    Default So what lures/bait do you use for crappie fishing?


    I use blue flys with chartruse heads with minnows.
    Other times white flys with red or chartruse heads.

    Any tips for colors as far when to use for certain water conditions?

    Default Jigs

    Hair jigs and tube jigs both with crappie nibbles at times.
    All colors. Blue/white, grey, white/silver/chart, white/chart/orange, black/chart, pink/pearl, chart & pepper, pumpkinseed & pepper, cottoncandy, black/blue, orange/chart. Dark water or overcast skys-dark bait. Clear water or clear skys-Blue and white!! (Or any lighter color.) I change until I find what they want. As the sun changes positions, what they can see & what they want will change.

    Default Good Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Crappie jigs most of the time. As for the color Black and yellow for overcast days, yellow and white (are the colors I use most of the time).

    Arrow Charger ...

    I'm kinda partial to :

    1/16oz weedless jighead with blu/char, green/char, pink/char tubes
    1/32-1/16oz Roadrunners - marabou ... solid Chartreuse, or solid Pink
    1/32-1/16oz weedless jighead with Panfish Assassin body
    1/16oz generic Crappie jigs - marabou tail/chenille body - solid White, solid Chartreuse

    Though I have a two sided Plano suitcase style tacklebox full of Crappie stuff ... these have been my most productive lures, on the lakes I fish. ........ cp

    I am sold on Road Runner heads, usually either chartreuse or white. Baily magnet or crappie thunder bodies in black/char, blue/pink or white/red. If they are real finicky I go with a small white jig head and a small tube. In stained water 58-65 degrees I haven't found anything better than black/char road runner though.
