fishing for crappie in winter on Kentucky Lake by guide Donald Barnes
Crappie fishing can also be excellent in local farm ponds. Long-time “Kentucky Afield” fan Mark Chandler invites Farmer to reel in some whopper black crappie in Shelby County.

Well done. That structure specific type of crappie fishin aint for the novices. Keep landing them slabs!
my favorite fishing problem: which fish do i reel in first?
@TheBuckhunter12 2 quick summaries for your confusion…
The Carolina crappie fishing rig requires a main reel line, a barrel swivel, somewhere around six feet of leader line, a weight, a brass (or glass) bead or rattle chamber, and a hook. While there are a lot of parts and pieces involved, it’s definitely worth using, as it will achieve results every time.
People also troll with a modified carolina rig with a bigger weight like 3 ounces or so to keep the line straight down while moving.
@TheBuckhunter12 Well dumbass there are several ways to fish it. Maybe before you decided to look like a real ass you might do a little research first. Carolina rigs are used for water 10-12 feet jigging with the weight suspended off the bottom people also use drop shot for crappie.. I would post a link to several but it’s easy to search carolina rig crappie. Now go back and sulk in you stupidity.
@stratosguy1 Are you serious? You do know a Carolina rig is for bass right!? Dumbass?
damn gramps, get some WD40
Jim you must be good we here about you in Atlanta
i like the squeaky chair
Are you using a carolina rig? If so what size weight, and are you using a swivel and a bead?
WD40 pops
Awesome vid! Thanks Donald
you might need a new chair
@TheScotts74
The depth I fish in the winter time varies due to the temperature of the water. It can be anywhere from 12 ft to 25 ft. As far as the bait I use, 95% of the time I use a 3/32 jig head with various colors of jig skirts made by Southern Pro. I usually tip my jigs with Berkley crappie nibbles.
what do you use for bait and how deep do you fisah in the winter
Very nice video! Would love to see another, but i know it takes a lot to make one. just out of curiosity, i saw you got a new boat, what kind did u get?
Great video! I am going to buy you some WD-40 for that seat……HaHa
@gofishin1996 bass pro shops carries them.
You can get the baskets at walmart or dicks
anyone no where to get one of them baskets?
whats with the chain mesh pot net thing?
i’ve been fishing sence i was 5 and im 12 now
nice fish
are there any like this in minnesota?
nice crappies
@jtschid0910 dont take this the wrong way but i jus bought my brand knew bass cat puma ftd and i have my big dodge mega cab and you guys are all about y spend the money because its what i love to do i spend money on my boat so i can go 87 mph on the delta or on the lake haveing a boat is more than you expect…..when you own a boat and start fishing tournaments youll understand there is a brother hood beyond what people see….so dont judge till you ride and fish outa a bass boat
Crappie on an acre pond, must have good management. Do you stock minnows (shiners) each year?
1:11 to 1:42 That is what I have said my whole life. Now don’t get me wrong, I do release some of the smaller fish but, why would anybody spend that much money to watch the darn things swim away!
ive fished for 2 years since i was 9 im 11 right now
@assaultcrusader
go fish the ponds of bonita springs.
awesome!
My best secret spot is filled with catfish trying to swim against the current. And I never caught crappie before
Anyone got good freshwater spots near palm bay fl. ?
i like this video nice guys
i love fishing of of boats but i love fishing from the bank better also where are you cacthing those monsters?
This reminds me of my childhood, full of outdoor memories and great fun. I feel bad for the kids I see in the city who don’t even know how to tie a hook.
I can say you have a nice fishing spot there, it sucjs that you can’t fish at alot of good ponds because people leave trash around. Good fishing you guys have there keep it up,cornbread
@FishboiFishboi they keep them int he cage only because they dont want to cach the small ones again
@jumar1281 Dont get fooled into the certain fish only like certain things. Fish eat to survive just like we do. I have seen the biggest fish eat the smallest worms. Even silly things like Hot Dogs, Corn, baloney, etc etc. All of those things you mentioned will work for crappies. Things that mimic minnows may work better because that is their main food source, but dont think you cant catch them on plastics and nightcrawlers.
That;s living right there!
i like the thinking of these guys. catching and not releasing
@jumar1281 i’m more of an artificial man b/c minnows can run out fast and its really annoying when the crappie are hitting left to right. so for me i like using red heads and green tails.
@jumar1281 go to wal-mart or order on-line some crappie jigs some of the best colors is black and chartreuse and red and charteuse…but you can try any color you want or what works in your area
Nothing like seeing the full moon glistening over Weiss lake while coming over the bridge…
