We used to use a little feather jig called a go getter, they came in yellow and white. We caught ice chests full of crappie. No lunkers but good pan fish. Best fresh water fish out there. Clean white meat. 1962 lake Isabella ca, man I sure do miss my dad and brother john both gone now. I still fish Isabella and catch crappie in the tree tops. This show really takes me back 60 years or so ago.
Karl, i enjoy your show much. I use a lot of trout magnet & crappie magnet as well. They have served me well. But when i see the crappies come up like that to take that float, you bet i will tie my own made cloth pin spinner on my ultralight setup and speed up the process.
So wrong. Your used to watching the old shows with stocked bass ponds, lol. This is a bay at the back of a large lake in Northern Ontario, but appreciate your watch time anyway.
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCHING THIS CRAP AT WORK HAS ME ABOUT TO TAKE OFF AND GO GET IN THE BOAT... OMG YOU HAVE ME IN SUCH A QUANDRY TO GET ON THE WATER BUT OUR WINDS ARE KILLER HIGH RIGHT NOW.... UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....
Thats not a split shot above the bobber, it is a bobber stop; this stopper is adjusted to different depths so my bait is exactly where I want it in the water column
@@ExtremeAnglerTV he hee pike and walleye good too but don't have them in tx. Up North they fried a shiner what was awesome too he hee eating fish bait I done it too crab shrimp ect.
Marcus, we will be honest with you, this small back bay off of a large lake could not handle the pressure and would be devastated in no time at all; some locations are better left as little gems that we all have and like to fish w/o a lot of pressure. We appreciate you watching our series and hope you have a great season. Thanks again for watching.
Checked out the link to the lures, the packages look way different of the website. Are they still the same bait? Eyes seemed a little smaller than the ones you are using.
I live 30 miles west of Minneapolis. Do you have any suggestions where I can get some giant crappies ? Lot of good lakes around but, really hard to find crappies......
for sure, join www.crappie.com forums are full of guys fishing all over the U.S. , I am sure someone would assist you if you asked, they are a good community or crappie anglers who assist each other.
i tie jigs like that using the synthetic hair you get from beauty supply places. it;s the little clip on hair they sell. tough, bright and last long time.
Jig works great in the video but that's water with little to no pressure. Not saying it wouldn't work elsewhere but probably less productive than in the video unless in less pressured waters. Good fun crappie action though!
How do you know how many people fish here??? lol. Thats quite the statement when you have never fished here? Every lake has pressure, its up to you to find locations on public lakes that hold fish and figure out how to catch them. Everyone uses plastic these days, the hair jig is an alternative that works.
@@ExtremeAnglerTV Most proven jigs are effective anywhere there is fish and I agree that it's a search and find but there are areas just less pressured due to accessibility for example people who don't have boats.
all depends on the depth fish are feeding; we alter the depth between bobber and bait accordingly each outing until we find the depth the fish are feeding, which is usually slightly higher in the water column then they are situated.
This time of year I've found that smaller baits are the ticket to lots of catchn.....Crappie Magnet making hand tied jigs now? Nice! Have you ever used those spring floats? They help detect those negative bites or the crappie raising up on the jig..... Excellent catches and Stay At'um.....
@@ExtremeAnglerTV that's great ..as a fisherman and hunter I dont give props on private lakes or forest ..those can be fed to grow..haha..lake winnebago in wi has em 15+"slabs just about this time ..late spawning
yea that's no problem with using a slip bobber as apposed to using a stationary bobber or cork float; with the slip float you can adjust the depth of the bait to any depth the fish are suspended.
here you go bro... www.bnmpoles.com/collections/panfish-reels/products/pro100 , video's like these never get old, only better with age. Thanks for watching.
Canadian crappie?? Where is this?? Callem CROPpie in TEXAS.... But on Louisiana?? Sac au lait!! [Means milk sack] great fish.. Great 📹 yummy fish. Show us how ya cookem. Ayyy??
Camera man needs to zoom in more when you are showing lures... cannot see at all what you are trying to show us. All I know is that you are talking to and kissing your fish.
I am always watching videos trying to learn new setups or rigs to use when Crappie fishing. That being said, most people are using their phone instead of a laptop so the screen is obviously much smaller and even the pop up does not show up very big and not quite long enough time to really get a good look at it. Trouble is there are sooo many jigs lures etc for Crappie you can go blind in the isle at the store looking at all of it. I like your pretty simple setup.
understood, thanks. you can find them as well on the Crappie Magnet website, click here to view troutmagnet.com/crappie-magnet/pop-eye-jigs.html they are also available at Dicks Sporting Goods, AMAZON, Walmart fyi.
Crappie are actually an invasive specie in some areas/lakes, when it comes to Bass, it's all about the hunt, not the kill. The sheer #'s of crappie in some lakes is countless and they are a catch and eat choice of many.
@@ExtremeAnglerTV I buy that for bodies of water with an over abundance of Crappie. Buy many lakes where I live in Central PA are getting fished out of Crappie along with this massive illegal introduction of White Perch which eat the eggs and fry of Crappie and Yellow Perch. Its a growing problem and its spreading. There's lakes down south that have been infested with White Perch too and Crappie fishing goes way down after that. Just an FYI.....peace

