I ain't saying much, but someone hollered Brandon at the bridge lol

Big slabs ! Glad I found your channel! Liked ! And subscribed! Great fisherman! But also a great guy ! Peace buddy !

Great 😃👍 catch learning a lot about crappie fishing 🎣 thanks 🙏❣️

Awesome video Brandon, I'm about the same way, I'll go out of my way and check out the wildlife, man you've got to enjoy what God has put on this Earth, Thanks for sharing brother

Brandon when I hook up a minnow I like to open the mouth and go through the roof between the nostrils. This allows the minnow to take in water with an open mouth and increases the life and action. Try it some time. I live in Muscle Shoals 3 minutes from Wilson Dam. I would love to crappie fish with you some time. Great channel and awesome videos. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing wrong with that!! Good fishin and great video!! Headed up to Tims in the morning to see what I can do with these new BLF rods.

Awesome video. Slip bobber setups are easy and effective. I’ve used them under docks, on brush piles and around bridges. Very versatile.

Great video I am in Indiana and that's my favorite way for Crappie too always successful so what Reservoir is that down south?

Nice video brother 👍👍

We used to be able to fill up a 5 gallin bucket of blue gill every once in a while at my granpas pond but we had a creek bed start holding water and that's how we got the fastest otters in Mississippi and no more fish

Barley into video but can tell I'll learn something just by your demeanor...

Do you have a video available to show your setup in depth.

This was a very nice video! I have a question I could not find on KZread. So when you tie your leader line with the fluorocarbon line, what type of knot do you use to the swivel. I use the double line uni knot to the hook so i won't break off. Should I tie that same knot to the swivel? What is your opinion. I have broken off using the palomar knot to the hook using the fluorocarbon line.

You are 100% right about otters.

Know some guys that run a private lake/lodge over in western Alabama. They started finding giant dead bass carcasses around the lake I’m talking 7+ pound bass and come to find out it was otters that had moved in. They can be bad news for sure. Thanks for watching!

Any size will work just don’t use so much weight that it sinks the float obviously. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Can use slip bobber without leader line?

We all neglect this Tried And True Method All to often for catching A Good Crappy Dinner, Jigs Are just easier than keeping Minnows alive, The one time I really like Minnows is night fishing with the Green lights, once you get Them turned on and biting you can switch Up And Use A jig some too,,,

What lake are fishing on Brandon?

I would like to see a tutorial on how you got that hook out, I get a lot of fish that swallow my hook under 10 inches an I would like to learn how to get it out without pulling out there guts.

Advice? Starting to crappie fish a bit. Went today lake down 16 feet. All the brush piles I know are out of water. Most docks are on land as well. What other structure can I target?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

Lot of variables come into play here. What part of the country are you in? Water temp? Water clarity? Does your lake have any standing timber or brides? That might be a good place to check. Rock ledges will also hold crappie this time of year if there’s not much wood structure in a lake.

@@BrandonLesterFishing Thanks. Kentucky. 60 water temp. Slightly stained water. I tried a little standing timber and did drop the scope on a bridge and did not see any. I will keep at it. Mostly tournament bass fish, but would enjoy fillin the freezer from time to time. Need to devote time to electronics and find some cover and structure. I caught two today off lay downs in 2 feet or less. Only one crappie per target is kinda odd.

Spring and fall around any structure that you see off of Bank

What lake you on?

Those otters will strip the Goldfish right off of a trotline

Pro tip - minnows die faster if you get them with your hand , and not a dip net

They can be mean too..

I don't get why you don't like otters for the fish population, it's good to have some predators that like to eat Baitfish, it keeps the Baitfish bigger since all the small ones usually get eaten. There was a Lake where they did an experiment with flatheads to see if they'd eat all the Baitfish, and all that happened was the Baitfish got bigger as a result, it's good to have a healthy amount of predators in your local waters, otherwise it will get overrun by Baitfish since they reproduce so much, which is another reason predators don't really make a dent in the Baitfish population.

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

I somewhat agree with what your saying but otters don’t typically target baitfish, they eat big fish. I know of otters eating 7-10lb bass in a private lake. In large lakes they are not as bad, but in a small body of water they can be detrimental. Thanks for watching!

@@BrandonLesterFishing that has to be a once in a while thing for a little otter to eat a trophy bass like that. I would think alligators are worse those things can eat a Giant Blue Catfish. Cottonmouths can be pretty bad too I had one try to take my crappie one time LoL, I could see a six foot Water Moccasin eating a trophy size bass since the one that tried to steal my crappie was only like 2 feet long, plus otters are adorable unlike the other 2 predators I mentioned.

If you need a disciple to teach how to become a better crappie angler let me know lol. I will be on my way.

Human beings are tough on the fish population, otters are a drop in the bucket compared to what humans do. Their just trying to live. lol

This isn't really an old school way. People do this all the time. An old dchool way would be not to use electronics
