  • Today, I am out walking around the banks of a local creek chasing down some slab crappie. Its freezing cold out but that usually fires the crappie up! Follow along to see how it all plays out on the creek and how we turn our catch into a delicious warm supper! Thanks so much for watching and we will see you on the next one!

    I am a black grandma who loves fishing. I watch you and Jay. I absolutely love your videos, especially catching crappie. My hubby and I fish in our subdivision pond, we mainly catch bluegills and small crappie whenever the weather gets cold. We use live menows for crappie but we only catch crappie every now and then. What is your secret. We live in Snellville GA.

    • @COLE_and_JAY
      @COLE_and_JAY  Před rokem +1

      We love to hear that you are enjoying our videos! And I’m not sure if I have a secret, haha, but With crappie, it seems it’s all about finding out where the fish are at first. Finding them is the hardest part but once you’re on them they seem easy to catch! You can never go wrong using minnows, but I have seen where soft plastic jigs have outperformed the live bait as odd as that sounds. Always good to have both ready on deck to use! Thanks so much for watching and I hope y’all catch some monster slabs!!!

      Crappie fishing can be great in creeks during winter. They run up in them in the Fall chasing bait and then you’ll normally have a bunch that stick around during the winter if there is enough food and cover for them! This creek is deeper than most of the lake they came from, so that’s why they like it I think

    @kennethyankauer2598 Před rokem

    Of course it's freezing...compared to the Gulf Coast. Up here in Central New York this time of year that temp would mean Indian summer. Watching this you have motivated me to try out the local Spring spawn hot spot.. Who knows... perhaps there will be a fish or two in there early. Just Lakeside is phenomenal ice fishing for the Queen's sized slabs and GIANT literally two handed bluegills and pumpkin seeds.
    I've been paying attention to the baits you use and how you rig them. Question??? Is there a rhyme or reason as to which bobber you choose? Like size, style,weighted or not, color, etc? Or just whatever you grab. Also... do you ever use minnows this time of year, or stick with the soft baits? Thanks. And welcome home and glade you all had a safe journey.

    • @COLE_and_JAY
      @COLE_and_JAY  Před rokem +1

      As far as bobber selection goes, I always prefer to use small and unweighted bobbers if where I am fishing doesn’t require a long cast. The trout magnet panfish bobbers are my favorite. This style of bobber is quiet when it hits the water and is more sensitive. When I need to make a long cast I will use a weighted bobber. I don’t really like it but I gotta do what I gotta do to reach the fish and they still work. We will use minnows from time to time if we feel like they will catch us more fish. I definitely prefer to use jigs so I don’t have to worry about rigging minnows up all the time. And I’m a pretty firm believer that in most cases if you are around crappie, you will be more efficient and catch more with soft plastics. There have been a few times when we have gone deep brush pile
      Fishing and the crappie wouldn’t touch a jig but would engulf a minnow. So yeah, we definitely mix it up!
