Dang they are deep!
Up here in PA, the crappie have the "feed bag" on!
I'm having good catches with deep water jigging. The best for me is MicroSpoons plastic, 1" white tubes, and Gulp Alive minnows.
Tight Lines,
Dang they are deep!
They do like the deep this time of year. Nice catch.
One of my favorite Fall/Winter lakes has an old strip mine attached to the Northern end of it. When the water gets South of 50 degrees the fish stack up in there like cord wood. You can catch them anywhere from 20ft., to dead on the bottom in 60ft of water. It's funny seeing them suckers roll over on their side with the bends from coming up too fast!!

What will this Arctic Blast do to your crappie in PA?

chaunc,
Same here! I usually catch Crappie with a slip float and 6' of line with a small jig and a small plastic minnow.
In the spring, I catch hundreds in all the coves that way. Even all winter (with no ice of course) I catch them in 10' of water suspending 6' down.
This lake is 5' down while they are fixing the dam. It has the crappie all messed up. I have a fish finder, so I can see where they are.
