    Of all the fishing videos on youtube, I enjoy your s the most. Your videos are dirt-practical, great how-to content, and I enjoy your talking through tons of tips. The funny thing is, sometimes when I'm fishing and using one of your tips, I hear your voice while I'm doing it! Keep on filming!

    This is the best way to enjoy new fishers getting started.. Nothing like watching the excitement of a 3-4 y/o when the bobber drops!!!

    Hey Boss man , Here is a tip for you . You might even want to pass it on . If you are fishing with a slip bobber from the bank, tie you another slip knot on your line below your bobber and slide it down to your sinker. 9 out of 10 time if you get hung and break off the line will break where that sinker is. That slip knot above the sinker will help save your bobber. Great video :-)

    I've watched a lot of videos on to rig a slip bobber and yours was, by far, the most easily understood method. I'm now confident that I can rig my lines myself for my first solo fishing trip tomorrow. By the way, I really enjoyed watching you fish. I grew up as a tomboy fishing with my daddy every chance I got. He can't fish anymore so I'm gonna have to fish off the bank. And thanks to you I know my rigs will hold up well. Thanks so much!!!

    Thanks for the vid Richard. Slip-floats are my go to method. I’m a bank/dock fisherman, so not having a fish finder and not knowing their depth is time consuming to say the least, But once I do it’s on and poppin’ 😁👍🏽

    My favorite type of crappie fishing I love using a bobber. Funny thing about it if I have to wait an extra 10 minutes to see my doctor i get fidgety but i can set there all day and wait watching for a hit on a bobber lol. Thanks for the video Richard and God bless.

    Great tip for the sliding stop. With your stop it’s that much less you have to have in the tackle box and you’ll never run out of stops.
    Nice video, thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

    Sweet slip bobber video! I've got 2 of them Boss slip floats and they are extremely sensitive, hooked on 4lb high vis and a 5'6" rod. Absolutely love this set up! Caught my PB Crappie early in the fall, 15 1/4", on this exact set up! Was an eerie rainy day that day and my wife said I was crazy.... crazy for Crappies🖒. Thanks for the great video Mr. Crappie King!

    Thank you Richard for this great tutorial. i've been wanting to try slip bobber fishing for about 6 months, and everyone i've seen say's to use those big bobber stoppers, and they always get caught in the eyelets for me, and always moved the depth, and i could just never get it to work, but you took your time to show us how, and i cant thank you enough friend.

  • @HookLineSinger

But I was compelled to Shazam your music, learned it’s Michael Flory, went to the iTunes store, listened to samples of each track, and have just downloaded 5 of them. May go back for a couple more I’m currently on the fence about but might grow on me. Yet something else for me to thank you for, so, thanks bro!

    @joshgrimes9554 7 років тому +2

    Good honest video, and it kind of hits home. No stranger here to this technique. I love it in the winter and hot summer also. And at night with bait attractor lights when the shad group up off channels. When the crappie are really grouped up "on occasion" I can catch them even quicker (and bigger ones) on a long pole and a "smelt" berkley power minnow with a bigger longer shank jig. Great video again Richard Gene! Love it, keep em' coming. Like always, My problem is Finding where them crapppie is at! Things change week to week throughout the year.

    Richard, I live in Maryland and though the Crappie fishing up here is no where close to what you enjoy but never the less your insights have been a great learning process for me. The Boss slip float is no longer being marketed however I did find the company of the owner who invented them and lucky for me I was able to purchase twp this afternoon. Thank you for your enjoyable videos.

  • @fuzzyfultz
    @fuzzyfultz 7 років тому +4

    Another good video Richard. Good to see you fishing with the slip bobbers. I have been experimenting with several bobber stops. I have found a rubber football type stop to work well so far. I have also found the Thill bobbers to work best for me. They are balsa wood and if you watch closely on line you can get them cheap, especially right now. I would like to see your take on some of the double hook rigs. I have tried a few and i like a barrel swivel onn top and a slip shot on the bottom method. This allows you to to switch out weights as you need for the different depths. Here in my part of the crappie fishing world, brush is always a large factor in your rigs and presentations. A lot of folks use 30 lb braid (spider wire yellow high vis) with your rig presentation tied on an 6-8 lb leader. This allows you to free your rig from the brush without loosing your set up and a lot of line most times. Once again, thank you for your videos Sir. God bless and please keep them coming. MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!

  • @mikemiranda1154
    @mikemiranda1154 7 років тому +3

    I use a piece of small , thin rubber band tied to line instead of using a bead and piece of mono tied to string. You can slide this for fishing depth and will pass thru eyelets also. Keep on fishing coz it’s good fer ya.😎
    Good vids and enjoy the learning. Thank you

    Hi richard. It's Jason again. It took me a few tries but I was able to get a hand tied bobber stop done up just like you do. I'm gonna test it out later in a lake. The lake was recently restocked due to a spillway rebuild. Trout are keepers but the largemouth and sunfish have to stay. I am excited to see how this method works for all of em. Thank ya Richard for all ya do. 👍

    Awesome video yea I've used that bobber Love them. Mine come with the small red bait golder hooks for brim. But I love crappie fishing with them. I had a good bit 10 years ago got in Michigan. Now I got 1 left so haven't used been setting in my tackle box of bobbers for 5 years since I lost the 2nd to last one lol. Gave away a few over the years they liked them also. Thanks for sharing and them some nice crappie I made a vidoe cleaning some had 5 over 12 in. We got a lake being drained and if you get in small boat and head out to the left people are getting there limits in hours. And some big ones. It's been to cold for me but I really want to go back out. But for now fishing under the bridge at the spill way there fixen to fix it broke after the flood last March bad flood. Warshed out the road was closed almost a year. Well thanks for sharing. God bless.
