How To Locate Brush Piles With Side Imaging For CRAPPIE Made EASY!
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 07. 2023
- In this video, I show you how to locate brush piles for crappie using side scan on the Humminbird Helix 7. It is very important to use all the tools that come with your fish finder, and side scan is probably the most important tool there is. I also show you how to read side imaging, and show what brush piles look like on side imaging. Then I show you how to go back over the brush pile with 2D sonar to throw a buoy out over the brush pile. Then we actually catch some crappie off of the pile I found in this video, I hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching! God Bless!

Thanks for tagging me in this video 903 Fishing!
This video is perfect, do you prefer a gold or a bronze 2/0 Aberdeen hook?
I really enjoyed this video. Can you catch fish like this in the fall and winter months? I'm located in Middle TN
Yes sir eagle claw Aberdeen 2/0
Not as much. Our crappie go in the creeks in the winter, not all, but a lot
My man made it so simple to understand. The step by step and how to use each mode totally makes sense. Better than any wired2fish vid lol
I appreciate that brother. Thanks for watching! God bless
This is my favorite video because it was like the 5th video I had watched trying to understand how to read my screen. This was the one that actually made it all click. Now I'm much more accurate when tossing my buoy out.
This is my favorite video because the vid shows me the exact steps to follow to catch crappie. I have the exact setup as you. I find myself really lacking in understanding my mega side imaging to locate brush piles but I spend most time on the water trying to figure out the Helix 7 images and what it is I’m looking at. The steps you show are a great way to help me. Thank you!
This video was very helpful for me as an amateur. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
No problem! Hopefully you learned something from it. I appreciate you for watching! God bless!
Super, super video. I would have missed that brush pile on side scan. My eyes tend to focus on mainly stuff that shows up in the dark section (water column directly under the boat)) only and miss the stuff further out to the sides....which, I know, is the whole point of side scan. 😁 Easy to understand video. It will help a lot of people.
Your side scan starts outside of the black. The black is directly under the boat; that’s what down scan is for. Thanks for watching! God bless
Just wanted to say thank you for showing how you find the brush piles. I finally have a boat and a fish finder is next on the list, so this really helped.
Go get them brother! Thanks for watching! God bless!
Good explanation of how to use your graph and buoy markers. I also like using the X Marks, the Spot with the buoys. Using 4 buoys. Put a marker in front of the brush pile, and then back. Then go from side to side crisscross when you each other, and you could find the dead center of the brush pile.
Yes sir! Thanks for watching and the support brother! God bless!
The best explanation I have seen on how to locate and fish brush piles. Hands down my favorite video you have done.
Hey 903Fishing! I’m graduating from the University of Tyler as an electrical engineer in May. My first plan is to purchase a boat and use all the tips I’ve learned from your channel to fish for crappie!
That’s awesome brother! Congratulations on your degree!
@@903fishing thank you!
You answered 2 of my questions from 2 Sundays ago with a detailed 20 minute video. And I had my buddy convinced that you said "Timmy" at 13:46 as a shout out. Love you, bro. This is the detail I needed with with my new side scan.
Let’s gooo! I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
Great tutorial. I like how strategic you were about finding the brush pile with SI, marking the spot then honing in with DI to get a better view.
Yes sir that’s how I do things! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
What exactly fish finder do u got ? Only asking I need one
@@himsohimsom-be7fh this is a Humminbird helix 7, mega down imaging only.
I read your article on acc crappie sticks techniques for inexperienced anglers along with all the other tips from other anglers as well great read
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching! God bless!
Not sure if you stay locally but Strm Thurmond is huge and I believe it would make for a new reservoir break dow3, locate and fish. We have huge crappies 14 and 16 inches are common anytime of year. Its just a pain locating them . Would love to see you pro tip it because its very different than most areas. I have used your tips like the Bible and they work great but locating brush piles is very time consuming. I always keep them saved and revisit throughout the year. Majority of the time these crappie are suspended and traveling zones. Hell, a zone video explanation would be awesome too.
