You are very fortunate to have such good fishing opportunities. Where I live there’s not too many honey holes

We never used slip-bobbers growing up so I don't know how to set them up. Looks like it a bit easier to work with and cast. I'd love to see a short on how you set one up. Great video...thanks Matt.

Take top and bottom of slide bobber off. Then, put top end onto line. Then put the bobber on. Put bobber piece into the top of the bobber. Then put bottom piece on. Measure 9 inches of line coming out the bottom of the bobber. Put on a split shot right up the bottom of the bobber. Then tie 7 inch leader with side 1 hook at the bottom end and your golden. Watch a video how to rig it if you didn't get my explanation. 😊

You should hit the perch potholes next winter. There are some crazy good ice bites out there. Nelson is so warm the big ones are already starting to stage up prespawn. I've never seen February topwater in ND... but its been the ticket some days.

To catch some slabs, try a 2 inch white curly tail Powerbait grub and tip it with a Powerbait crappie nibble. Use however you think is best. Straight retrieve, jigging, under a bobber, etc.

Amazing the way you target species. Thanks NDYA for bringing us along.

I went out the other day when we had a warm snap and the rock bass were biting, not my species of choice but so nice to have something on the line

That was funny. “I should probably bring up my anchor before paddling”. LOL

Glad to see that you had a crappie day.

Loved this one and I had a chance to get out for a couple hours at the local pond. Dark bottom with high sunny 🌞 skies...yep it was bobbers and slip floats with ice jigs and waxies. About 15 or so evenly split crappie and bluegill but had to add that wax worms or they weren't interested. 2 little bass banged off my Wal-Mart Ozark inline spinners but didn't feel the hook. Glad the weather treated you guys well and you found some. Spring will be here soon enough. Thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings

Pulled a 6.5 lb walleye out of a random perch pothole this year. Was being aggressive with the smallest jigging rapala in firetiger and having some success with perch and a big wallleye smashed like a freight train. What a fight. Always fun when the fish is 2x your line test and your rod is folded in half on the head shakes. Ndyak angler videos are a frequent point of discussion around ND fishing spots.

The excitement and smell of spring is there! Thanks much for sharing Matt. Looking forward to this season!

Matt, it's good to see the ice melting and you back in the kayak doing what you love to do! Awaiting anxiously for your next video! Take care and be safe!

Nothing beats a day on the lake catchin walleye, coming home and cooking em' up, and sitting down to find a brand new NDYak video!

Matt and Jacob, y'all rock! Peace

March and short sleeves! It's almost enough to make me sell the farm and head South. We still have ice but not enough to fish through. Tough winter. Great video my friend.

Can’t wait to get out. Cmon spring !!!!!

Awesome! Carp wanted to take you for a ride. Thanks for taking us along!

Nice to see open water. I got a bunch of trout today in my local river. Can't wait for spring.

Finally a crappie video ❤❤ need more of these videos

Omg it’s been a long winter. So glad to have this video and the promise of many more from the best fisherman on KZread.

Tight lines

I love hearing the redwing blackbirds in the background. Oh, and those crappies are nice, too! Prettiest fish in the Midwest, IMHO.

Glad to see you on the water. Tight lines and god bless.

😮the fat senko 3 in was a bass killer here in md.its been prob 6 yrs since i bought any at 7.00 a 10 pk.the ned rig is 1 of my main lures nowadays along with the smaller wacky style plastics

We are almost there! Spring is in the air!

Hope you kept some to eat. Yum

10 feet of snow due here in the Sierra mountains near Reno! No spring yet.

Absolutely love the panfish, well done fellas

Very nice. There has been plenty of times ive actually slid across ice to get to fishing spots. Ya do what you have to do 😅

Great video. Keep up the great work.

Another Fantastic Video!

Wooo! Open water!!! Fixing to do the same thing today!

I never caught a crappie but maybe this year I can try see what happens if I'm not to busy to go fishing. Great video and great catches. Well take care Matt! See ya next time.

Good one Matt.

fantastic video Matt what A beautiful fish I wish we had those here in the UK they are a bit like a cross between a bream and Perch your rod set up is very similar to the one I use here on the canals in the Midlands uk what a fun day with your pal Thank you thumbs up 👍🏼

This fish all look good and healthy!! Nice!

Always enjoyable😎

What an awesome day on the water

First time out for me for this year, tomorrow can't wait,down here in Rhode Island 🙌🙌🙌

My Son's and I went down to Lake Anna in Virginia last April and went Crappie fishing, first time and we had a blast and killed it.

Going on a partially frozen lake in a kayak to go fishing, pure dedication.

I accidentally hooked up on a bass on my son’s ultra light with 4# fluoro. That was the most insane thing lol. On a regular rod, no prob. On his, it was crazy obnoxious 😂. Reminded me of that when you hooked on a pike/carp

But when I come back to ND. It’s cold af, always, 24/7. Even on the hottest day of the year it’s still cold

I got a raise and then found out our favorite angler posted a new video. I'm more stoked for the new video. You have something truly special.

@ndyakangler

4 ай бұрын

I have an older Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120.

Since I moved from the pristine fresh waters of MI to the SW, there are really no Smallies where I am. I'm typically really only interested in small and Large mouth Bass fishing and occasional Walleye (again, too warm down here. No Walleye) But there are Crappie. I suppose I need to educate myself on and expand my kit for these good eating panfish. I did go and grab a couple of nice ultralights for that purpose but I still don't know exactly which bait to setup and use.

@ndyakangler

4 ай бұрын

When they’re up shallow around spawn time that little tungsten jig/plastic/slip bobber setup it tough to beat. It’s casts awesome with the high density metal jig and I don’t have to add an extra split shot up the line so even if the fish nudges my bait up a little bit I’ll see a response from my bobber. Once I find the fish that setup always catches them!

@ndyakangler

4 ай бұрын

You can’t even target bass, walleye, or pike until the second weekend in May. Panfish, catfish, and rough fish are still fair game so you can target those. If you catch a bass or pike tossing a crappie rig that’s fine you just have to release it. If you’re out there tossing a spinnerbait you’ll have a hard time explaining you’re crappie fishing if the DNR shows up.
