Summer Crappie Fishing: Brush Piles & LiveScope Tips with Capt. Scott Ferguson

Episode #26
One of the biggest questions new anglers ask is simple: Where can I go fishing? In this episode of the Brilliant Fishing NC Podcast, I talk about how to find new fishing spots, especially when you’re new to a lake, new to fishing, or just trying to be more successful with your time on the water. We’ll talk about why finding fish is not just about getting someone’s secret spot, but learning the patterns behind why fish are where they are. We’ll also discuss the unwritten etiquette among anglers when it comes to sharing spots, asking good questions, hiring guides, studying maps, spending time on the water, and using waypoints the right way. I also share why Brilliant Fishing NC has created a free Yadkin Lakes waypoint package to help anglers get started on High Rock, Tuckertown, Badin, and Tillery. These are not secret honey holes or guarantees — they are starter points to help you learn the lakes, understand structure, and build your own confidence. You can download the free Yadkin Lakes waypoint package at the Brilliant Fishing NC website. We also offer other waypoint data packages and custom waypoint packages for anglers who want help getting oriented on new freshwater or saltwater areas. In this episode: Why new anglers struggle to find good places to fish The difference between asking for spots and learning patterns The unwritten etiquette of sharing fishing spots Why anglers dislike freeloading and “potlicking” How to ask better fishing questions Why hiring a guide can shorten the learning curve How to use waypoint packages as a tool, not a shortcut How the free Yadkin Lakes package can help you get started The goal is simple: to help you spend less time wondering where to start and more time learning, catching fish, and enjoying your time on the water. Visit the Brilliant Fishing NC website to download the free waypoint package or request a custom package for your area. #BrilliantFishingNC #FishingSpots #YadkinLakes #HighRockLake #BadinLake #TuckertownLake #LakeTillery #CrappieFishing #FishingWaypoints #NorthCarolinaFishing

Episode #24
<p>When black crappie shut down, finesse is the difference. Black crappie are notorious for being tight-lipped—especially on pressured lakes where they dominate the population. In this episode of Brilliant Fishing NC, we sit down with two highly knowledgeable crappie anglers to break down what actually works when black crappie refuse to bite. From summer brush piles to suspended open-water schools, this conversation focuses on the subtle adjustments that matter most: presentation speed, jig size and fall rate, electronics decisions, and finesse tactics that can turn lookers into biters.</p> <p>🎙️ Guests on this episode:</p> <p>* Scott Ferguson – Fishing W...
