What a beautiful day! Congrats on a great trip! I'm doing a new remodeling project. My wife has wanted new flooring in the house since we bought it in 2020! Got the two big rooms done but still need molding! I hate to let this tip out but maybe it's unique to my primary Hybrid lake. But many of my best Hybrid spots are next to brush piles that have been set out for Crappie. The water here rarely get real cold like it does in Oklahoma. But next week it will drop into the 30's for a number of days so our water temps will drop into the lower 50's. In 2012 while looking for Hybrids in 30FOW I caught a big 15" Crappie deadsticking. One last thing! That would have been a killer time to have used my bait fishing technique! I've never tried it in low 50 degree water but plan to in two weeks. Next week the weather look too unstable but we should have a good day or two the following week!
Thanks! We are at about 100 crappie, so a little bit behind you lol. But I was super surprised how the pole really didn’t bend that much with the large fish we caught.
I love the look on the other boaters face when you were spitting distance thumping as he is crappie fishing. That it epic, I could only imagine what he was saying.
I am too! My dad told me I would have as much spare time retired as I had working! He was right! We did buy a new home on property so it's a full time job remodeling, gardening and trying to maintain big flock of chickens. I also picked a AM part time job so I don't sleep in all the the time. I get home around 9am so it about the time I would have woke up ate breakfast and be ready to do stuff!
Gotta love it. Can't put the jig in the school of crappie. Put it just above them a foot or two, when they start coming up, slowly pull up and make them follow it.
Nice to see you catch some slabs! I love crappie. Was that an ACC Crappie pole? I got a 7ft ACC and they’re phenomenal rods. Crappie are typically either suspending fish just out in the middle of the lake somewhere, or are found tight in brush piles. Were you fishing a brush pile or did you just find a school on live scope suspended?
Yes we got some 13’ ACC poles. Seemed like those were the most highly recommended. So far we like them. Haven’t ever tried other so can’t really say how they compare. These were in brush piles. Used to get caught up in these walleye fishing. I could see how a 7’ would be nice in 50’fow. You can go straight down and the length isn’t really advantageous.
@BooneBoys just wait until a largemouth, sandy or catfish grabs your crappie lure. It'll be like fighting a marlin if you don't break off and keep the drag fairly low.

This weather should make the fishing better I think. I keep forgetting the mussels, but will try it again soon.
Great fishing my friends!! Those ACC crappie Stix are the way to go. We’ve probably pulled out thousands of crappie using those rods!
Thanks! We are at about 100 crappie, so a little bit behind you lol. But I was super surprised how the pole really didn’t bend that much with the large fish we caught.
@ Yes you will enjoy those rods more and more. I’ve tested other rods and they aren’t that great.
But, what livescope unit do you have, lvs32, or 34?
That thumping would drive me nuts. Pass the pocket knife I’ll fix it.
Even if you’re loading your boat with fish? Lol
Up until today the weather has been perfect. I’ve gotta get out more in the winter for sure.
Cold sure hit us today too. Should change the fishing for the better I think though.
@ can’t wait to see what you guys get into for me I won’t get started till march most likely

Love it. Trying to learn how to do this is a journey for sure.
@@billyray8904 well we are hooked. Today we sacked them and both the boys were catching them and I could tell they really enjoyed the crappie bite
Pretty neat to see you catch the slabs this time! Another great outing!!
Thanks! My dad has been wanting to get back into crappie fishing for a long time.
Dang!! I'm retired and you guys do more fishing than me. As always, you guys rock!! Love your videos!! Keep em coming.
Ha ha. Hopefully my wife doesn’t catch on to how much we fish.
Thanks so much for the support!

Thx!

Thanks for the tips. Lot to learn but so far marking trees through the years is paying off. lol.
@BooneBoys definitely, mark those trees!
And nice video!
Thanks Stan!
Come on Dad! Lol

Are the light blue marks crappie?
Yes. White crappie.
Did you go to MSU?
University of Missouri.
@@BooneBoys sorry that’s what I meant to say.
