    Man my friend, I’m a 64 year old white man who has fished all my life bass fishing. As I’ve gotten older I’ve lost my touch a little on catching bass so I’ve turned my interest toward crappie fishing. I’ve been following you and others to pick up tips from the experts. Thks for all you do in teaching and taking time to help others be successful on the water.
    I love seeing you spending time w/ your father, fantastic!
    You have a great personality about you, a clean show with Christian values that kids can sit in on too.
    Keep on keeping on! Throughly love what your bringing to the table.
    God Bless! 😎🇺🇸

    I like the Bobby Garlands; I rig them like the good Mr. Richard Gene recommended on UA-cam. Jig head, tooth floss, super glue, and slide the jig on (gotta do it all FAST) with a squirt of fish attractor. I probably catch 8-12 crappie before I need to swap jigs. My go to colors are blue ice and neon pink. Berkeley Power Bait works is always great but I only get that when it's on sale - expensive stuff. It's always great to hear what others are doing, what their favorites are, and how they use it. Thank you sir.

    On the Tiny Flukes if the crappie want a smaller bait you can cut some of the head off the bait 1 3/4 to 2 inches works great... so cut off 1 to 1 1/4 inch and they will eat it up sometimes...

    I like the softness of the Bobby Garlands, but they def have to be glued 100%. The Jokers are also customizable. You can cut them up different ways for different looks and actions. Same with any curly tail.
    I still have some of those 3" powerbaits. If you're in a boat on top of crappie they're probably alright. But man, fishing blind with no electronics from the bank or barge, they'll get you everything but a crappie somehow

    I know you didn't cover what I'm gonna talk about, but in several of your videos, I've seen you using what looks like a large book, with all of these plastic holders that you've filled with different Crappie lures (jigs). That's a really smart idea! I love it! Always make sure that you keep that book in a cool, dry place. I know that that's a no-brainer, but, if you think about it, look at the old plastic tackle boxes of the past, and think about the way that, if you're going through hot weather, the sun beating down on the tackle box can literally melt the rubber bodies of the artificial worms & such. I've seen it happen personally, and, of course, when that happens, you have to go back to the store, and re-buy those same kinds of artificial lures all over again! That definitely runs you into a good bit of money! I've had to learn that lesson the hard way! The old saying is true:"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"! Thanks for the new video, hope you're feeling well, and God bless you and your family and your Friends!

    Fish do see color but not like us. You pick your colors based on the clarity of the water along with sun light or light in general to help them see it. The earth rotates 24/7 so when the bite slows on one color try another. Anyway good video and good store.

I take my Mr. Crappie and Bobby Garland baits and put them in the Berkley scented liquid and that works real well. Give it a try if you haven't already. BTY....

    Have you tried Kenders lures? The jig heads and some of the actual lures are made from tungsten so the profile is small but all the weight you need to cast. Popular in the northern midwest for ice fishing. Also check out Nikko baits, these are Japanese lures that are a bit different than what we are use to using. Small crankbaits and spinnerbaits catch bass sized crappies! In bass fishing, you use dark lures in stained water because it cast a dark silhouette and the fish can see it better just as you would use bright colors in clear water which has a similar effect. BTW great video, information, and thanks for more motivation for me to get my butt in gear and make the move to Big Tex real soon! Gone get those realistic minnows man!

    Bruh I am a Powerbait user, I use them for Bass and pan fish, I rarely even use live bait anymore.

    For all these, would you simply use a 1/16 unpainted head?

    • @HookCityTV
      @HookCityTV  5 років тому +1

      that will work. I also keep a variety of colors, both with and without eyes. Not that they are necessary, just what i like. Pink and orange are my favorite colors for heads
