Crappie are not hard to catch. The problem is that many fishermen believe that the only time you can catch them is during spawning. This is far from true. The following crappie fishing tips will help you extend your fishing time to the point where you can catch them the entire year.

All you need is a bobber and a cane pole that has 10ft or more in length with a line hook, these items will cost you under $25. Of course you can spend much more if you get to love this sport and you wish to go to the next level, but for crappie fishing the cane pole is all that you need.

Before you attempt to go fishing, you need to learn some simple facts about this fish. In order to know the best time to catch them, or where they are located, you first need to do some investigation. A good place to do that is the internet, just do some simple exploration about crappie anatomy. Two sites with a crappie forum are TexasCrappieFishing.com and TexasFishingForum.com.

If the water is slightly cloudy or muddy, I like to use a combination of light and dark jigs. For example, a two toned lure with a glow orange head and black or brown body works well for me. Sometimes I also add some sounds of my lure with a spinner blade. Do not go too loud with the sound as crappie are spooky. It has something to do with not being on top of the food chain!

However this all changes during the summer. Then you need to search for shaded areas that are located need deep water as the fish will hold in the shaded areas but want the deeper water as an escape route. Remember that during summer months you will catch more fish at night due to the fact that the crappie usually feeds during this period.

Also one more way that is unique between these two species is the fact that white crappie prefer slow moving rivers and large lakes, while the black crappie prefer colder, clear water. However the two species can be found comingled in some large lakes.

If all else fails, do not forget the worms. Many crappie anglers believe crappie will not strike at worms but crappie are a variety of sunfish and will hit on the common earthworms or red worms. Larvae that work on bream will also catch crappie.

Also you should know that is that if your bait is below them, they won%u2019t observe it, due to the fact that the crappies eyes do not allow them to look downward. So remember, when you are going to your crappie fishing, just keep in mind the basics and there is a good possibility that you will come home with a lot of good eating fish.
