quick question, do you think smoking a cigarette then handling bait or lures affects the bite? ty love the videos

TroyboyQUE - 6 years ago

Richard is there something wrong with the fish this time if year? They looked frying pan ready to me.

J Peach
Thanks I thought that it was because of the color change on there bodies. I haven't had the pleasure of fishing for crappie yet. I've seen so many people posting there crappie fishing trip since mid February. I mean like every southern state from VA. Down. And out towards TX. Crappie fisherman have been going Bat S@&! Crazy.
I'm kinda salty because I wanna fish too LOL.

J Peach - 6 years ago

TroyboyQUE maybe because of spawning patterns. He's leaving a future for the species and us.

Keep catching them Richard! I love your videos. You have single handedly gotten me back into Crippie fishes this year. It’s been about 7 years. I drove 3-1/2 hours on Saturday to try and get into them. Unfortunately I didn’t catch any but I am sure I soon will.

Richard, you need to try out fly fishing for crappie!

isellcatlitter - 6 years ago

we still have 36-45 inches of ice in Minnesota, but the crappies and sunfish are moving out of the main lake basins and staging near their traditional spawning grounds.

The 5 that gave this video a "thumb down" are probably in their parents basement and never been fishing their whole lives. Thanks again Richard for another fun and informative crappie video. Actually had some success with your techniques yesterday.

You know I've been watching and have watched most eveyone of your videos and if I'd say so myself this one has to be my favorite or at least one of my favorites. Not only are you catching some really nice crappie, you are giving alot of awesome tips to people who don't know how to crappie fish. This reminds me so much of my father in law, and us fishing. Just awesome keep them coming. I'm sure you'll be doing alot more of these videos just like this cause guess what time it is, spring time and just an awesome time of year to catch crappie and bass and all kinds of fish. Thanks Richard, thanks so much. Good luck and God Bless.

robertintexas - 6 years ago

Richard, I'm going ultralight with the smaller jigs with 6-8lb test mono using spinning reels. I'm having a devil of a time with the line balling up and making loops on my spool. What am I doing wrong? wrong line? too much memory? too light jighead? I end up just cutting my line several times a trip and just starting over. Help! Thanks.

robertintexas - 6 years ago

Roggiedale, I'm going out of town this weekend for a family get together, and I drive right by a Cabela's. I'll stop and pick up one of these spools of line. Thanks for your tips. rob.

roggiedale - 6 years ago

First before you go let the line out 50' plus and stretch the line. Then reel the line on your reel and spray with reel magic or a similar product. STOP throwing and snapping the bail by reeling Throw out the bait then fold the bail by hand to stop the line twist. After a period of time twist are going to form ( Facts of life jig fishing). Let the line out with nothing on your line for 50' +. Then reel back on reel and start fishing with this rod again. Add two similar rods, reels, and line for a longer period of fishing. Be a smarter fisherman and start using 4lb and 6lb. Use monofilment green Pro Line (Cabelas) on a 7'/ 6'6'' rod ( Your going to need the line stretch and forgiveness in the rig). Of course smaller rod on docks. Reel slower then you think it should be moved. Watch the line jump. Thump! Cheap and smart til you learn. Use your drag. Enjoy more fish. Just a thought from a old man. Well with a freezer full of crappie fillets. With this line bring it. You can afford to respool for pennies on the dollar. Remember most fishermen fish below the crappie. Learn weight of bait on line weight and rate of fall. Test with staked out level of water level in lake. With foot measured pvc pipe, 1000 one 2000 two etc ( Hint). Just a thought. Wish some one told me this years ago. God Bless you and yours. Good Luck!

robertintexas - 6 years ago

Darren, thanks for the suggestion. Viewed several videos and got 4 or 5 tips. Hopefully this will fix me up. Thanks again.

Darren Mudge - 6 years ago

RGTFM showing it's about that time of year. The best time of year, only if I can get away from watching the NCAA Tournament, on t.v. Being from Kentucky, March Madness is truly madness.

derek a - 6 years ago

Pre-spawn crappie pattern is now happening in Kentucky. The males are searching for nesting areas. Just got back from a local lake. The crappie are on the move.

wavygr - 6 years ago

Are your videos live or do you cut out the hangups tangles and little crappie?

Michael Ferik - 6 years ago

Richard if you was to see all those crappie around ya under the water it would likely give ya a heart attack! Man that lake has a heck of a fish population in it!

Alvie Ward - 6 years ago

Richard do you ever troll for crappie? If so do you have any pointers? Do you prefer long line trolling or vertical trolling(spider rigging)?

Bobby Blevins - 6 years ago

As usual, getn it dun!

Ryan Mordick - 6 years ago

Love the videos Richard. Last season I targeted bass, bluegill, and catfish. This year I'm all about the crappie! I live in SE Iowa so any advice for fishing the Midwest would be appreciated! Love going on these trips with ya!
