  • Todays video is all about finding and catching summer crappies on flowages. Today we are on the Chippewa Flowage in northern Wisconsin and we are looking for deepwater midsummer crappies for a fish fry. Crappie fishing can be challenging in any lake during the mid summer months. Flowages have a ton of structure and this can further complicate the process. I give tips on the 3 locations in which I look for when searching out crappies during the warm weather months. I also talk about the lures and presentation I use to catch them. Thanks for watching!

    Always fun and informative. You should have shown your secret to frying up boneless crappie with some crayfish boil. We did that in Minnesota and was fun catching the crayfish and added a nice mix to the walleye. Keep getting hooked up.

    Like so many of the others have already said: mixing it up with a crappie bite info is always a good idea!

  • @8285steve
    @8285steve Před 4 lety

    You should trademark the statement "Hooked-up!" and put it on a shirt ....and hoodie......and hat......etc......

    • @TheEverLovingOutdoors
      @TheEverLovingOutdoors Před 4 lety

      That's a great idea because Tom is the first ever to say hooked up and he came up with that common phrase so he should take ownership of it. Derp Derp Derp

    Fishing deep crappies is my favorite thing to do and I've spent a ton of time on the Flowage. But I don't seem find big ones. I recently started smallie fishing Hayward's big clear lakes so I enjoy your other videos a ton and have a lot to learn.

  • @drdavewi
    @drdavewi Před 4 lety

    What's going on is I enjoyed the crappie fishing lesson. I rarely fish walleyes and so enjoy videos on other species. A lesson on summer crappies in natural lakes would be great too. Thank you Tom.

  • @AndrewRezaFishing
    @AndrewRezaFishing Před 4 lety

    Live in Southeast WI/IL border and really enjoy watching the multi species videos we don’t have much for walleye down here witch made me a bass guy and normally I used to only go after panfish through ice only and grab the bass rods out in spring but this year after watching you videos for some reason I I’ve been way more excited to catch crappie open water then ever before. However I’m finding out that our small, pressured,shallow, weedy lakes seem to make me work much harder here for a bite then you northerners or I just suck! Thanks for the content!

    @NightSniper64 Před 4 lety

    Hey Tom, you are a well versed angler. Do you ever try the mid summer trolling for Crappie? It can be killer. Using your electronics to locate the school of fish. Then use micro cranks to pick apart the school of fish. I use a 7ft UL with 4 LB mono and a 2LB lead line and small crankbaits. Talk about fun. Give it a try and let Shelby enjoy fighting a slab on 2lb test.

  • @aaronjohnson49
    @aaronjohnson49 Před 4 lety

    It's nice to see some panfish content too, I think a large portion of anglers in the upper Midwest are walleye focused primarily but would deviate from WE's in a heart beat if they ran over a pod of fish like that especially mid day mid summer. Good to see you guys having fun and showcasing what northern WI has to offer!

    @cranberry7151 Před 4 lety +1

    You always suggest heavy sinkers, but everything I've heard in the past seemed to be use the lightest sinker and terminal tackle you can so the fish don't feel resistance. Can you go into more depth on this topic? Love your videos!!!

    • @jyakes1394
      @jyakes1394 Před 4 lety +1

      With the Thill wobble bobbers, they are rated for a certain weight. Say if you are using a 3/8 bobber, it'll float with 3/8 under it. So if you use a 1/4 sliding weight and a 1/8 jig, any more weight will sink the bobber with almost no resistence.
