 Ladies and gentlemen, look at that right there. That is a bass Look at that DHQ Googan HQ. That's what I love about Texas. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the channel We are gonna do some graphing today in the depths looking for the white perch the speckled Sackle eye the crappie recently we went and planted some crappie houses in a private lake today We're going out on a big public lake. The rain's been really bad up here There's not a lot of lakes that have clear water right now, so I'm going to the biggest body of water I have close by and I'm gonna look out in the deeps talking probably 20 30 Maybe even 40 feet of water and look for brush piles look for drops ledges look for places Crappie are gonna be and then I want to try out some of my new dangle poles and Some heavier jig heads and try to get down there and use a couple of different techniques to try and catch some crappie today So in the truck and then venture wagon. We are loaded down with some some of our new poles I'm gonna be going over some of those as we get out there We also got mr. Rob out on the lake today. I've already spoke to him He is going bass fishing. He'll figure out one day that the big bass a big old puppies They're hanging around him crappie. Don't believe me used to happen all the time on fork crappie anglers be reeling in their little crappie Menon that's got a you know two-pound crappie attach what by am 13 to 15 pounder shop manager grant Crappie fishing the other day on the lake. I'm going to what by am 10 pounder on his men are anybody Just saying find the crappies you find the Mondos Here's my old buddy lunkers TV. Get me a little back in Appreciate the help hashtag lunkers TV help a lot of foundations Don't count it out There's some good stuff out here being lunkers TV The dueling skittoros It's turning out to be a nice afternoon. Thank you Lord It's been such terrible weather And I'm gonna do just a lot of looking y'all if this might be a boring a boring one This is where you just want to get yourself some snacks get a little hydration and Just look at the graph and mark mark mark mark mark mark mark and then I'll probably get a new boat in another year and all these awesome waypoints They're gonna be Because I forget to put a chip in here and save up to that I think the person that's getting my last silver bullet is definitely getting a few little bonus nuggets in there But anyway, I'm so impressed with electronics How clear it is and it is fun to just sit there and stare at them And see what's what's down there. What's really down there just dropping off into 30 There's a lot of activity out here A lot of fish, so I'm seeing out there. There's Rob I think he's heading off into other parts of the lake. This is a nemesis lake for me. Never done well out here Ray Roberts huge lake. I Desperately want to figure it out. I Want to figure it out so I can you know, it's not too far away from our our headquarters Can come out here in 20 minutes But man, you can get lost out here for days. There's so much water Ladies and gentlemen, look at that right there. That is a bass Look at hang on. Let me just zoom in here Excuse me That is a profile of a bass if I have ever seen one that is incredible This is incredible this technology so on some of the old maps and There's a lot of lakes like this It will show where the state has put out they call them fish attractors It's basically brush piles and sometimes I put them in before the lake is even made I'm not sure which is the case here, but I just looked up general areas where they are and I'm running with the side scan Where we launched was really muddy Where I ran into this other arm the water is pretty clear and Roger's let me know he had like a four-pounder he lost so that's that's good news Really liking this bank where they're supposedly like a dozen a dozen brush piles Or fish attractors somewhere down in this area So I'm just gonna run this bank with the side imaging and see if I can find anything interesting There's there's also some standing timber Along the bank and I am seeing quite a bit of shad In this area. It's a big Creek arm, so it's got the potential to hold a lot of different fish throughout the year and we just ran up on one So this is definitely one of those huge massive piles right here. I mean just monstrous just look at that beastly beastly brush So I'm gonna go over this a little bit and see if You don't see how big it is and maybe just drop something on down there for them crap is Oh, come on. Tap it Sitting right there next to it. Oh gosh You whacked it. I'd love to know what you are What do you are down there thought we had our first customer turns out to be my old friend the white bass got a little group of them here off this point and I'm just gonna work this spoon above them see what's if I think there's a crappie down there Just the way they looked on the graph Another one just tapped it. Oh dig