  • How to

    I can't justify spending thousands of years on fishing. Got me an old boat with a 50 and a $99 depth finder. I'd sure appreciate tips on catching crappie on my level. Just found your show about 6 months ago but I'm enjoying it. Thanks.

  • Super Informative

    Love the show. Super informative! One request: don’t spilt the mics between R/L channels. Some guys need to have only one earbud in and we can’t hear the full conversation.

    Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Do Crappie Go After The Spawn
Q: What is a mistake that you see a lot of fishermen making?
Many fishermen spend too much time on a brush pile just because they see the fish; if they don't bite after several casts, they should move on.
How Different Crappie Lakes Have Different Personalities
Q: What are some of the ways you're setting up now to fish compared to spider rigging?
Typically I want to slow down my presentation and possibly use smaller jigs as it gets colder.
AG&F Biologist and Crappie Club Team Up
Q: What are some ways that you guys actually go out and research a lake?
They use a combination of angler interviews, creel surveys, electrofishing, and net sampling to gauge the health of the fishery.
AG&F Biologist and Crappie Club Team Up
Q: How long does it take a 10-inch crappie to grow?
A 10-inch crappie typically takes around two and a half to three years to reach that size.
Learn the Basics of Tying a Crappie Jig
Q: What style of jig head should beginners start with?
Beginners should start with an eighth ounce jig head, as it's big enough to handle mistakes but still fishable.
