    Mr. Gene ever since I came across your videos I have learned a lot of techniques. I started back fishing about 6 months ago after a 20 year absence from the sport. Had to work and no play taking card of a family and kids are grown and gone now. So now I can start back what I loved before and didn't know how much things have changed but with your videos has made it easier to transition back to loving this sport again. Thank you Mr Gene

Even thou we are on both sides of this great country, your east coast we are west coast catching fish is the same. I find your video's to be very enjoyable. Your channel I believe in my personal opinion will result in great success!!! God be with you sir!

    I’m here to tell you Richard if that about Elmo is for laughs you don’t need it. You’re a hell of a fisherman now don’t let that go to your head, I mean a lot of the tips you tell us I used 40 years ago. I love to go crappie fishing see I’m from Ohio and all the time I was growing up I’d go crappie fishing and I mean I would catch big ones but then people got greedy and stupid and would keep little 2 inch ones because they didn’t have a size limit on them so the crappie almost disappeared in most of the lakes in Ohio. Now they have a size limit on them for about 3 or 4 years now so I might go fish for some when I go back to visit. So you don’t need a crutch like Elmo, but if your having fun with it go ahead, but I like the fishing part so keep the videos coming 👍

    @DrZiggyzoo1 Před 7 lety +1

    Around the 15:40 mark you mentioned something about changing colors. What makes you decide to change colors? Just getting less bites? Also what do you do to determine what color to use?

    • @RichardGeneTheFishingMachine
      @RichardGeneTheFishingMachine  Před 7 lety

      Yes getting fewer bites is why i decide to change. Chartruse, red , pink, purple, and white are highly visible in "stained" water conditions. When the bites slow down I change between these colors. It helps to force a few more bites off the same school of fish that you have located. Thank you for watching my video DrZiggyzoo!

      @Alabama Crappie Adventures They absolutely do smell the glue. If you use glue, you need to use some attractant. I have been doing this tech for about the last 35 years and it is a great way to slay them. It works on about all lakes with bridges, especially if they have current.

      There was no brush at this location I was just fishing around bridge columns. Cold fronts make it harder to catch fish, so I would have caught more easier without coldfront. Thank you for watching Ronald!
