Electronics are valuable tools for crappie anglers and their technology continues to advance at a rapid pace. Crappie University 2019 instruction includes sonar discussions.
materials and audio-visual presentations by a team of crappie experts who will cover a wide range of topics relevant to the geographic area. The use of electronics will be a point of focus for all 2019 classes,
including the latest technology just hitting the market.


Crappie University classes are instructional programs and not seminars, therefore they differ from the presentations commonly offered at sporting goods stores and sport shows. Instead, Crappie University instructors teach detailed explanations of their fish finding and catching strategies around all kinds of situations and throughout the year. And all sessions allow questions-and-answers time with the instructors.


The instructors are full-time crappie guides, professional anglers and fishing industry experts, and include some of the best-known crappie authorities in the sport, such as "Crappie Coach" Barry Morrow, Kyle Schoenherr, Todd Huckabee, Kevin Rogers, Clyde Folse, Jeff Faulkenbarry, Kris Mann, John Godwin and more.


All instructors have developed their techniques and honed their skills from countless hours on the water pursuing crappie.


A listing of instructors, their biographies and class topics can be found at Crappie Univeristy.
