    Default Favorite Methods


    I am new to the board so I am not sure if this question has been asked, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys/gals favorite methods were to catch Crappies? My favorite would definitely be pitching tube jigs along a weedline...

    My Favorite is trolling with the troll motor and then probably tight lining over a brush pile or at night over a creek.

    Vertical jigging has given me the most success. But if I could get them to bite as good (like heavy spawn when they're biting everything), I would rather use my fly rod. They're just way more fun to land on the fly.

    Exclamation That's easy ....

    for me, it's casting a weedless jighead with a plastic tube body ... to submerged wood, with my favorite "submerged wood" being a blowdown
    Second to that .... "shooting docks" :D
    Then it would be "Vertical Casting" thru the limbs of a blowdown, or standing timber.

    I don't mind "longline trolling", tightlining a minnow, FnF casting (jig under float), or any other productive method ... I just don't utilize these methods as much as I do the "casting" techniques.
    Heck, I still get a thrill out of watching a float go under :p ... but, there's just something about that "thump", that keeps me excited, and full of anticipation. I'm sedentary enough, at home, so I like to be moving and "doing something", when I'm fishing ... casting is my "exercise routine" :D

    Ice fishing I'll verticle jig the slabbers & in the spring i'll work a light jig under a cork around the shallows.
    Once walleyes open up I'm trolling a sassy shad on a jig.

    Slow vertical trolling off the bow with 14ft rods. Reminds me of night fishing trips as a kid off the bank for catfiish with a zebco and a forked stick. Seeing that tap or a crappie pull that pole in the water down under the boat in front of me is addictive.
