procraft, just find a main lake or creek dock that is close to the channel and use small jigs, count them down and experiment until you find the depth that they are holding. It's really that simple. What part of town do you live in? If you live close to WT we might be able to hook up for a couple of hours after work.

Instead of coming home with a empty stringer , lets take a look at some crappie fishing tips that will fill your cooler on your next crappie fishing trip.
#1 Crappie Fishing information always catch your bait from the same water you are going to fish. Chances are crappie will spit out anything that is not natural to their habitat.
#2 Crappie Fishing information If you fish from a boat and have a fish finder you need to be able to identify large schools of crappie when they show up on your fish finder. When you spot what looks like a upside Christmas tree on the screen this a large school of crappie.
#3 Crappie Fishing tips When you locate a large school of crappie never fish in the middle of the school. Work the edges of the school so you don't spook the fish.

Now mark your line with a permanent magic marker , preferably a bright color. The reason you mark your line is so you can go right back to the same depth the next time you drop your line.

Do what Polo says and you will become a proficient crappie fisherman in all seasons. You don't have to wait until the spawning season when anyone can catch them. You will learn more in 2 hours with Polo than in numerous hours using the other techniques that you read about.

Look who's talking DK! I learned almost all I know about the way I fish for crappies from you. Really, I almost never fished for crappie until I met you and learned to shoot docks. I've put some new things together in my head as to why the fish do what they do and why they are where they are but without your input I'd still be flippin' minners. It's really been a blessing learning from you DK, thanks.