I'd like to thank you for helping my Crappie game. the crappie magnet jigs are the best!!
they do rock, thx.

Appreciate your comments; the episode was about the hair jig and yes, I will try some other baits/tactics on those 'hotspots'. Thanks for watching
Beautiful fish very educational video armor crappie fishing in St Louis learning a lot
thanks for the watch time and comments Antony
I fish with nothing but the Sam Heaton super sensitive rod. I have them in 7, 9, and 11’. Enjoyed this video.
‘
Those poles are the real deal for sure.
I use crappie nibbles. They're great for crappie, panfish, and bass. All species really.
These are the ones we use troutmagnet.com/crappie-magnet/slab-bites.html
As soon as he put it in the live well I subbed.
Lol
Man tell me about it
Great catch n kool video 😎👍
Thank you very much!
I have caught crappie using cigarette filters and pieces of a candy bar . When they are hungry they will eat anything. Very good video !
Good tip! where is that exactly? lol.
Awesome man! It was a real treat watching you catch all them slabs!1 thank you for posting it.
thanks for watching matt
Love the show, thanks for the info
Our pleasure!
Private lake stocked with crappies
So wrong. Your used to watching the old shows with stocked bass ponds, lol. This is a bay at the back of a large lake in Northern Ontario, but appreciate your watch time anyway.

sounds like your hooked on fishing! Congrats.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls.
Thanks so much!
You're Welcome
I would love to go with you on a trip sir...
Awesome video my main man🎣👍🏽👍🏽. We never get to old to use the good old jig and bobber. Thanks buddy and remember tight lines and sharp hooks
thanks for the comments and view Victor
@@ExtremeAnglerTV 👍🏽👍🏽🎣🎣🎣
So you use 2 different split sot sinkers, 10” above the pop eye then place another split shot above the bobber. How far above the bobber
Thats not a split shot above the bobber, it is a bobber stop; this stopper is adjusted to different depths so my bait is exactly where I want it in the water column
The original pop eye jig was made by a local right here where I live.
Beautiful color on those fish!
for sure, black and gold beauties.
Taste as good as they look too
Crappie is some dam good eating> it and catfish is my favorite fresh water game fish
We agree, love both.
@@ExtremeAnglerTV he hee pike and walleye good too but don't have them in tx. Up North they fried a shiner what was awesome too he hee eating fish bait I done it too crab shrimp ect.
Those are my favorite fish and those are some good eating size
We agree, love the black slabs, thank you for watching
I love crappies, that’s all i fish for now
Now We Are Fishing
yea man, we love crappie!
I know this video a year old but what lake you fishing at so I can go catch some slabs also I love crappie fishing lol

