Crappie fishing with jigs tipped with minnows on Dale Hollow Lake

I traveled to Dale Hollow Lake to do some research for the upcoming Catfish /Crappie Conference Expo. to better help me understand the crappie industry and trends. For the 2023 season, we have introduced crappie fishing vendors to our show and I feel by learning the crappie fishing skills I will be able to create a better show for all. Catfish and Crappie are both make a great cross-over species when it comes to fishermen as both crappie and catfish make excellent table fair and are as equally fun to catch visit us in the spring in Louisville Ky for the 8th Annual Catfish/Crappie Conference Expo.

I have a prop at the bottom of that lake, put 'er in gear and suddenly had nothing. That was an adventure back in the days before cell phones. LOL No reason a person can't fish for other species too. Crappie can be fickle and turn on a dime, I have slayed them half a day on one color and then 30 seconds later they would not touch it, then found a new color they liked and went right back to slaying them. That is your old school trick, change colors if the bite slows.

Steve, it's good to see you on the water no matter what you are fishing for ! Your channel is responsible for getting me "hooked" on fishing channels ! 😀 You are looking very svelte in the bulky hooded sweatshirt, and I congratulate you on your weight loss ! 😉👍👍 I'm fighting the weight battle myself ! 🥵

[@dirtyfish6238]

Need to go up in the coves, not much cover in the big part of the lake.

[@lnrailroad3215]

You need to contact Richard Gene the fishing machine. He's probably the world's best at crappie fishing

[@slange455]

Looks like he doing ok ..don’t need no UA-cam fisherman

[@noahross1548]

Magnolia crappie with the black on their noses

[@ericgriffinoutdoorsandmore7584]

Do you feel like a fish outa water steve? Lol I do believe you can catch whatever you set out to.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

I do LOL

[@jamestboehm6450]

Small jigs and gulp minnows work up here in cold water, fished slow. Live bait is hard to find unless you can find a bait shop open. NE Ohio in the winter isn't a money maker for the great bait shop owners. You southerners have it way to good.

[@Juniorsjigs]

Junior's Jigs would like to send you some jigs to try Steve. Is there an address to send things? I think you'll like them.

[@charlesochler5800]

When in doubt go with a smaller bait.

[@lukethomas3296]

richard gene the fishing machine can teach you how to catch them crappie
