Best Crappie Fishing

what kind of jig or flie or whatever should i use to catch some white crappie? and where should i look for them at? also , is there hardbaits for crappie? or just soft plastics? im livin in ohio and this is at one of our family ponds (we have 5)

I’ve never been Crappie fishing and not had luck using simple Crappie Jigs. They will hit these things all year round, as long as you fish them right. A Crappie Jig is nothing more than a downsized tube bait on a small jig head. You will want to add a small floater as well. Be sure not to go too big on the floater, being that Crappie will many times hit a bait fairly lightly.

How deep you set the floater somewhat depends on how deep the water is. Generally, when I’m pond fishing for Crappie, I’ll start out with my floater placed about a foot and a half up my line. If nothing hits it, I switch to 2 feet or so, and so on. Go deeper and deeper until you start getting hit pretty consistently. They will probably be hanging out pretty deep with how hot it’s been lately. If you have some overhanging trees providing shade over the water, it will probably be a good place to start fishing.

As far as fishing them goes, it’s not difficult. Cast it out, let it sit for 5-10 seconds, twitch it 3 or 4 times, reel in the slack, then pause again. Repeat that throughout your retrieve.

Crappie like holding on to cover. Any downed trees, rocks, stumps, shade, etc will hold Crappie throughout just about any given day. Cast towards these things, and fish them thoroughly.

Temperatures in Florida are rarely in the freezing range. When it drops to freezing temperatures, farmers spend all day preparing for the freeze, and must stay up all night to watch their crops. There are different means of protecting crops. Strawberry growers wait for just the right temperature to turn on sprinklers to cover crops with a protective layer of ice. Orange growers set out ’smudge pots’ to warm up temperatures in orange groves. Workers have to put in extra hours to harvest what they can and get it to market. The more loss there is, the higher the prices we all have to pay at the market.

Many homeless shelters must kick in to high gear as well. The emergency shelters that only are open for extreme weather are opening and must be prepared for high numbers of people.

There are other industries that rely on warm weather that are impacted as well, such as tropical fish farms.

While it is rare for Florida to drop below freezing, and when it does, it is usually only for one or two days at a time, this cold spell is predicted to last for at least a week. Believers, Florida can use your prayers. Will you pray?
sophieb; true, freezing temps usually occur in the wee hours of the morning. Preparing for it is around the clock. And the impact of just a few hours can destroy crops, and cause produce prices to skyrocket.

Prayers to Florida!

I catch bass in here all the time with a mepps and i catch a 12 in crappie so now i want to know how to catch some of the crappie that are in there. the water is really stained but not really muddy. what would u use to catch the crappie in the pond? i have a bunch of little crappie jigs but i dont catch anything on them.

There are 2 ways that I usually tear up the crappie with.The first way being go to wal-mart,and find a Z-man micro white chatterbait.Then buy Berkley Powerbait Power Grubs in white for a trailer.Put the grub on the chatterbait and that will get the crappie going,and bass sometimes.The second way is getting a Strike King Bits Pond Minnow in white or Sexy Shad.This will get Crappie,Bass and Bluegill biting.But DEFINITELY the Crappie!

I’m from Minnesota and live on a lake up North, with moderate ice fishing pressure, and I need help as to how to get started. First off, a got a deal on a clam 2 person sled ice shelter, and will be using that. It has four holes. I need to know what kind of line to be using, the best rod for the price, the bait and presentation to be used, items to take along (I will be towing behind snowmobile), and location. There is a sunken roadbed on my lake which has lots of people fishing it, and I believe it’s about 10-12 feet deep. What are they catching? I need to know some popular presentayion tactics for Crappie, Walleye, and Northern. I’ve learned a little about rattle reals, and thought that with 2 people in the house, you jig 2 rods and have 2 rattle reels set up. By the way, how DO you set them up? I need to know what kind of gear, location, and presentation I need to give each of those 3 species listed above.

Thanks for reading and the help.

I live and ice and summer fish in northern minnesota. For ice fishing walleye/crappie I use a light ice spinning rod with 6lb line. I have them set up with slip bobbers with a jigs, mainly and with minnows for bait. For pike I use a tip up. With a large minnow. As far as the old road bed I would guess they are fishing for walleye. I also use a vexlair and a under water camera. Best of luck.
