CRAPPIE FISHING TIPS

Are you looking for some great crappie fishing tips? With crappie being one of the best tasting fresh water fish, you'll want to learn these techniques so you can catch a bunch.
The first thing you should know about crappie is they're a schooling fish, so if you catch one you can find others in the same location.
They are also a small panfish with small mouths so they won't put up much of a fight (unless you find a 2 lb. slab) and if you set the hook too hard you could tear it out of the crappie's mouth.
One of the most important crappie fishing tips is where to find them. One angler says crappies love structure so you should key on areas with prominent covers, such as brush piles, stumps, fallen trees and rock piles.

Another says in the spring you'll find them in shallow areas and deeper waters in the summer because when the summer heat is on they like to dive to cooler water.
Another essential crappie fishing tip is to find the best bait. Small minnows, one to two inches long, are the most popular live bait and worms and maggots are also used. Of course many anglers prefer lures to live bait because they're easier to use, so key crappie fishing tip is to use jigs, spinnerbaits or crankbaits. Maribou jigs with furry bodies and puffy tails are the most popular jig for crappie fishing.
Plastic lures including grubs and worms also work well for crappie. A crappie fishing tip you won't want to forget is to try the Walking Worm from www.scientificfishing.com. The site that specializes in scientifically designed lures offers the modern version of the worm lure, based on aeronautical flutter technology that makes it curl in the water like a live worm. The technology causes its tail to flutter so it resembles a live worm.
The Walking Worm won a fishing test against a crankbait and another worm lure. Fish swam by the crankbait because it wasn't a worm and passed by the worm lure because it stopped moving when it hit the bottom. But fish attacked the Walking Worm because it moved naturally in the water like a live worm.
