Now that's the fishing i like no gadgets. Just plain fishing. Me and my wife went this morning and caught 8 big catfish. We love using just pole and bait.
Great tutorial, you touched base on some valuable details, limbs touching the water, in and out of pockets in the cattails, but most of all slow and methodical. I've waded in flooded timber, can be very productive. Would like to see more. Tell your buddy 3 or 4 zip ties on the bottom of the basket will eliminate the loss of fish. Keep the film rolling!!!
Agreed! I hate to say it but some of these angers get stuck to their livescope and can't remember how to bring in 20+ fish without it lol not saying Ken is that guy buuuuuuuut I think it's good to show everyone how to do it without any gadgets, show you how find them just by structures in water and working the water from banks. It's possible I do it all winter/spring just working bridges, trees, docks, and banks bringing home 30 fish
Most fisherman can't get enough of a visual topwater bite. While I like any bite I can get, I've always craved that bump & nudge of slow finesse fishing
Hey man!! Just really wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time out to wish me a happy birthday!! I was sick with the virus but on the mend now... and to know you were out of town when you did it makes it that much more amazing! I really appreciate you man, and will do everything I can to promote your channel, buy merch, and hopefully we can link up one day and get up on some donkeys! GOD BLESS! Thanks again to you and to management!! Lol!
Bro! Didnt know you were sick man. Glad youre feeling better. That aint the best way to celebrate a birthday but man you were blessed to see another one. We appreciate the support brother. God bless you and yours man!
@@HookCityTV right on bro i understand that man. My dads days are running short on me with his health declining so keep in kicking it with you pops long as you can bro. Tight lines and Blessings to you and yours
Come to Louisiana caddo lake cross lake black bayou reservoir and more. I've caught multiple 2+ loaded with eggs. I caught 4 nice females under 1 of my shallow pocket docks about 2-3 foot deep small males pecking around cypress trees 4-6 feet this afternoon. Wind was about 15 off main lake tho. Tough fishing very slow purple pink jig black beetle spin head 1/8.
You guys ought to try a fly rod with a rubber legged Corky popper. It's lots of fun! My dad showed me a trick. When you catch your first crappie then the other people fishing with you rub their lures on that fish. Get lots of fish slime on them.... Watch What Happens!
Definitely a great time just wish the catching was better. It is alot better now. They come to the same areas every year. Time on the water is King in the spring. I've scouted other areas and have done very well. If I didn't I would have thought the spawn was done. Thanks to Chris and Ken for making the drive out and hope to do it again.
Hey Ken, meet you the other night on Chris’s channel. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone catch crappie like that. Enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing more. 👍🏼 I might actually start crappie fishing a little more. Lol
Good to meet you man! Wading is an experience if nothing else. lol. Get on those crappie, but be warned you'll find yourself buying more crappie rods and jigs. Ive seen it happen too many times. lol. Ill check out your channel also!
Look like Mark need another basket....LOL I was telling Chris y'all mighty found some just behind y'all.... those fish will back out.... I'll leave that wading to y'all..... To many gators down here.....Stay At'um....
HAHAHA I was too far to hear what happened, but seeing the fish actually falling out of the basket was hilarious. I thought they fell out while the basket was in the water. If nothing else really enjoyed the fellowship my friend! Good show bud, good show.
I subscribed but gotta say 3:30 seconds before you wet the hook is a bit long for an intro. If you kept the intro under 1 minute before you wet the hook it would have been easier to watch. If you want to work in the gear details merge it in the middle of the video somewhere after you catch a few to break up the monotony of just talking for 3 minutes in the intro. Overall I like the content, but that would help a bit more in making it easier to watch without having to skip around.
Real! If I can't drive up to the bank and sit on my car hood or there's no pier- count me out too. Two too many experiences, I know somebody's going to say, "punk", but I'll be a LIVE, UNINJURED punk lol. Had to add on, unidenitifiable snakes are an issue for me too.
Wading and bank videos are my favorite. Gotta love the basics

He had it fixed in no time. The zip ties work well though.
Pro tip: carry them rods facing backwards so you don't break the tips off when you trip!
I would like to see you do more bank/shore fishing the thick stuff 👍🏼
Its hard to get out the boat but ill try

Putting that slumber svent on your bait after the first fish is a old one. My uncles still do that to this day. Lol
@@HookCityTV wise old men!

