This Technique Produced GIANT River Crappie!

- Spring is the season when crappie invade the shallows like soldiers making a beach landing, and it's also the only time of year I target these fish.
Technically, it's not spring yet, but the run always kicks off early here in South Louisiana, so February can be absolute prime time.
I was hoping it would be this weekend when I took my son Joel onto the Tchefuncte River near our house. We like catching these fish, and like everyone who has ever tasted them, we absolutely LOVE eating them.
So we set out with a bag full of Bobby Garlands, and finally settled on a style the fish really wanted (purchase here: amzn.to/3SYINc8). The hot technique was to simply cast the lure out, let it settle to the bottom and retrieve it slowly.
The fish were absolutely TAGGING the bait, and although we certainly caught some small ones, the technique delivered the biggest crappie of my life, a fish measuring almost 16 inches.
Check out the video for all the details!

What up Jooeelllll!? Glad to see you made a trip with ya ol pops!! Awesome lil trip, I myself been doing a lil Sac a Lait fishing, a few here and there, definitely no 16” hammers! Geezzz
Always good to bring your son along. Awesome
I caught a lot of crappie last year in the little creek right before the interstate back towards academy.
Up here in Missouri, my buddies and I throw Bobby Garlands exclusively. No matter how they swim or look in the pool, the original shad has always proven to be our most successful. Doesn't matter if it is winter, summer, spawn, etc... always end up going back to the original.
Cork fishing is good when fish are not aggressive. Sometimes the only way, when they are not willing to move very far.
Todd it’s always good no matter the bite when you have family along. Buddy here on or off the Pearl we find them pre spawn typically suspended, and if the pine trees are dusting all horizontal surfaces yellow those babies are preparing for love. In any event it looked like you boys were having a ball. How bout a catch & cook from the banks of the Bogue Falaya w/your invited guest being Mr Sac au lait ? Another half hour well spent❤. Thanx Buddy.
May see out there one day I fish it a lot
Good job Guys ,caught many in that dead end .Glad to see they took that boat house roof down,very dangerous .Caught a 2.8 lb slab back there 2021 just about where that guy was standing ..right against his bulkhead.Enjoy yalls videos
"Holy Joely"
Road runner. Small beatle spin, Colorado blade , slow role. Cork with Bobby garland straight tail. But I don’t know much. Always feed up!
Went back of chackbay Thursday afternoon and caught 13 socs and several other fish
Thanks for de head's up-been wanting to wet a line in ole T-Funky and at our first Lenten Fish Fry,one of my Abita KC brethren mentioned this You Tube to me,love deep-jigging for T-Funky slabs think my personal best a shade over 2.5 lbs and lost a chunk that was a legit 3 plus lb brute but dat's why dey calls it fishing NOT shopping.Gonna get myself on down to de River pronto and Spoiler Shads INCREDIBLY effective plus of course,Bobby Garland and attaching Crappie Psychic trailers and Nibbles aint a bad thing to do.We NEVER use live bait,no need to and much more fun enticing slabs to smack plastics!!
Ayeee back to back!
Wow 16” that’s “ Big “ for a River Crappie 😎
Atta boi Joewl
Great vid… got put onto your channel by outside the levees… mind… that puppies bark was primeval! … I’ve never been so skint so my price is way lower… a kitkat and a six pack for some cuddles off the bear would do me fine 😂😂
🤣 You never know. He seemed to have ill intent, but he mighta just been wanting a pat on the head.
I tried the upper Tchefuncte, up in Washington Parish, last weekend....jig under a cork - absolutely nothing, even though the water looked great. I'll have to try that bottom technique.
Sac-A-Lait feed up. It is always better to fish for them by cranking your lure through the water column above their heads.
My preferred bait is a 2.8 inch Keitec fat swim bait in the “Sight Flash” color with a little chartreuse accent in stained or/ sometimes even clear water conditions.
My average catch with this bait is 3/4 to 3lbs.
Three lbs. wow!
Dig the show. Waters cold. I don’t now much. A cork to keep it in the strike zone longer. Your son coulda smacked em right behind you with a cork and woulda smacked em . Keep on Putin out great shows . I’m lookin forward all the time!👍🤙
Check out Charlie Brewer crappie slider jig head and grubs.
You gotta try the gulp minnow for sacalait.
That Rottweiler had a few things to say to me Mardi Gras day. Joel had me at 10 grand. I'd be on that dock saying "who's a good boy" 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Did you end up giving that guy a fish or two? You should cook it and then take him a plate. Blow his mind! Love the videos! I have been wanting to go after a few crappie to compare them (taste) to flounder. This is lighting s fore under my butt.
👍😎✌
That was definitely not a snapping turtle. It was a red ear slider
Yes, we know. We were joking. "Ackshually ..."
Just spent 10 minutes figuring out that a sac-a-lait is a crappie 🤣
You must've missed the first 10 seconds of the video.
@nitto24 did he say that? Obviously I have superior attention to detail 🤣
@agould53 did you re-watch the video? Lol... got your attention. You did at least watched 30 seconds into the video to find out what a "sac-a-lait" is?
Joel, cork not to deep. And you can smoke your dad inthe next couple of weeks. 👍🤙😛
