    Default there is one bait that is deadly.


    for many years before there was a plastic baits on the market we used to use cut bait by catching one crappie and cutting little thin slices of the back and using it for crappie only me if they are anything like it used to be they cannot resist it.
    I still today the use of pieces of white meat from the crappie on my jigs or plastic bait. make sure that you check with your game laws in your state before you try this.

    I’m guessing the one you cut up still counts towards your limit

    I wonder if cut brim would work also? Crappie being a predator and all.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Can't use any part of crappie as bait on the big four here.

    We cannot use crappie for bait here either, but bream is different. Here is what Florida Wildlife Commission has on their website pertaining to fishing with live bait.

    Use of fish for bait



    • Black bass, peacock bass or any part thereof may not be used as bait.
    • Live non-native fishes (including goldfish and carp) may not be used as bait, except for variable platys and fathead minnows.
    • Whole pickerel or panfish (e.g., bluegill, redear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, spotted sunfish, flier, warmouth) or parts thereof may be used as bait for sportfishing by the angler who caught them. Whole pickerel or bream or parts thereof may not be used as bait for trotlines or bush hooks or any method other than by rod and reel or pole and line.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Skeetbum catches warmouth on the river often, I'm not sure if he's tried tipping jigs with strips of them for crappie. I hadn't remembered them being legal as bait until I posted the regs above.

    Here in KY, most lakes have a size limit on Crappie, with a few having no size limit ... but, using them as bait is illegal. But, even if legal to do, it would be easier and more "constructive" (in a conservation way) to just catch a Green Sunfish and use meat strips from it. No "bream" species are considered "sport fish" except the Shellcracker (Redear Sunfish) ... but, even they can be used as bait if less than 6" long. All the others (Bluegill, Longear, Pumpkinseed, etc) are legal to use for bait at any size.

    I mentioned Green Sunfish because they're so easy to catch. All I have to do is cast a 1/16oz marabou Road Runner within a foot or two of the shoreline of a rocky bank, and chances are I'll have one on ... sometimes before I can even close the bail or start to make a turn of the reel handle !!

    A small jig tipped with a wax worm is hard to beat too.

    Wouldn't it be easier to just tip your jig with a minnow?
