- A quick evening trip puts a few crappie in the bag. The spawn in the spring isn't the only time to fish for Crappie. You can still find them in the heat of the summer. Come along with me on GVSoutdoors and see!
Disclaimer...I promise this is not the best footage you will see on this channel. I'm learning and committed to getting better footage each time I go. Thanks for watching!
Like your messages about being a good sportsman! God Bless!
God blesses me EVERY day! Thanks for the kind words! It's vitally important if there is any hope of convincing folks that the sportsman in a key component of conservation.
If you're having problems keeping minnows alive, especially in warmer weather, try the Rosy Red variety of fathead minnows. They are so much more hearty than the regular shiners you buy at bait shops. I just kept several dozen alive for 4+ days in a cooler with an aerator. And they don't die quickly once hooked either, regardless of where you hook them. You can typically find them at the chain pet stores as they are sold as feeder fish for around $0.20/ea. But sometimes they don't have the larger ones in stock that you'd want for fishing in the 2-1/2" range. However The Honey Hole Bait and Tackle in Blue Ridge VA near Roanoke has started carrying them. I'm not sure if any of the tackle shops near the lake do or not, even though they all use the same supplier. And also I've seen my crappie harvest at least triple using them over shiners. It's either their lively action or the color, or perhaps both. Hands down the best crappie minnow you can buy.
Yeah Fatgeads in general are tough. I just don't buy minnows EVER. I either catch them or go without. It is a good excuse to jig and improve at that for me. Honey hole is AWESOME. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video.nice crappie.New sub here
Thanks for the sub! Hopefully I'll be back in them soon!
Probably one of the best SML Crappie videos I've seen so far! New subscriber here.
Thanks brother...maybe I'll see you out there! I need to film a few more. Been fishing a lot just lazy on the filming and taking kids with me....k8nd of a three ring circus haha
@@gvsoutdoors2673 Would love to take you out on our tritoon with Old Hippie Rodney sometime.
@@starcityskycams2502 I might need to hit you up for some deep water striper expertise. I have a bunch of spoons I made up just don't know areas to target so much and I usually give up by daylight when the jetskis swarm. We should do a recon exchange! I fish most Tuesdays
Awesome video dude! I do quite a bit of fishing and filming on SML myself but bite has been tough for me. Glad to see you are finding success!
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I've seen quite a few of your videos. Great work. We will probably see eachother out there. Stop and say Hi if you do.
@@gvsoutdoors2673 thanks bud! I’m sure we will and I will definitely make sure to say hey! Do you fish mostly the lower part of the lake?
@@CatchingLimits I avoid the lower part of the lake like a plague. I am almost always in the Roanoke river and usually not a lot further down than Lynville. Saves gas and everything I want to catch I can
@@gvsoutdoors2673 ah gotcha. I do most in the Roanoke just above halesford bridge
I've been catching some nice rock bass in tinker believe it or not.
there are some really nice ones in there. I did a little creek fishing too. Keep fishing man!
I feel your pain.I have been getting pounded by jetskis, wakeboats,wake boats,and high powered tritoons. Oh and the bassboats.🥲
Yep
