Gogebic Crappies

Larry Smith Outdoors

Carbon Score: 8.2

This week Larry heads north to the pristine, peaceful waters of Michigan's Upper Peninsula for an incredible adventure on massive Lake Gogebic. He's joined by expert guide Justin Soffa of Just Fish Guide Service, who has the bite completely dialed in. With the lake's ecosystem on fire from recent bug hatches, the guys are targeting giant, hungry crappies. Justin shows Larry how slow-rolling plastics and paddle tails on tungsten jigs over sunken trees and deep-water cribs is the key to loading the boat with monster paper-mouths. The action is non-stop as Justin breaks down his top summer tactics, from specific gear choices to his unique and effective bobber setup that every crappie angler needs to see. Then, for a change of pace, he breaks out the ol' tried-and-true gold hammered spoon to put a few classic Gogebic walleyes in the boat. From modern plastics to classic spoons, this episode is packed with fish-catching action and tips you won't want to miss.