I have made and used pop eyes for over 25 years.
then we bet you have caught a LOT of crappie.
Checked out the link to the lures, the packages look way different of the website. Are they still the same bait? Eyes seemed a little smaller than the ones you are using.
they are the exact same bait, packing changes only.
Awesome video...
right on thanks for watching

Can those lures be bought at Walmart or where I'm in Chicago right now
Crappie Magnet baits are sold everywhere yes.
He says don't think about the next one rite away... that's all I think about
actually, so do I, lol. thx for watching
Nice. Is 18inches below weight about the standard depth for a line?
all depends on the depth fish are feeding; we alter the depth between bobber and bait accordingly each outing until we find the depth the fish are feeding, which is usually slightly higher in the water column then they are situated.

Excellent catches and Stay At'um.....
Crappie Magnet have a nice selection of baits for crappie and trout ( Trout MAGNET)
Public lake or private? Crappie fishing is fun I had my share already possibly more ..limit each time...slabs here in wi
Public of course. We never film our series on private lakes, pits or ponds.
@@ExtremeAnglerTV that's great ..as a fisherman and hunter I dont give props on private lakes or forest ..those can be fed to grow..haha..lake winnebago in wi has em 15+"slabs just about this time ..late spawning
The best bait for Crappie is a minnow!!!
I`d rather not use live bait.
What is shar truse or however u say it
chart/white is my 'go-to' on these hair jigs
I can't help laughing every time he says "eh?" 😂🤣
opps, its a Canadian thing.
Great video👍
thanks very much for watching
What about deeper water like 10-15’ ?
yea that's no problem with using a slip bobber as apposed to using a stationary bobber or cork float; with the slip float you can adjust the depth of the bait to any depth the fish are suspended.
What was the water temp that day?
62 degrees F
So you just use regular jig heads for this technique? What do you think of the ones with the weed guard or better this way?
I know this video is a year old, however, I'm curious as to the what type of real you are using.
here you go bro... www.bnmpoles.com/collections/panfish-reels/products/pro100 , video's like these never get old, only better with age. Thanks for watching.
Probably a stocked pond
actually we have NEVER filmed on any private water and only film on public access lakes across the U.S. & Canada. Thanks for watching
Canadian crappie?? Where is this?? Callem CROPpie in TEXAS.... But on Louisiana?? Sac au lait!! [Means milk sack] great fish.. Great 📹 yummy fish. Show us how ya cookem. Ayyy??
yes sir, Ontario crappie, black crappie to be certain. Our channel has lots of crappie cooking segments, enjoy.
When was this shot and wht was the temperature 🤒
May `18 , water temps 55 degrees F
Hair jigs work great for crappie, I tie my own. Have made videos also about the use of hair jigs.
right on, with so many plastics on the market, the hair jig sort of gets lost in the confusion of which plastic bait to use sometimes.
@Rich B I use deer hair. Thanks for watching FLC.
Where can u buy the jig
Walmart, big box stores on-line, grizzly jig company and on the website link in the video description.
The first two were NOT white crappie as Ken stated. All these fish were obviously black crappie.
all black crappie, yes sir.
I wonder if he's from Canada?... Eh?
You didn't even need 3 guesses, lol. Thx for watching
And by the way...I've fished Cedar Lake in Ontario many times and I will tell you that Canadians are very nice folks...Love it up there
Yeeet
Where can I get some of those jigs and that cork that you are using

Great angler! But being a southern man in usa, the word “A” you use a lot just destroys the English language lol.
A lot of my U.S. friends have different slangs that are well, kinda strange but I still like them too.
Slip corkin' for crappie. No better kind of lake fishing!
sure was fun no doubt.
Why do bass anglers throw back and crappie anglers eat?

U don't use pencil bobbers with a jig, smh
Forgot to read the rule book, lol.
... Um, yeah, clearly it didn't work to catch all those fish. ;-) ... What is your reasoning NOT to use a pencil bobber with a jig?
.
Put a wax worm on that pop-eye 👍
good plan, I will try it next time, thx.
c
Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh.
Canadian eh. Oh, yea and so proud of it.
