now that makes you feel really good! Keep up the quality videos.
Great channel and appreciate sharing your tips with all of us. Am learning from you to catch me some crappie hopefully soon. I subscribed to your channel. When you have some time check out my channel if you dont mind. Thanks again.
hey gene, I liv on brindley mountan. Ima big fan. I thank I seent ur boat on the water the udder day. me an the old ladie like to fish round the big brige on gunnerville. she live in arab. Newayz, I subscribe to ur videos.
Great thanks Richard! I can't say enough how much I love your videos. I will definitely downsize and try it again. One last question do you recommend getting out of the creeks and into the main river during these dog days of summer? Thanks agin and Roll Tide!
Richard Gene you are the man. I've watched your videos all week on my lunch break and cant wait to try out your techniques this weekend here in NC. My boat doesn't have a depth finder yet so i struggle with determining water depth, shad location, temperature and underwater structure. Do you have any advice for lake fishing from a boat without using a depth finder? What should i look for to help me find the crappie? Thanks for your time.
I would look for tree tops/ rocky banks. Stumpy areas and boat docks. Thank you for watching my videos Cam I'm glad you enjoy them Good luck this weekend my friend and don't forget to tell me how you do!
This video is perfection, Richard standing on the front of a little tracker topper boat rippin them lip. I mean woooooooooo! I remember when this video came out. Been a great time watching you sir. Hard to believe how long it's been. Thank you so much for all this hard work sir.

You just get a little extra adrenaline flowing when somebody[those 3 guys in the bass boat,2 of them with orange blaze caps on], comes by and you nail one or two or three. That was also a nice touch of giving that guy your fish. Now that makes you feel really good! Keep up the quality videos.

Great thanks Richard! I can't say enough how much I love your videos. I will definitely downsize and try it again. One last question do you recommend getting out of the creeks and into the main river during these dog days of summer? Thanks agin and Roll Tide!
I Think its better to get out of the creeks and into the main river during summer. The river has better oxygen. Thank you Jason roll tide brother!
Hey Richard, what creek was you fishing in this video if you don't mind, Wayne Harris, Warner Robins , Ga.
Also . have you ever been channeling Elmo as other fisherman go by. I bet the looks Elmo gets sometimes are funny as it gets.
Fish @ 6:00 my god that was a real nice one!!!!!!
Richard Gene you are the man. I've watched your videos all week on my lunch break and cant wait to try out your techniques this weekend here in NC.

I would look for tree tops/ rocky banks. Stumpy areas and boat docks. Thank you for watching my videos Cam I'm glad you enjoy them Good luck this weekend my friend and don't forget to tell me how you do!