Never heard of that lake!
This is definitely my favorite video. When I first got started fishing for crappie I would simply pull up to a bridge or stump or visible structure and try to fish it because I was intimidated by open water. After watching this video I was able to locate and position my boat on open water crappie and put some slabs in the boat. Would recommend this video to anyone who is struggling to get off of visible structure and utilize your electronics to land fish.
Love your videos, it's always a blessing to see someone willing to share their experiences and knowledge with others so that they may enjoy the same. So many today just take and never give, keep up the good work.
I appreciate that brother! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
This is my favorite 903 fishing video because I don't have livescope and this video is showing me how to find the crappie and fish for some toads
It amazes me as to how many good crappie fisherman don’t use any electronics. Many just went straight to livescope. Livescope made me understand my other electronics better, because it forced me to believe what I was looking at. Great video. I just threw away about 10 broken acc rods.
Lol you must be the reason why they breaking. I have never broke an ACC that wasn’t from it being my fault. Stepped on, slammed in door etc. people are rough with rods and expect them to last forever. Thanks for watching! God bless
That was funny, that crappie just flapped back out of the cooler!! 😂
This is my favorite video because you done a Great step by step way to use the hummingbird helix 7's to locate brush piles. My tracker has 2 helix 7's. Thanks 903 for all the Great Crappi Videos.!!
Perfect timing on video. Just picked up a helix9 msi yesterday. Thanks for the tips bro!!
That’s awesome brother! Thanks for watching! God bless!
I like this guy and his channel. He uses equipment to help not too fish.
Thanks for watching and the support brother. God bless
Thanks for the info on side imaging. I have struggled with it & I think you have helped me!
I hope it helps brother! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless!
Good to see you with another great video, my question is what is your target distance from you and the marker
Like fishing wise? I usually get 10-15 feet off the BrushPile. Or when I drop the marker? Thanks for watching!
Great video. I like how you stay off that brush pile so you don’t spook the fish off. I would like to try the slip cork method so it’s helpful to show. Thanks a lot!
The slip cork method puts fish in the boat. Thanks for watching! God bless!
This is my favorite vid because I just got into electronics and this definitely helps me to understand it better thank you for sharing 👍
This video has helped me the most about fishing brush piles. I have a hummingbird like yours. So THANK YOU!!!!!
I’m glad to hear that brother! Go get them! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
903 still dropping knowledge. Love the info/ content to help people catch crappie. 🎣🎣🎣🎣
You already know brother! Thanks for watching! God bless
Great video! Thank you for taking the time and laying it out like you did. Can't help but catch croppy if you follow the video again good job!!👍👍
Thanks for watching and the support! God bless brother
This whole video was fabulous, exactly what I was looking for. Hoping to follow your lead. And 8:30 had me rolling! 😂😂
That fish had other plans lol thanks for watching! God bless
Great video! Easy to understand, explained very well and useful to teach those new to electronics to find fish and structures.
Hopefully this video helps! Thanks for watching! God bless!
Thanks for the lesson on locating and marking brush piles / structures. You make the procedure look simple - that's what I need. Not asking for secrets, but can you tell me what lakes or general area you typically fish? Love the channel.
I fish north east Texas! Thanks for watching! God bless
Yep I like that SI and DI imaging and explaining about them . Got Hook2 I'm gettying ready to install on my Lowe Jon to get ready for this fall . Also looking seriously at the Helix 7 di . May pick one up . Great job .
Thanks brother. Side imaging is a game changer brother! Thanks for watching! God bless
Thanks for the video 903! Keep em coming
Yes sir will do! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
great video 903, you really helped me specifically today!!!! I need to get a Helix 7 to find those brush tops. Keep it coming, please...and thank you, God bless
Go get them! Thanks for watching! God bless
Super helpful - appreciate you teaching how to actually utilize the technology from start to finish. Beautiful fish too.
