    Default Hello from Central PA


    Hi everyone,

    I am a newbe here, and somewhat new to crappie fishing. I have always been a bass fisherman and only targeted crappie a couple times a year for a fish fry.
    I have spent a lot of time searching for BIG bass.

    Long story short. I am trying to expand my horizons. Searching for the next huge bass has gotten old and lost a lot of it's allure.

    I have downsized recently. I still fish from the big boats with 8 rods on board and all that, but recently I got myself a nice fishing kayak and take out only my ultralight and a small tackle box. I have a BLAST catching any size fish, some crappie and perch, mostly bluegill, and ocasionally i'll get a really nice bass in the process too. (Who says big bass only bit on big baits!)

    Anyway, I'm not a very good crappie fisherman yet. So i'm here to try to learn from all of you.

    Thanks in advance for all the help I am sure to recieve.

    Hello from Western PA. I suppose you fished Raystown for your big bass - lots of big crappie in there too. They are a little hard to find, but once you do find them.....

    Yah I have done time in Raystown. But actually not that much, I don't like it during the pleasure boat season. it gets too hectic with the big power boats and kicks up way too much mud. in the spring and fall it is nice though. I have never even tried Crappie fishing there. i certainly will now that the traffic has calmed down.

    Can you make a recommendation where to go?
