    I live in Ohio but fish the lower end of the lake. The piney flats are good in the mornings. I got a few other points that are all around 15 to 25 feet. That's where most brush piles we fish are found. Hope that helps.

    Great video. That looked like a flat head catfish. They are good eaters.

      It looked like a flathead to me too. I wasn't hungry for catfish though

    Hey bud I grew up on Watts Bar and you are completely showing me up. If ever you want to come back to Tennessee I have the boat and the live scope. All it will cost you is a hotel room and gas. Hit me up

    We fish Douglas and we fished on tue the day before the cold front the water temp was 65 but the crappie was in 25-30ft suspended at 12-18 range in open water at the mouth of creeks. We caught ours trolling. But it was a tough day

    Good luck this weekend! Make Wi proud ☺️ Do you have a video on your echomap uhd unit? I have the 73sv for my kayak and I'm just starting to attempt to use it.

      I will be filming a full series this spring on how I use my echomap, it should be out by the end of May.

    Great videos (ep1 and ep2) I am surprised you didn't find better fish in Piney, I'd always heard it was a good creek. The ramp had been closed so I just started exploring it. With a big/long lake like WB do you put any stock in that one area will be better than the rest just because its the south end and nearest the dam? Or are the fish more or less evenly distributed?

    • @FloppingCrappie
      @FloppingCrappie  3 роки тому

      I had my best luck toward the south end of the lake, just north of piney.

    • @larrymarek9571
      @larrymarek9571 3 роки тому +1

      Wondering if that is universally true. I fish Chickamauga (the next lake) and the best spots are definitely on the southern third of the lake.

    Man I have watched video after video of different lakes and how an where I catch during the entire year never coincides with other lakes in our region or others north east west or south of me or info online so I’d be lost if I have to change lakes

    You cant adjust the water levels on the map unless thats a ultra unit or map. just another sleazy move from Garmin. lol

    Hey man, how are you liking those rear seat ACC rods vs the middle seat? I'm on the fence, but I'm looking to get some 12's and 13's and the rear seats seem to make more sense for the longer rods. What do you think?

    • @FloppingCrappie
      @FloppingCrappie  3 роки тому

      I the the hybrid rear seat for my 12ft. That's the rod you see in the video.

    Hey Davis are you still using a Humminbird at the Helm or are you fully Garmin now? I bought 2 Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 93sv units. I seem to have more trouble finding fish with the side scan on these units than I did on my old 798 Humminbird. Do you have any tips or suggestions.

    • @FloppingCrappie
      @FloppingCrappie  3 роки тому

      i have both at the helm, i mostly use the Humminbird for mapping. My side imaging settings are 40ft left/right, contrast around 55%, gain/brightness on Auto Low

    I don’t think you’re supposed to eat the fish out of there?

    • @FloppingCrappie
      @FloppingCrappie  3 роки тому

      I saw a sign at the boat ramp saying to limit the amount of white bass and black bass that you eat out of the lake, but I didn't see anything about crappie.

  • @slabslayer258
    @slabslayer258 3 роки тому +1

    Man you being sneaky I do same thing when I’m crappie fishing every weekend or more if possible an I still don’t want nobody to close an don’t want them to troll or motor over an ask me how I’m doing I will turn my boat away an not talk to them 🤣😂
