 This just doesn't seem right Borderline ice fishing right here We had a phenomenal day yesterday going out with Kyler. So we're going out again today Really not a huge rush to get out super early because Literally things are just broke so I have to cook up a little Eddie Ray's Dear sausage this morning from this year's harvest gonna go after some Some more muddy water crappies today Kyler says is we're trying to go after a Mando Pretty much everyone we caught yesterday. I thought was a Mando, but The dream the big dream the goal Catch a three. That's what you go for. That's his game. He likes to go after big crappie two plushers Nevertheless, we're gonna have some delicious deer sauces and have ourselves a good old time on the water So stay tuned keep your line tight Nipples hard right there. That's better than coffee and some delicious homemade Double baked apple strudel cookies from OSG making the day better So we're going to be Looking at this little dirtier water. This is the stuff one. I'm an idol around Love the coffee by the way. Oh, yeah coffee out of the thermos. Okay. I see that all right So we're not on the main river work off in a creek like yesterday dirtier water it looks like You who just about the primary attack method Going with the side scan. Yep going side scan looking for the suspendos See a few those are actually pretty good fish right there and even off to the side Those are all the suspended crappie. How do you know they're not other fish? Man mainly just staring at the screen screens a lot even on here a crappie's gonna have more of a round signature You know like that stuff They're you know, they're more of a pill shape Catfish in the same way, but the crappie you're looking for smaller round doc and the big big But the bigger Crappie a lot of times they'll be off by themselves. They usually won't be in school If they are they'll be like a school of fish, but they won't be Or what we want to see a few more numbers like we haven't seen the numbers yet. Yeah, it's a long rain. Yeah Are we gonna go through this ice right now? Probably here in a minute. This is This just doesn't seem right Borderline ice fishing right here. I'll tell you one thing a lot of times it's probably around the edge of this ice Using it as like a piece of cover It's wild Okey-dokey, let's give her a dangle here boys. See if we got any root and tooting dinner plates down Mary Apologize to all my my northern fishing freaks Just have to do it. It's cold enough. It's cold enough. Yeah, it feels like we're in Wisconsin. It fits God her. Oh, no Oh just a little nip-wad That's two nips Miss mine eight yours I got a pause for a bald eagle shot Sorry, there's too much awesomeness going on here. Oh my gosh, it's probably eating a crappie Yet smash that like button for a bald eagle Eating a crappie on a log There's something wrong with you It's definitely taken down some tyranny in its claws. Yeah, they are life scope Either they're the original life scope of the sky The big difference here today is that we're we're seeing individual big fish and They're not everywhere, but yesterday crappie in general were everywhere I didn't really convey that that well, but there were thousands Thousands in the creeks. They look like schools of shad Today we just got like, you know a few but they're all they're all them all keepers all big ins I may need to change I'm gonna change my color Something real crazy here. I'm gonna give them that that pumpkin juice straight up orange and chartreuse looking like a 1988 Trapper Keeper binder to all my 80s kids out there holler. She gonna do it God her Then the little deeper. Yeah, that one felt kind of comfortable Whitehead Eight ounce eight ounce, okay eight ounce chartreuse and Orange crappie monster She's seeing it. She's gonna do it. Here it comes Dude, I just never gets old. It looked bigger. That did look that one there trick me Just learned another intricate deep pro tip right there on The shape of what you're seeing the fish and then the the hard signature In comparison to your your bait and the fish so comparing those two things if your baits faint and the fish You're seeing a hard signature, then you're off. You want them both to be hard There she's seen it Go and get it Got her dead stick Dead sticking That's a decent one the nice ones This isn't looking bad It's going pretty slow some big ones on the bottom Yep, you're gonna do it Mm-hmm Yes, sir Love to see it Hammer Look at that schnauzberry right there now. Oh my goodness y'all The dead stick I'm just barely getting away with this eight foot rod That's my that's my first bite, but it seems like a 10-foot rod is definitely even more key today because of I Didn't I didn't move this lure at all like my rod tip and never moved it I had to swing it just right and that fish turned around and followed it a little bit with the 10 footer Or even a 12, you know, you can just leave it out there sit it right above them And then they'll just give them more time, you know, it's kind of like a suspending jerk bait Suspending jerk bait gives a bass a lot of time to come and get it Same thing. You're just suspending the bait over their heads a lot easier with a 10 footer I'll crop you too. Got him dude You're a badass Like just watching you do this every time never gets old This this fish is Yeah, but it's it's like moving with us Hey, you pick them out you caught it. I did I did Come on baby don't don't do that. She's probably gonna want a little little Slow sinker. What do you think? Look at that shit the size of the shad Those were like gizzard shad. Yeah, that's what we got a lot of you might want to deep up and crank bait Gosh Come on darling thing is like you just have to have something that suspends right over your head. Uh-huh That's the deal locked in y'all so This is the fish Stick and put you can see his jig going down. He's basically trying to stroke it over her back She has not reacted yet. Not yet. We're gonna stay with her for a minute Through the bait changes The rod changes Look and got her imagine what that other one was That other one was a hammer Nicely done man All right So she liked the old hoppy hop hoppy hop got her moving. Yep leader White crappie suspended out in the opens and Just to reiterate we're we're in a bigger creek than we were yesterday, but it's still still Creek We're pretty much in the middle and the fish are suspended bald eagle flying Sign of the American spirit flopping crappie on the deck of the boat Hallelujah, can I get a like button please? Good twink Think that'll make a up to you Not getting the oh, yeah See how much bigger So right now y'all I think we have about six or seven We're gonna stay here try to pick off a few of these timber all around us with small crappie and Then these bigger ones are just like suspended in the open water It's almost like the bigger ones know to get away from the timber and they're in their safe zone. They think Not with Kyler