I appreciate you for watching! God bless
Great, and I mean great video. I cannot wait to give your method a go !! Brother it’s not getting hot in Texas , it’s “ALREADY HOT”.
Yes sir it’s brutal. Thanks for watching and the support! God bless!
Favorite video, this help me set up my own boat.
I love this video. Ive seen stuff like your fishing and never knew it would have been crappie. I fished the tops for bass and never caught anything
Yes sir! Crappie love structure, brushpiles, stumps, lay downs, all that stuff. Now so do bass of course, but they tryin to eat the crappie lol thanks for watching! God bless
This is my favorite video... very informative
Love to see a catch and cook in the future, great video keep them coming.
I have a few. Not many. They don’t perform well on the channel, and it takes more work to do the clean and cook part! But I do plan on having one soon! Thanks for watching! God bless
Awesome tutorial video, thanks.
Thanks for watching! God bless!
This is my favorite video bc it really helps people be able to locate fish
Great video!!!
I have the exact same fish finder. Ive been struggling to locate brush piles in opem water like that. Thanks for the tip.
Let’s gooo! Thanks for watching! God bless
Wow! Thank you ! This video was super helpful with the side view
I hope it helps you get on some crappie! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
Man that was a great video full of good info!
Thanks for watching brother! God bless!
Outstanding video!Thank you for sharing this info!
Thanks for watching! God bless
Great video, awesome information, thanks.
Great vid. I don’t know if you could make a whole video out of specifically finding the areas where brush piles are located and us placing our own piles in the lake. I am curious if it is points where the lines are or flats that drop off to deeper water. Would appreciate your thoughts.
I explain this in the video. People will drop piles on ledges and or on the edge from shallow to deeper water. Thanks for watching! God bless
Thanks I was just thinking I wish 903 would put up a video on finding brush tops with side scan. What size hook do you use?
Well I hope you enjoyed this video brother! Any questions feel free to ask! Thanks for watching! God bless!
@@903fishing The Video was excellent. Learned a ton like I do from each of your videos. What size hook do you use?
Great video love crappie fishing
Thanks for watching! God bless
Holy smokes those are humongous crappies 😮 I loved the video. Alex
We will have to get on these the next time you come down! Thanks for the support! God bless
watching you catch crappie makes me want to go catch some crappie. keep it up!
Go get them brother! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless
Great tips! So if your brush pile is 12 feet deep how many feet do you set your bobber to??
We’ll it depends. If the top of the brush pile comes up to 12 feet then I would set my slip cork anywhere from 11-12 feet. Or you can fish deeper on the sides of the pile. Thanks for watching! God bless
Saw you on the weather news with Brad Anthony! Cool!
Brett Anthony! Yes, I will be on a segment of the news August 10th. Thanks for watching! God bless
Excellent help
I hope it does help! Thanks for watching! God bless
Awesome work
Thanks for watching! God bless
This is my favorite video because I'm trying to learn the helix 7. Not very good with electronics!🙄
Some walleye fishing would be great!
No walleye in Texas man. Thanks for watching! God bless
@903fishing Oh no! If you ever make it to Michigan look me up.
Exactly what I was looking for thank you.

Great video I learned alot
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching! God bless
Nice video. I learned a lot
Your videos are always very good. What time frame was this video made relative to the peak spawn? Thanks very much.
This video was no where close to spawn. This video was made in the summer when crappie are on deep brush piles! Thanks for watching! God bless
Great job done my friend 👍
Thanks for watching! God bless
Love the videos. Where the vid for your slip cork rig? Thanks

Great video and good information 🎣
Thanks for watching! God bless
Great Video!
I've learned a ton from your channel, today's video I learned I need a boat and side scan. 😂
Lol come on brother! Thanks for watching! God bless
This is such a good video, I find mysely looking at it more than one time and so I have another question. Is there a debth of a brush pile were driving over as you did that would scare the fish off the brush pile.
