JUST CAUGHT: Crappie Machine

Karl hooks up with legendary Florida crappie guide Jack Smith after a bucket list request to experience this deadly way to catch big black crappie when the sun goes down with his unique system of submerged neo green lights that attract baitfish and in turn the big nighttime slabs.

Oklahoma crappie guide Joshua Matthew explains how using Forward Facing Sonar can help you find those roaming crappies when they are roaming from brush piles in low light conditions and how to catch crappie with tiny hair jigs and light action spinning rods.

Karl and buddy ‘seabass’ are hunting for black crappie prior to spawning in front of spawning back bays with sensitive slip floats and soft plastic baits suspended just above the weed beds and catching a bunch of thick black crappie. The hottest bait colours and when to move from the weed clumps when the bite slows down.
