Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets
Crappie fishing is a great way to break into the sport of fishing but you do need to know where to find them. I have identified some sure fire crappie catching locations that always seem to hold a good population of crappie. I think this information will help you on your next fishing trip for crappies, regardless if you are a beginner or an experienced angler.
#1 Savvy crappie fisherman who fish from a boat figured out years ago that if you follow the Threadfhin Shad ( Dorosoma petenense ) schools you will find the big slab crappie. Unfortunately these small little crappie bait fish do not habitat through out the entire crappies habitat range, but if you happen to live in any states that are west of the Appalachian mountains , north to Kentucky, west to East Texas, south to the Rio Grand drainage, and east to Florida. You are in luck. Also California and Arizona have introduced the Threadfin Shad to there large Lake and reservoir systems. These little critters typically like noticeable current and stay primarily in the upper five feet of the waters they frequent. Tip: Set all you crappie fishing rigs between the depths of 2 to five feet until your baits are at the same depths as the shad schools. This is where the large crappies will come up to feed.
#2 Look for small ponds and water impoundments that are adjacent to main bodies if water that have a defined access to the main watershed area. These area are the prime feeding grounds for hungry crappie. When you find these areas look for isolated stumps, and sunken trees, also fish around the perimeter of this area, and any significant drop off in depth may hold crappie.
#3 On any body of water that you fish whether you are fishing from the bank or from a boat look for a isolated tree or stump. These areas will always hold crappie.
#4 Believe it or not Cypress trees are crappie catching magnets , but you need to know when to fish them. In the spring fish the cypress trees that are located in shallow shoreline waters. In the summer and winter fish the cypress trees that are located near a deeper water drop off, where the crappie have easy access.
#5 Don’t overlook man made fish shelters and attractors. Check with your local state department of natural resources to find maps to these areas. Now the next time your out looking for the ultimate crappie catching hole use this crappie fishing information to your advantage! Good Luck On Your Next Fishing Trip!
