This a story from long ago and in Canada. Went on a family walleye fishing trip one Spring to Canada north of MN. At one point, we stopped to fish an emerging weed bed. My brother hooked a minnow...

Wow!! That's a story to tell your grandkids to be passed down thru the generations as a family heirloom!

Enjoy all of your videos. Would suggest having more Livescope screen shots to better see what you see. I learn more from the electronics than the hook sets.

I would put my money on jigs with contrasting colors like black and chartreuse. But then I've lost plenty of bets before.

Love the color of black crappies!! More thumps coming!!

All your son needs to do is catch his first fish and he'll likely be hooked. However, when he's still quite young, just quit fishing when he wants to quit and be patient. Attention spans are short...

My favorite method of bass fishing has been using a plastic worm & dropshot setup on northern natural lakes. However, I haven't tried the dropshot method for crappies on the bottom on southern...

Where I have fished on smaller lakes in MN, I found that there is no such thing as two boats fishing closely together. Once a second boat approaches someone catching fish, it never fails that more...

On my last outing a couple of days ago on a DFW area lake I found all of the crappies I kept and cleaned had empty stomachs (and yet they were still very reluctant to bite my jigs). Hopefully cooler...

Fun tussle. Love your laugh when you saw your catch.

Caught a crappie a couple of days ago using Livescope and released it. Watched it go straight to the bottom of the lake. Once it approached or hit bottom, a large stream of bubbles there were...

Too cool. Such a bonus to witness nature at its best!

Looked like fun. Gorgeous slabs. Loved the golden color.

Great tip on stretching mono to remove line memory. Been fishing with mono nearly all my life and never heard that one before. Will be doing this going forward.

Nice! Where'd you get the crappie.com t-shirt? I figure if I get one and wear it fishing, I too would call in the slabs!!

Well said. Thanks.

There are still some very generous, thoughtful and skilled people in this world. Glad you met one.

Wonderful poem. I think the world would be a better place if poetry like this was shared (and practiced) in our schools and communities. God bless!!

Great story. Even for those of us who are most comfortable being givers and servants, we also need to be humble enough from time to time to let others be givers and servants to us. That way they too...

Thanks for the recommendation Pjn36! I just put in a sizable order with Litewirehooker. Maybe you should get a commission. :fish

Not familiar with Lake Worth. Sounds quite interesting. Mostly keeper size or dinks?

Just a curious question, not looking for spots. What is your favorite crappie lake (or lakes) in the DFW area? I have found Lake Lavon to be my current favorite with lighter boat traffic, good...

My first vertical jigging rods were the ACC 10' rear seat (like you mentioned). Took a little time to get used to the rear seat but love it now. Also have a couple of ACC 12' but I like the 10'...

Nice catch. Livescope rocks! Water temp in the DFW area lakes still at or above 70, with bites 10-12' steadily improving.

Started jig tying after many years idle. Lived in CO many years ago and tied plenty of tiny trout flies. Now in TX and starting to tie crappie jigs. Need a good reasonable source for round painted...

Just a curious question...
In fall fishing on southern reservoirs,what cover do you most focus on (by percent)?
1. brushpiles
2. laydowns / submerged timber
3. bridge pilings
4. docks /...

There are apparently multiple sources for the gas bubbles. Some are even contributed by the fish themselves. Check out this article:
