Today I want to talk about the two setups that we're going to be using for this early pre spawn phase. The first one is the six and a half foot casting rod, just a simple jig, six pound mono casting it out. And the second one is if we can find schools of suspended croppy, specifically these black croppy have been schooled up real tight. We can use either the eight foot or in this case we're using the six and a half footer again. We're using the bobber setup with just a jig and then later this afternoon we're actually going to try out some live minos on some fish that we found that are on some tree tops. This first setup is the six and a half foot casting rod, just straight jig, getting these single croppy out of the middle of the creek channels. Here comes one. Yep, there he is. Got him. Took him a while though. I'd really suspend that bait in front of his nose. That's a good fish. That's a big, you get that net. Flipping? Oh man, six pound mono. We're flipping. Flipping on six pound mono, okay. Look at that man. That's a big tank. Now these are the croppy bullshows known for right? Big black croppy. That's what we came for. That's what we came for. Pound in a quarter maybe. Is it in here? Oh yeah, I caught it. Let's see what this guy is. 127, yeah, pound in a quarter. Solid, solid black croppy. Don't know live well. In case you missed part one and part two of this video series, Kyle and I have been using side imaging to scan from the mouth of the creek channels all the way up into the creek arms themselves. During this time frame, water temps are somewhere between 40 to 45 degrees. And as water temps warm up, these croppy are going to transition from the mouth of the creek channels, which is their late wintering area, through the creek channel and into the spawning flats once water temps reach that upper 50 or low 60 degree mark. During this pre spawn phase, Kyle and I are searching for croppy along river bends. Kyle and I are finding random schools of croppy out in the middle of the creek channels. Some of them are suspended just off the bottom. Oftentimes we're finding single big fish suspended just below the surface as water temps warm up and as weather temperatures warm up, these croppy will slide just below the surface to sun themselves. A good one too, dude. This is a freaking hammer too. These are some good fish. That's another good black croppy. Wow, yes sir. Moped them. Another just tank of a black and I'm in there eating it. Starting the morning off right. Oh my god. Boat back down, take that. These are aggressive fish too. It's always nice when you don't even have to check on the size for the live well. This guy's 11, 11 and a half maybe. Solid solid fish. We're gonna be busy tonight cutting that fish. Here it comes. Here it comes. Good fish. Oh, he's not big but he doesn't feel huge. Yeah buddy, I think it's another one of those. Double banks. This section might be a bigger one. This is a better fish I think. Yep. Not a keeper. Healthy black croppy. Oh yeah. Fat too. Going to the level. So that was a segment with the six and a half foot casting rod just a straight jig trying to single out those big croppy in the middle of the creek channel. This next segment is talking about the slip bobber setup. Something you've seen me use a number of times. I will link other videos of how to tie this up. But it's pretty simple. Just tie slip knot above your inline slip bobber and just tie a loop knot to a jig head like this. And then today we're using the ACC croppy sticks shank with a clear pattern and chartreuse tail just casting out on these big schools of Suspena Cropy in the middle of the creek channel. There's one. Oh yeah. Are we still recording a little drone? Sure. Should we tie it? Well there is croppy number one on the slip bobber. Working on getting some drone footage for you guys. But super simple setup. I already have shown it to you guys. That was the intro part of the video. Show them how to do the tie up a slip bobber. Let's get back down there and see if we can catch another one. Get them. Yes. Good fish. Lift up. I think you're good. That's a nice croppy. Slip bobbers has got to be one of my favorite way to fish for croppy. There's just something about watching a slip flow go underwater. Got them on the bobber rig. Alright. Another keeper. Can we buddy? Got out of the wind a little bit and found a real nice school black croppy. So after about an hour of idling around using our side imaging, Kyle and I were able to find a tree with some croppy suspended inside of it and above it. The slip bobber technique is great when you're vertically fishing over a piece of cover. It allows you to keep your jig or your minnow out of that piece of cover preventing the snag but still allows you to fish for them. As you can see here, Kyle hooks up with a decent croppy. Huge thank you to Don, who caught this croppy here for allowing us to stay in his cabin on bullsholes lakes so we were able to fish as much as we want, basically until dark and we just ran back to the dock and parked our boat at his house. So huge thank to him. If you were interested in this slip bobber, you can get it right now for just one dollar. If you sign up for the two more casts tackle box subscription program and after your first month you're going to get a pack of cool baits, plastics, some crankbaits, jerkbaits, hair jigs, a bunch of cool stuff that you can catch croppy year round with.
