How to Catch Panfish the Easy Way – Fishing Open Water When It’s Cold!

How to Catch Panfish the Easy Way Fishing Open Water When Its Cold - Realistic Fishing

In the second episode this week, I’m showing how to catch panfish the easy way. Bank fishing season isn’t over just because it’s cold outside – open water when its cold can still produce fish. Using a very simple rig consisting of a float (bobber), a pinch on sinker and a hook, I’m able to quickly catch about a dozen fish from the bank. When its cold outside and the fish are getting picky about what they eat, its hard for them to resist a live red worm. YUMMY. Using only two worms today I am able to catch fish after fish. Whether you want them for bait or want to eat a few, you can still find success when its cold outside. Its in the low 40s right now and I am still catching fish in open water. It really is easy enough for anyone to try it.

In the final episode this week, I am fishing for crappie with PowerBait minnows. With the right lure and a little patience, fall crappie fishing can be rewarding.

After a slow start catching only one bluegill, I finally get into some crappie. In the end, I manage to catch three of them in the 9-11 inch range. I also catch a pretty large bluegill in the mix. So if you have a chance to go fishing for fall crappie, the PowerBait minnow just might help you catch a few.
