River Crappie Fishing

Muskrat and me crappie fishing
Video Rating: 5 / 5

Doing a bit of summer fishing on an extremely hot and muggy day on Lake Houston with my brother. Caught a few crappie, catfish and bream and had fun. The hot temperature ended up driving us back to the boat dock.

    Hey! I really liked your video. You should think about submitting it to the Mercury Film Festival, starting June 3rd. You could win a free outboard or a fishing trip. You can find more information about rules, prizes, and eligibility at the Mercury website.

    Good luck!

    what did use for bait

  17. ShinBone5000 says:

    If it’s very deep, I like to use a slip bobber. Makes it easier to cast if needed and easier to reel in a fish if in close.

  18. MrRicecreamjello says:

    thanks for the tip, but what was the rig you were using was it a simple rig or did you tinker with the bobber

  19. ShinBone5000 says:

    We were using a portable depth finder and found crappie in the deeper holes along the old river canal. Hope you can find some.

  20. MrRicecreamjello says:

    ive tried and tried to catch a crappie on lake houston, been fishing there all my life and never caught a single one

  21. ShinBone5000 says:

    Wasn’t too much, you can check their website or call them at 281-324-9199. I just looked at their website and it stated that they “were closed due to the drought”.

  22. 92stripes says:

    how much is it to rent the boats?

  23. emilemil1998 says:

    ok thanks man
    great video look at my videos
    

  24. ShinBone5000 says:

    - Minnows and worms under bobbers.

  25. emilemil1998 says:

    what kind of bait were you using?

  26. ShinBone5000 says:

    – Yeah, they’ve got a couple of flatbottoms you can rent. We brought along our own electric motor to move around the lake a little quicker. Check out there website at bjsmarina.

  27. thefishinginHS says:

    can u rent a boat there

  28. ShinBone5000 says:

    – Rented a flatbottom from BJ’s Marina off of Calvin road and were fishing roughly 1/2 mile south towards the bridge in the main river channel, 20′ deep. Used crappie minnows and a bobber but would rather use jigs when they’re hitting good.
