    Default Anyone have any weird ways to catch crappie ( For magazine article)


    Does anyone have any weird or different ways to catch crappie that you've created yourself or found through years of experience? I'm talking things that you would get weird stare's for or stuff that is downright crazy, but catches big crappie? It will be used in an article and will be in the Winter edition of Crappie world magazine, feel free to message them to me if you don't feel comfortable posting them

    At bridge when you see them and they will not bite ,you can take a1/8 jig cast past them ,count down to depth and jerk bait upward quickly, drop wind and jerk again toward boat will get a few out of the groop before they shut down again, also at bridge and brush when they will not bite, if you will put a little jig 1/64 or less and only about 3/8 inch with a split shot and drop straight down over them and keep it still for 30 seconds then one jiggle and rest again will get a few more. It will surprise you how big a fish in that brush will take it when you have just tried a 1/16 that was about 2 inches long. I just cut off the tail of a straight tail bait like a BGSS style ,however it is one I make, but if it is skinnie and little it will work in all season.

    But they tear them up so bad who'd eat 'em??
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
