    Default Why do you Crappie Fish


    Here's an poll about why we crappie fish. I just thought I'd throw this out there, no real reason, just curious.

    Let me know if you have any other good reasons to add to the list and I will try to do so.

    Soooo many reasons. When I'm by myself, it's primarily the peace and quiet of finding a little cove or quiet bank to just hang out and enjoy nature - what a great stress reliever it is for me. When I have others with me, it's usually my kids or (soon to be) grandkids - that would be for pawpaw bonding time. And of course, that thump of the bite, and the excitement, when you hook into a big one!

    I like the challenge of trying to figure them out. They make me look dumb sometimes. Those sunrises and sunsets would be enough on their own.
    I can't, I'm fishing.

    God made 3/4 of the planet water...that's why I fish, period. He never intended for us to do yard work...

    After a 30+ year hiatus from fishing, crappie fishing is where I landed. I got tired of golf! I target two species now, crappie on the lake and trout on the streams. I am fair, at best, on both species. I love the challenge of figuring them out.

    Never really thought about it that much but after long consideration I'm not really sure why I do.What I do know is I really do enjoy the pleasure it gives me when I get the opportunity to go and the peace and quite that comes with it. I truly enjoy fishing with my wife , kids and friends but the days I fish alone are awesome times also.

    It makes me feel like a kid again...even though I have a big boat with all the bells n whistles it's a more relaxing type of fishing that the wife and I enjoy doing together.

    Its a fun change up from prowling for big predators to matching wits with finiky Crappies...I like to flip for Crappies while parked on my favorite Cat hole...Its a blast when the Crappies are banging, and a Cat rod goes off!
