Catching Bedding Shellcracker, Lake Murray

[Music] good morning folks hey look at this ain't that pretty this is what we Target in today shell crackers beautiful shell crackers see if we can catch a couple of them for supper there's a few in here uh biding ain't many but uh we at the the shell crackers right now try to catch a the shell CRA and ain't going to mess with crappers or strappers glad y'all could be with me on another episode of Love and life hadn't been doing much uh I quit filming for about 2 weeks and uh debating whether to stop for good but anyhow we're going to try to catch a couple shell crackers on the bed uh in here today there's not many left been a lot of people already hammering them but but uh they've been bedding for about 4 days we on the tail end of it and uh we going catch a CO we're using Georgia wigglers out of a yard for bait using a number um four hook with no lead right now you can fish them with a CK but they up right on the bank so I let it go with no lead no [Music] c as the day goes on sometimes more come in but I don't know how many more left to come in here be honest with you there he goes there one there's one that's a nice one come on that's a nice one not a huge one but a good eating size you see them squirting they all males all the females done come and gone I think these are little males guarding the eggs getting too close to the beds we got to get out we going me run them all off already done it I believe we got him he reached down there and got it I put it in his bed and let it sit there and I seen him swerving around it finally took it big one too big one [Music] monster Oh My Monster look at that big old Shell cracker look at that what a big old Shell crack ain't that a pretty one good gosh look at the size of that baby huh that's a biger that Ain a bad thing about it I couldn't tell if he was biting or not and he swallowed it I reach in there and try to get it out it's down in the bottom we got it look at that beautiful brm what I me beautiful brm all right let's see if we get some more we just spot them and throw it in there let it sit on there till bikes it that's what we're trying to do wind blow him in the wrong direction messing me up we got to get out of here pushing right in to the bank get back off of them turn the boat I've caught a couple we ain't going to catch many I might have shell crack of a done night or tomorrow night I'm going try the crap it we've had terrible problems with my Liv Scope when they Rigg my Liv scope they they put my Liv scope call Cord in the call of the trolling motor and you're not supposed to do that and it wrapped up on spot locking and messed my Liv scope transducer up not to mention broke my trolling motor so if you got Liv scope on a trova trolling motor do not put the Liv scope card in the call of the card of the Mota trolling motor and they done that from uh from the uh boat dealership you would think they know how to how to mount stuff but they messed up and I didn't know any better and I that messed me up let me tell you well it's was under warranty and they did it so but it works so much better and I got the 34 transducer now which is wonderful I haven't really used it yet much I just got that [Music] done so we had trolling motor to breake we had to get another motor put in the trolling motor and they done it at of JC Outdoors they work at night on them and they were good enough to get me in and out um over in the Gilbert South Carolina I see we can spot us another fish down in here they hard to see hundreds of beds but the fish is done gone there ain't many left they either been caught or they not come and gone done the bidding we behind the fact on this one do happened they'll come in a couple days and they gone the females will come in and lay the eggs and they don't stay so it protects the females the males one jeopardize their lives to protect the eggs that's where it works I believe there's one laying that bed right there it's hard to see I don't know if y'all see them beds or not down in there probably not cuz it ain't bright Sunshine but if you pop one in the bed and just let it sit in it he can't stand it being in his bed after a while he'll bite it even if he ain't going to bite he'll bite it see if I can spot another there's a few up way against the banker kind of let's th up there away from where we at they might bite a little better oh I see the whole but I don't see the fish they might some more come in don't know what fish I see is up down a foot of water if we can get up there we might cat nothing H they hard to catch