Depends on the time of the year honestly. Usually I don’t fish brush no shallower than 10 feet anyway and it doesn’t affect them
Thanks@@903fishing
I like it. Very helpful.
Go get them! Thanks for watching! God bless
Excellent vid bro!

No problem. Thanks for watching! God bless
Hey, quick question. How do you rig your buoy marker up? Do you have a weight on it? Would love a short video on what you use and how you set it up.
They come with a weight. Walmart or academy. Don’t worry next weeks video you will really like. It’s going to be a good one! It’s all about buoys haha thanks for watching! God bless
@903fishing good deal brother! Thanks!!
I've seen that image so many times on down and had no idea they were crappie!
Doesn’t mean they are always crappie, but if they are around or on brush, they definitely could be! Hope it helps you out! Thanks for watching! God bless
OMG !! What are your settings on your hummingbird ? Wish my Helix 7 was that clear !!
Settings that came out the box! Nothin special. Thanks for watching! God bless
I’m a crappie fisherman wanna be. Can you believe I live so close to Grenada lake I can see the backwater from my house when the lake is high. It’s one of the top crappie lakes in the nation. I’ve been wanting to put out some brush piles a long time and thanks for teaching me how to find existing ones. I have one question, how do you know how deep you are fishing?
What you mean? How deep I am fishing? Like with a slip cork setup?
Great job on Veido, what helix model do you use, I know you said but I somehow missed it
I have the helix 7 mega down and mega side imaging! Thanks for watching! God bless
Thank you Sir, always enjoy watching your veidos, may the Lord richly bless you, and thank you for acknowledging our Lord on your show.
Some nice fish off that pile
Yes sir! Thanks for watching! God bless
I’ve put a Daiwa on my 8 foot ACC
Sorry if you specified but which helix 7 do you have? I literally just bought the cheap helix 7 G4 one, upgrading from a super cheap one. Haven’t even installed yet. I’m hoping I can use some of the tips shown here!
This is the helix 7 gn3 I believe. Mega side and mega down imaging
Texarkana,where do u get your minnows?I bought some a couple weeks ago and they are expensive
I get minnows at OT’s landing and or Maud bait shop when I am in Texarkana. Thanks for watching! God bless
What lake are you fishing in this video? I live here off of Hwy 271 between Gilmer and Gladewater. Will be going to Gilmer Lake soon. Just wish you would tell us the lake that you are at in your videos.
I’m curious to know what that matters? You can use these tips and techniques on any lake. I need to get on gilmer myself. Thanks for watching! God bless!
What size hooks you prefer ?
I use a 2/0. Not a #2. I love them. Thanks for watching! God bless
Is it harder to use the electronics in shallower waters the lakes I fish in Arkansas are not very deep the deepest spots on the lake are 10-12’ deep
They would work the exact same brother. Water depth doesn’t mean anything when it comes to electronics. Thanks for watching! God bless
You mentioned you are using an 8ft rod… what rod length would you recommend if you were fishing from a kayak?
Sub.
I use my 6’6 out of the kayak! I love it! Acccrappiestix.com
KOOL. THANKS. I MISSED DIS VIDEO 👍🏾
NEED TA TURN DAT COOLER AROUND 😆 LOL. LEAST DAT FISH WOULD'VE JUMPED BAC IN DA BOAT THAN DA 💧 WATER
Heck yeah lol thanks for watching brother! God bless!
@@903fishing 🤣
So you put your bobber stop at 12 feet of line?
Yes sir. Must be using a spinning reel. So the bobber stop can go in the spool! Check out this video!
czcams.com/video/EkLjFwzWsNI/video.htmlsi=vtbI_gocO1Y48wIq
Are you using braided line?
Yes sir. 10# power pro braid to a 12# mono leader. Thanks for watching! God bless