it Might need to go to to an actual jig Try some new tackle here some of this stuff. I got at the fun and sun tackle show He's a well first of all I'm using the rods But this bonehead Jig heads been reading about these for crappie. They look pretty good. I've got a sickle style Hook on them. I've used the sickle style hooks before. I don't seem to mind them fish don't seem to mind them Because the idea is you keep them pegged a little better And we're gonna try a new little trailer here That's the guy what his best-selling color was or what he thought the best color was and it was this right here This is like Basically look like a dag on candy corn use a 10-pound braid and then I've got a six-pound Pluricarbon attachment here. I'm just gonna go wheel dual wheeled here. Man. I got signatures all over it Should we get whacked? Okay time for a different hole. I think hooked up right away. Geez Well, that didn't take long All right when I got on the good the goods Here it goes. Oh a drum ski Well, what in the hill? Absolutely smoked it, too That's not what I wanted exciting, but It's not juice 25 feet down They're not actually on the brush file They're right behind it. I found them I'm just not able to Get them to bite pull the drum out of the group But I don't know what it is They're being very fickle feel very confident that those are crappie signatures the way I'd originally marked them on the Back graph and then came back over them and just the way they're staying here just stick and put In a tight group, but I've tried the jig. I've tried I've tried the jigging spoon They don't want it. This is a tough one today that told myself I was gonna dedicate To trying to find these scrappie out here and dad again. That's what I'm doing the top of the pile was kind of high It was like well feet high But on the edges it seemed like they were there and got a drop This bank looks really good fast I'm gonna resist the temptation though. I want to dial the crappie. I think I'm gonna go back to the original big one that I marked Well, y'all it is a beautiful sunset out there at least Probably blinded by it, but I'm out on a ledge here 40 feet of water not a ledge. I'm sorry It's a point you can see like an island right there And I'm gonna take this depth stalker. I've just marked a bunch of fish down here. They're suspended Over open water, so I think some of them are a white bass, but I just want to I just want to have a little fun here Looks like we got a fish on our bait right now. Come on. Oh I felt him. I bumped him actually with That's that's insane. I could feel that but he got right next to my bait. I bumped it and I hit him about four or five fish Close to my bait. Oh, I would say this nemesis lake of mine continues to be that Boy, what a tough Tough old bag of corn cobs. This one is Got them fish don't even want to be caught down there Just don't want to be caught Rutherford and corn cobs y'all My thirst for the knowledge of the crappie is high You know, I do I've done bass fishing early year bass fishing for I mean gosh like 15 years like pretty hard I Want to try doing crappie fishing in the early season and I know it could be really good. I've decided I'm going to Go meet up with some professionals I've gotten an invite to go do something and I want to learn as much as I can and I'm gonna do a A little tour in February where I'm trying to catch a crappie I'm gonna take the crispy collector with me, but I'm gonna go learn. I'm gonna take you guys along with me from some pros And we can we can unlock the secret secrets together because the secrets were hidden today They heard in some of those piles and I could not get everybody. I just wasn't it Whatever the course of the next couple months I will be doing more days like this where I just go out and I'm looking at electronics I'm looking. I'm learning. I'm gonna learn how to Find these crappie and then when I find them learn how to catch them And I think I'm gonna learn more about bass as I'm doing that But I've always just focused on bass on the early part of the year and even though the graph I was looking at today so amazing. It was it was crazy. I can see that bass down there I've seen catfish literally you can identify species and I'm learning to identify the crappie The way they're grouped up together and size and everything like that, but there's other technologies out there, too That is even more amazing and in real time like life scoping That's something I want to get into this year and if y'all want to see that Let me know down in comments a point here You're seeing where the fish are and you know exactly where to cast a farther away. They are see real-time your actions Most units most graphs have real-time sonar, but it's not as dialed where you can know the direction It's just a broad cone and that's all you got and thank you mucho for staying tuned for each and every one of these blogs God bless you. I'll see you
