The videos just get better and better thank you

Nice video thanks

Thank you so much for sharing !

Awesome videos ty

Best dock side imaging demo ever followed by convincing advantages of having forward looking sonar when fish are on the move. Your personable, calming delivery style is a strong attribute.

you have a voice quality that seems to relate to Bob Ross from PBS - The Joy of Painting. "Maybe a crappie bush lives over here.. Maybe a crappie dock over there. ok.. lets clean our lure and go with a chartreuse and midnight black color next '. It's rather stress free and calm fishing viewing.

Like a much less high and wildly more redneck version of Bob Ross. I like it.

I grew up on Tims Ford lake if you have some time I would like to see some walleye videos and some tips I caught some at the dam but that's about it

Love the crappie fishing videos. Keep them coming.

Appreciate your teaching as you go! Getting ready to put Livescope on my boat, so hope I can catch on! Especially the shooting docks.

Thank You Brandon

Thanks for the vid Brandon. I fished docks on my last trip to TN, didnt even OCCUR to me to use side imaging. Scratchin my.head wondering why... now i made a mental note. Definitely remember this video on my next trip, so thank you.

Just ran across your channel and enjoyed your content. What lake are you fishing and what is your home lake?

Great video. Love my lowrance. I have the 9” screen. The side imaging is definitely a big advantage to locate crappie under docks. I like shooting docks with a Bobby Garland.

man thats first one

Hope you have a great Holiday

It's been in the 30s in ohio . Went out on the lake for 4 hours not one fish.. any advice?

Enjoyed this video. thanks for the screen shots of both SI and forward facing sonar. Great series of crappie videos.

I just got a Bonifide SS127. Can you recommend a good low budget fish finder

I fished that same boat house at 14 mins on your vid this past Monday and caught some nice ones there myself...they were stacked in there and I caught several nice ones at that bridge..they were stacked there as well

Fishing was good on the Tn river. But with Pickwick having flood gates open. Then all the rain, its though now. Even Yellow creek on Pickwick Lake. Its a mud pit for a few days for sure.

Hey Brandon, I'm a new subscriber. Followed you some on bassmasters but I'm wanting to try to get into crappie fishing. I don't have a boat right now so will have to fish from the bank. What setup would you suggest fishing around bridge columns from the bank this time of year?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

I would have two different setups for a bank fishing situation like that. First I would rig a live minnow on a slip bobber rig and set it at the depth I expect the fish to be at and cast it out. While you waiting for one to bite the minnow cast a jig around and see what happens. Be sure and pay attention to how deep you are getting your bites, that will be the key. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Thank you, Brandon! I love watching your videos, always learning from you. Question: how does releasing a fish affect the school? Does it shut down the bite eventually? Is that why you change locations? Thank you and Merry Christmas!

just was wondering what part of Tennessee you are in as I'm looking for a place to retire and I am thinking of Tennessee as a contender. How are the winters there? Great videos!

I’ll be shootin docks tomorrow down here in Florida

@marcusfuller7464 - I live in Grenada. Where you put in, depends on where you want to fish on the lake and what level the lake is at during your trip. Some ramps are out of water at lower levels. The Grenada Landing (main) boat ramp is accessible 99.9% of the time. It is accessible as long as lake level is 191.0 or more. Wolf Creek ramp is accessible with lake level at 191.0 or more Hugh White State Park ramp is accessible with lake level at 193.0 or more

I noticed you like the loop knot. Are you against using a swivel?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

I’m not a fan of using a swivel. It takes away from the action of your bait and just looks very unnatural to the fish I believe.

Do you paint tail or do they make killer klat with chartreuse?

1st 😁👌 I do have a question, you did get me to start using Vicious 4 lb test and I used your method of spooling it up which has been great. My question is when it does get twisted up do you cut everything off and troll it behind the boat to get the twist out or do you just respool it with new line?

@BrandonLesterFishing

Жыл бұрын

I don’t ever have a problem with it getting twisted but yes you can troll it behind the boat and get it out. I usually change mine every 3-4 trips. I just like to keep my line fresh.
