My pb crappie wasn't even on ultralight, let alone a bobber. It was on a 3/4 oz ledgebuster spinnerbait

When my kids were little, they were afraid of bones, so I would filet and cut them up into bite sized chunks. After batter dipping, I deep fried them and called them fish nuggets. The kids loved them and if I didn't eat some as I was cooking, I didn't get any.

Kayak fishing is absolutely relaxing. My son and grandson just bought kayaks and I had one years ago but nothing like the nice stuff they have now. Thought about getting another one but my old back wouldn't like that. These postings are top notch. I would have brought home at least a couple of those crappie. Great eating. I used to fish some farm ponds with my nephew in Indiana when we would visit that was loaded with hybrid bluegill. They were so big you could hardly get your hand around them. We used to throw them back but one day the owner said he wanted to thin them out a bunch. We took a good bunch home and cleaned them for a big family fish fry that night. Nobody was in the mood for fresh caught fish for some reason so my nephew and I ate til we started growing gills. Great memories.

Thanks for putting all of us stuffed in you kayak for this fishing adventure

Thanks Matt, that was a very relaxing video and I enjoyed the tranquility of bobber fishing for crappie! Waiting anxiously for your next video, take care and be safe!

Crappie are probably the most satisfying fish to catch, always a fight. Smallys are a close second for me but Crappie hold a special place in my love for fishing.

Foe me... that's fishing. The beauty of God's nature and soothing sounds of the birds, frogs, etc. I remember when I lived in Connecticut, that truly was fishing for me. A row boat on a 50 acre lake filled with bass, perch and sunfish, with some chain pickerel thrown in for the occasional challenge of not losing your lures! Now I live in NC and have to fish from the shore in a pond surrounded by trees. Sooo much frustration! Between the submerged trees and stumps, the wind, and the surrounding trees and bushes, I think that I may have lost more lures in two years than in the past 30 years! ..and they cost so much now! I recently came across a pack of red 3.0 tru turn worm hooks that were $2.39 for 25 hooks. Those same hooks today cost $2.19 per 4! Can you say "INFLATION!" ...Thanks for sharing your trips with us. Blessings!

What a beautiful spot, and great for fishing. I didnt think the audio was bad at all. Youre like the bob ross of fishing. I love watching youre videos. It makes me wanna get out on the banks and start pitching in lures

I love spring crappie fishing. A special tactic I use while shore fishing is flipping a weightless Strike King Mr. Crappie Lightning Shad and reeling very slowly as I constantly twitch very lightly with the rod tip down. The lure stays just beneath the surface as it slowly moves and does little wags. That gets crappie to come right up and hit it. A very similar retrieve with smaller suspending jerkbaits, like a size 6 Husky Jerk and size 4 X-Rap, also works.

NDYak you rock! Love the channel and content! Peace

A beautiful scenario and a very instructive video on fishing with a lure mounted on a bobber rig.

When that pike grabbed onto the paddle, 😂 that got me lol

fishing in here feel so comfortable

A nice surprise on my birthday thanks man love your videos keep it up!

You should try use it like a popping cork and can hang it further from the bobber if you're trying it along a transition. They seem to like those transitions. I usually give it about 3 ft and put a 1/32 or 1/64oz jig head so it pendulums slowly and use a 2.5 or 3-in gulp minnow. They love that when they are being finicky with a regular jig and plastic. Give it a pop, wait two or three seconds while the jig slowly pendulums and repeat. Works like a champ, especially at Spawn
