    Default Blacknose crappie


    My home lake in Illinois is being heavily stocked with blacknose crappie. Do they have any different characteristics than black/white crappie? Fight harder, bite easier, same habitat?

    They are really a beautiful fish! I've caught a few this year and forgot my camera each time. By the time I got home, they had lost color.

    I need to buy a camera just for the boat, I reckon, but until then, I bum my wife for hers, once I get them home.

    Have a ball catchin' those beauts!

    Siverside; They tend to hang out more with the blacks here on our lake but.....they will mingle too. And yeah they hit and fight harder from my experience so go have a blast!

    I catch these from time to time; I have a post somewhere where I was asking about them. I was told they are a mutation of a black crappie, so they should act the same, but from what I have seen, they tolerate slightly warmer water and tend to stick together. Case in point: I have caught blackstripe-noses at 5 feet on a stick-up when white and black crappie were locating on the same stick-up at 12 feet. I have also caught them utilizing moss beds (coontail) in shallow water (a few feet deep) in the summertime when white and black crappie were hanging in deeper moss beds.
    Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

    Up here in Ontario we have mostly blacks and come spawn time the male faces turn black and I asume that is just part of their change in preperation for the spawn.
    They have not yet started to put their masks on up here yet.
