Man you two guys were dynamite out there again. Do you fish certain hours of the day or can you catch fish whenever you go? Also would like to know what style plastic that watermelon seed was, seemed to be a great choice.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! We fished from 8:30-3:30 which is about normal for us. We don't get up and go as early as we once did but occasionally we get lucky and have a day like last Thursday. The watermelon seed said is a Charlie Brewer Slider Grub. I generally order them online.
Jim doesn't like to tip with minnows. Most people who push jigs use minnows. Another factor is boat speed. Pushers can go slower and stay over the fish longer. Most long lining is done at 1 mph. By going faster his lines in front tend to swing back towards the front of the boat. If you have ever used live scope you know that crappie can be spooky. I believe and have been told that when the boat approaches the crappie will swim away perpendicular to the boat direction and then as the boat passes by they will move back to where they were. Therefore those trailing jigs pick up fish. We also catch a lot of fish on the long line rods out to the side of the boat. I think that supports the theory of fish moving to the side as the boat approaches. Good question!

What part of the lake and what deep were they at?
South end of the lake. We caught most fish in the 5-10 foot depth range.
Oconnee ga?
Lake Oconee in Georgia
@@crappietrollingcombotechni6150 awesome lake. Built houses in reynolds plantation back in early 2000
@@bp30656 It is a great fishery. Thanks for watching.
@@crappietrollingcombotechni6150 yes sir. I need to fish it one weekend.
It seems your long lining consistently catches more fish than method used by your partner. Why do you think long lining works better?