up there There is no safe Oh, yeah That's lab. Let's go down there. Look at the black tail any old black outline. It's the first one caught. It's really got That's neat when you get over 15 you start to get those little marks I'm gonna try a little something here The cow old is a 14-inch crappie. Oh You up here probably four years. Oh, oh, yeah, come on and get you some Why I'm on the grub change. Oh, yeah Come here, you old big biscuit you man That was cool dreams is like yep. Yeah, I want that. I want that Hey guys, it's so cool. It's so cool to watch that happen So a lot of the times when you when you see the fish on the life scope and if they just stay in place What Kyler is saying is they probably didn't even see the bait, but they usually will react in some way When you know, they're gonna eat it basically they'll they'll turn just turn their bodies around and start following it But sometimes they may have not seen it. So you just pitch in there again Until until you get them to react in some way and then that could be swimming off But if they shake their body, they do this weird thing you got to be dialed You got to be looking at this thing for a long time the life scope to see it But they'll do like this little body shimmy and it's like they get excited Something's coming in. I want to eat it and you just got to present it the right way So a little grub change and to an eighth ounce made a little slower plus the rod change made a little easier to get that one There's a little one coming Yeah, little one got her activated. She's gonna do it. Got her. Oh My gosh, what a hug. Chuck She's built right too. She is built right. She is built She got them apple bottom jeans. Yeah, everything ever you see a fish that's built like that has that nice big Tall back rod They get that's what was it big bro. Yeah, but This is big she's gonna get. Oh, here's one Okay, yeah She's on it She's gonna come do it Got her, baby Come here fat Sally Whoo, dude, I did that I did the pullback and everything Yeah, baby I felt like I nailed it on that was one with it on that one my friends Came up here how to learn from Kyler Giving me the low-down lessons half the time I just I just watch it Just trying to Copy what he's doing. It's been a while since I've been out with somebody and had to do that just to figure it out But my gosh that one right there. That's my most accomplished fish So far it's like they lock into it and follow it. She's gonna do it. She's nosing About to happen three two got her Good Excellent work Excellent work. He went right left followed her. She stopped he pulled back kept it on top It there's a moment where you kind of know where they start to follow it. I've noticed I start to follow me Yeah, I was holding that rod up here. Yeah, you had like four foot Oh my gosh, that one's got her there man. So you guys what what just happened is that little What is that a 16th or that 30 second 32nd? Yeah, 32nd ounce jig on a Split shot. Yeah, that is that's fat. That's that's a slab broad So chain changed up to that first one. Yeah, cuz these these fish have been getting a little tricky these bigger ones That's a good one right there certified fat slab Oh My gosh, I did not feel that at all Cruffy time Whoa, look at this man. It's the hole in that you're gonna come fish I guess pictures of that look at that. I've never seen that you guys look at this There is a hole in that fish Like what happened in its young life where it overcame? Well, it dodged one bullet, but it's not dodging the grease. Sorry buddy. I'm going in 2024 Croppy now they are digging the little hand ties. I think it's the pink and chartreuse Yeah, and then pink marabou pink marabou with some Chanel on there 132nd ounce and then I'm gonna guess an 8th ounce little split shot on there about About a foot above eight inches to a foot above The difference is with using this you can barely feel Really the two of the bites I haven't even felt you just watch them come up and grab it on the screen But they were definitely digging this little smaller schnoozle here yesterday. We were throwing big baits now We're downsizing getting a lot more bites Common common That is not thought I'm telling you now that one has some shoulders Yeah, yeah, perfectly hooked That just dinner plate gosh to freaks We're at number 29 right now all studs muddy water stud cakes crappie being crappie right now The last one Also being pretty picky Got her on the doodle double rig. That is the ball game Wopped off Bam that's 30 in the dirty it's been a dang good day of crappie fish Tyler does this all the time So he's he's got enough. I'm assuming you're just gonna let me yeah It's gonna be a big family fish fry coming up here senior Absolutely smashed them the the weight per fish today. It was definitely bigger and We went up and fished a little different area some muddier water As Kyler predicted there'd be some bigger ones and almost all more females. Yeah, right big suspended females The life-scoping game changer, but it's not just having that I have it on my boat You have to know what you're doing and then practice practice practice practice practice if you want to be as good as Kyler If me and him are just fishing a tournament today, you know, I probably would have had I don't even know if I would have gotten a limit Let's put it that way. He would have had a limit and probably three hours and then would have been calling The rest of the day very very impressive. It's been a while since I've actually been this impressed by fishing with another person So My guy come in here again if you want to follow him on social media, you do any tips or anything on your socials So your Instagram that's gonna be linked down below. I just want to thank you dude for showing me so much Absolutely, I came I came up here to learn Having the fish as a bonus obviously and catching so many but just to learn the life-scope To to another level Blow it away. So I need to go practice. Yeah, and it worked out good because we got a day where it's calm Yeah, we got a day with wind. So yeah, I see that it's not just a calm day kind of thing It's not just you need wind to do it. You can do it a gentle a little breeze is nice 20 mile an hour winds Maybe not. Yeah, a little breeze helps and that is the end of this crappie journey, man guys if you have questions Leave comments down below. You got to smash the like button This is the best crappie trip I've ever had is an eight hour journey up here But totally worth it not just because of the the catching the catching was awesome But just learning, you know Kyler's he's an actual pro. He fishes tournaments And does pretty well. So I knew I knew he had a lot of knowledge to share But I didn't know it was gonna be that much. I learned a ton I hope you did too and I cannot wait to take this stuff that I learned and take it back to Texas I hope you enjoyed another episode this time on the crappie dangle And this is a special one.
