Man I am glad you are making these videos (NOT LIVESCOPE)

I have never long lined for crappies. Been watching your videos Mike and I am excited for 2024 long lining. Thanks for the great videos!!!

I started long lining because of your videos. Very effective way to catch a limit of crappies. Really enjoy watching your videos!

Looked like a lot of fun, and was great to see some of the crappie baits that were working for you.

My fav way to crappie fish!! And i get the addiction, my wife gets so aggravated with me cause i wont quit!! Lol Be safe and thank ya so much for the video!! Love ur boat and set up!!

Mike, I really enjoy your videos. You do a great explaining what you are doing and give a lot of good tips. I like that you show a variety of techniques. You do a really good job editing too. Thanks for taking me along and keep 'em coming!

Been busy today and haven't been on the computer. I received a message on Facebook that you had posted another video. Tonight I logged into KZread and passed all other posted videos to your video. Always well done and informative. You never disappoint.

Good video and nice stringer of crappie. Thanks for sharing.

I discovered longline trolling last Spring and I enjoy it immensely. I learned a lot from your videos too.

Great video!

Really enjoyed the longlineing!

Thanks Mike. Always enjoy your videos. Got to try that long lining. Down here in TN. Was hoping to see you the start of the year at Grizzly Jig but you left a little early. Bless you my friend.

Thanks Mike!!!

😂 I’m a crappie addict to! Recently sub’d. Like your vid’s. I’m taking notes.

Good stuff…

Great video

I finally found someone as idiotic as I am about never wanting to quit, lol. I troll crankbaits this time of year and catch one after another. My favorite way to fish.

I recently subbed and enjoy your videos. Lots of great content and you really help teach your tactics. Good stuff! I am newer to Crappie fishing..a lot of our fishing on our lake is dock shooting as there are thousands of boathouses on our lake...but I would like to get into long lining like you did...do you ever use small planer boards or do you find them not necessary? Also, generally speaking, when is Long lining a good time (mid summer, spring, etc?) Thanks again!

I do use small planner boards at times. I love the Offshore Tackle mini planner boards for trolling crankbaits and jigs. I usually troll jigs and planner boards when the water temp. is in the mid to upper 60’s and above. Thanks for watching!

I like that boat and set up. How long is that boat? Love that long lining.Very nice.

​@@MikeBakerVideos.. Just found your channel and I gave you a sub... Never heard of having too many rods in a boat I'm from South Carolina and we don't have a limit on rods You can have as many out as you want as long as you fishing in a boat Now if you are on the bank fishing I think it's either two or three max you can have per person.. Good luck with your channel I'm going to check out some of your other videos in a little bit Take care 🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC

Another great video Mike, I always enjoy how you take us on each fishing journey with plenty of tips and instruction along the way. Question sir, are those crappies suspended in open water or are you trolling through trees? I don't see many trees on your trail. What's holding the fish in those areas? I fish mostly vertical over brush piles, but I'm thinking I need some new tactics. Appreciate any advice you could share on how to select an area on my home lake.

For the most part they were just suspended in open water feeding on baitfish.

Hi Mike, always enjoy your videos. What model SeaArk do you have? I like the layout and want to know about these boats.

Mike, what determines whether you choose long line or spider rigging? Water temp, time of year, etc......

@MikeBakerVideos

Personal choice mainly but water temp plays a role with long lining.

Hey Mike I really enjoy your videos, this long lining has me really curious if it will work on the ozarks. We have been pulling crankbaits the last couple weekends doing pretty good. We have been graphing fish 15-20 fd. I’m not sure the jigs will get down deep enough. Also how do you like your floor material in your SeaArk I have a Procat 200. Keep up the good work buddy 👍🏼😉

Pulling jigs will work on LOZ. Use two 1/4 oz jigs and go 1.2 mph to get that deep. I love the floor material in my Sea Ark.

I haven’t tried long lining or using crank baits for crappie yet but I was looking at getting a setup to run crank baits. Would I be better off trying long lining? What are the benefits of both or what do you recommend? I’ll be mainly fishing lake of the ozarks.

Both are good. Do what you enjoy.

Great video. Do you lay your track with trolling motor or the gas motor ?

Gas.

I saw you added the power poles to your Seaark. How did you mount them on yours?

On the shallow water pods. Had brackets installed at the factory when I ordered it.

where did you get your fish bait cutting board that is mounted on the pole?

If you’re running your jigs 10’ down how is that guy coming in behind you going to mess you up? 😊

I don’t think a boat over the top of my baits will improve the bite.

Not sure what you mean?

All the crappie bit on different colors despite him trying to sell us fishing tackle. I have trolled crankbaits on a good crappie lake near me and have caught one crappie in about 12 or 13 hours of fishing. Last time all the fish hit on one bait. So color mattered that day or that bait trolled at the right depth.I don't believe color matters most of the time. Fish find food mostly by using lateral lines in their bodies to detect movement. So a bait that creates movement or disturbance in the water should catch more fish.
