I grew up on Lake Lanier. If you want to be successful in that lake you have to learn brush piles. Clear water vs Stained water is a issue. As you know clearer water calls for smaller diameter line and precise presentation. Stained not so crucial. I used a drop in approach. Not the small hopping presentation that I've seen made so popular. I did use the " Lanier Rig" which was a 1/4 - 3/16 bullet weight threaded on your line followed by a glass bead paired with a round shank, offset 2/0 Gamakatsu hook. That rig would have a Zoom Finesse worm in Limeaid color. I actually preferred the brass weight and glass bead over the lead weight and plastic bead. It's 4 times louder and I feel a better attractant than the other. But when I fished more stained water I like a rattle loaded in whatever plastic bait I'm throwing. Great video Mr Crews!!!
Finding them with a basic 5 inch graph video would really help for those of us with the 5 inch Splitshot/Tripleshot.
Thank you for sharing this I have been trying to grasp this technique since moving to Toledo
Hey Mr Cruz excellent video always enjoy your videos your teaching ability is outstanding thanks so much for the time you spend making these videos for all of us to become a better angler. GOD bless you and your family and tight lines always.
Love the sound of that reel when you cast it !!!
one of the most important thing you mentioned is the editing out part. Too many people forget that fishing isn't a bite every cast like in the videos we watch on CZcams.
Many time, all the bites in the 10min video takes all day...I hope new fisherman realize this and don't look at it as a negative experience when they don't catch fish every cast.
Bingo. Thanks man
Good video John, thanks
Very good explanation of how to fish brush piles. Recently subscribed to your channel and glad I did.
Thanks 👊🏼
John - thanks man! Needed that intel. 12’ - 18’ lil-John is money!
Just PB on Coosa spot today 3.6 lil-J square bill off rocks.
Love you videos Mr. Crews!! I know you just posted a frog basic video but I want to know if the Spro bronzeye Shad fits into your gear and which frogs you use for particular cover or weather. Always rooting for you in all the Bass Master events you fish! Good luck and have fun
Great video and great info . What did you say is the best color worm for the summer?
So this is the Guy I buy his signature series Cashion Rods and Missile baits from Ohio River Outdoors in WV from Doug. Now he is giving me a one on one lesson on brush pile fishing.
People this dude is the dude.
Thanks John and just having a little fun and a good plug for you.
By the way what Rod are you cranking with?
Much appreciated! That is the Cashion Deep Crank Rod. It is money. Thanks again
tnx for the info master..watching from philippines..
Nice hoodie !!!
I enjoyed your video. I’d like it if you would talk the specifics of speed, and how you use your hands and rod. Technique specific. I was able to watch your hands some however your description of what yard are physically doing would be helpful.
As I said good video I learned from it.
Thank you

Can you talk about why you run both a bird and a lowrance at the console? I was thinking about doing the same thing on my boat. Using the bird for side imaging and mapping and lowrance for down imaging and 2d
John good video quality. Seams like there is a push to use straight shank pin grip hooks vs offset worm hooks to get fish out of the brush. Your thoughts?
I disagree. Straight shank hooks are best for close distance hook sets
Thanks for the video, I've watched all of yours videos from "How to" playlist.
It would be nice to see some video about your thoughts on different types of reels - Shimano DC, Daiwa SV TW, magnetic/centrifugal systems etc.
Greetings from Ukraine.
Thanks! Yes, I have used Daiwa Tatulas for a few years. They are work horses. Love them. I have a bunch of Zillion SV TWs on order. That is the most amazing reel I may have ever cast. The Shimano DC line is strong but a little weird for some techniques.
@@JohnCrews Thanks. The DC is great for throwing into the wind and baits with with larger profile.
By the way, here interesting comparison between ZILLION 1000 VS 2020 METANIUM MGL czcams.com/video/NkWmRmi7xbg/video.html
Better late than never, but I have a question regarding your Fat John 50 . Great video on your Little John Series, plus the one in mid Sept. Are there any plans on coming out with the Fat John 50 in Chrome/ Olive color? I had a blast yesterday evening fishing the Fat John 50 and 60 and bouncing them off objects, stumps, limbs etc. MAN! did it ever work.
The chrome olive color is getting popular. I will try to make them expand that color in other cranks in the line. I would use them too!
When you go out graphing waypoints for a tournament, is there a certain time of year you will graph for only brush piles? Or will you graph looking for them all (rock piles, hard bottom, ledges, weed lines, brush piles, etc)
Brush is typically best in post spawn and summer but I have caught bass out of brush piles all year.
John could you do this with a 1/2 ounce spinner bait
hey jonh I seen u at the show in tn
I don’t have tv fish finder’s just my kayak and baitcaster and soft plastics… do people fish the old ways anymore just curious
Hi john , can you talk about color on jigs is it true that color is too cat h Fisherman not fish its all in the way the jig swims if you got a jig that swims good your gonna get bit i herd this on a Boat i went on and from the captain of that boat and I have also experienced that while throwing iron off the boW , I was throwing a tady A1 but on the retreve it was prettymuch skipping the surface so my buddy tried it same thing he said its No good so i changed to a tady c bird shit color BaMMM got a BITER.....i was like WTF i tried his set up same thing got bit.
Would you try and work around the entire brush pile and choose different angles or at that point when you have hit them with both of your different presentations, just move on?
When did Diawa start making a DC reel? lol
Can't see side imaging screen
Couldn't see what he was seeing on the graph, hard to tell what he's looking for if we can't see it.
✨✝️😇✝️✨
I didn't see a brush pile lol
They all aren’t massive. That’s what I wanted to show
I think Sniper is garbage for cranking. Frays way too easily. Constantly having to re-tie or I'm breaking off mid cast or on a little snag.
Seager for me
Unable to see anything because of the horrible glare!!! When you get it right, maybe we will be able to see what you are talking about!!!!
Sorry about that
