Tips for catching Crappie:

Crappie are the best for eating hands down. They are tricky suckers to catch though you have to find a place to catch them before you even start and sometimes this can be very tiring and frustrating. But if you go out and you find a pile of brush or fallen tree in the river start fishing around that don't use your best hooks and lures and what not until you figured out where all the snags are and if they are even there. This technique worked great for me for a while during early summer and early winter. When the water is around 62 F to 65 F is when they spawn the most.

        Crappie eat smaller fish usually so minnows or chubs or perch work great jigs don't work that well but some people think they do, remember fishing is all about personal experience it takes time to find what works for you and what don't.

        Crappie are shallow fish they tend to stay up near the top about 6 to 8 feet when the water is warm around rocks brush and banks.