Love to see some more waders!
Nice video!! Not too much footage about wading for spawning crappie! 👍👍
Great time to use a cane pole brother!! That old school shit is always the best

Brother, I will be there again. Might hit you up next week. Need to watch the weather but that was a blast.
You're in my spot! I been fishing that spot for years. Started out tube fishing that area then started wading it.
I hollered when those fish went thru the basket! He didn't even realize it!!
Lol... they were being saved for pictures. Oh well. Haha
Enjoyed it Ken! That’s how it is ,They’re not always jumping in the boat! Wait y’all weren’t in a boat! 😂 Nice job !
Cool!!!!! I’ve been having waders sitting in my Amazon cart for weeks and wondering if I’d ever actually do it!
Safety first. Be careful of holes, soft mud, and underwater obstructions
Good Vibes man! subscribed look forward to 🎣
WELCOME TO THE CITY! Thanks for the support man
Really nice Ken how you change up and also fellowship with the brothers God bless you
Waiders!

funny thing is I said the same thing. Wanted to try a popping cork but it was a long way through the water back to the truck
Where are you fishing with the water that muddy and vehicle traffic so close to the water?
Rasheed gotta hookup to cookum salaam peace
Electric chicken been a hot hitter this spring in that muddy chris on dem tree slabs😁
LOL Yep, I caught the winning Tree Bass. LOL
No one fell -- good day
RIGHT, lol
Robert Johnson,
Did you sell your soul at the crossroads to be able to catch Crappies?
Huge fan ! Is it true u use dark jigs for dark water ?
Thanks for the support man. And yes I go with darker baits in dirty water. Especially with a pink or orange head
Good video
Love your videos man. Plus, anyone ever say you sound like Charles Barkley?
Lol. Never heard that 1.
Looks interesting
What were you guys using to catch them?
Just various jigs. No minnows
Watch out for snakes and ticks!
The only one that brought a basket
I didnt have any plans to keep fish, but i did want to take pics with a few
I gotta try that type of fishing,"wade fishing.
That’s so cool
Nice....
great video. how many time do crappie Spawn during the year and it the same in all states or different? thanks
I believe its spring and fall
once a year in the spring. Nothing ive read or discovered says they spawn more than once
East Texas got alot of Gators
true, all of tx really. even here in north tx there are plenty of them
where yall at ? I fish local all the time
This was an east tx lake
@@HookCityTV thanks I live in tyler so what technique would you recommend for finding crappie from the bank
More waders
I'll get back in them in the spring
What month and date was this?
March of 2020
Man y'all should have put them life jackets on. 2ft can go to 10ft quick!
true, thats why we went with Mark, he has waded this area for years and knows the landscape
where all my TEXAS boys at ???????? Abilene Texas here .
Where are you fishing?
East Tx
Hey what area are you fishin i live in Euless and need to get on some nice crappie, im a big catfisherman here in dfw!!
This is east tx. My home lake in lake Arlington. They are spawning there as well
Hey ken you mind telling me where this is
we were in cedar creek
Thank you again fishing ken hope to make the trip soon to cedar creek lake
I’m new to Texarkana. I did alot of wade fishing back home in Louisiana. Wouod like to get some info on some places here I can wade fish
Nice video as Always bro👍. Where did you get your waders? I have a hard time finding my size since I’m a big guy
academy!
HAHAHA I was too far to hear what happened, but seeing the fish actually falling out of the basket was hilarious. I thought they fell out while the basket was in the water. If nothing else really enjoyed the fellowship my friend! Good show bud, good show.
Yeah basket is fixed now with zip ties lol
@@MarkWilliams-yx7bx HA HA I will bring my own. Don't trust ya! LOL Was fun brother.
Waders!!!!
Yeeeet !!!!
Heck yea ... first
What about the spring moccasin and cottonmouths?
was just thinking the same thing!! I couldn't do it....haha I'll stick with my boat!!
they are there. But so are drunk drivers and street racers. Say a prayer and get er done man!
Hey sir with the live scope from farming if your in 6 to 12 foot of water how far could you see in front of you
easily 50 ft. But it gets pixellated, as long as you know what youre looking for 60ft isnt bad just distorted
Thank you buddy I appreciate that
dam fellows what can I say
Lost that fish off the bottom of that basket. That’s what you get for bumping Chris out of his fishing spot. Lol
lol, it wasnt a bump... it was a nudge
Do you think may is still a good month to creek fish for crappie? I'm speaking of bank fishing lake cypress and lake fork.
Yes
You get them at night.???
From time to time we do
What month is this.
How deep is the water there
Bout 2ft.
What color do you use in clear water?
natural dark colors mostly. Also try bobby garlands monkey milk, blue ice, and wht/chartruese
@@HookCityTV thank you!
What about snakes
They are there for sure. Just be prepared when they decide to act up
I always ziptie my bottom door closed on my basket
me too when i use one
Went out today and got skunked in the murky water...
Where can I ask questions? Email wise.
hctvtoo@gmail.com
Hahaha how yall lost them crappie 🤣🤣
terrible wasnt it
Waders
Spiders?!... no thanks, I'll fish from the kayak.
Saludos a migo eselente

Naww I’ll pass on that...Seen to many 10ft+ gators in my life fishing in south Louisiana..
