Any way I can catch a crappie is my favorite way. J/K I dont think anything compares to catching them casting a jig. That little line tap is a feeling that sends chills down my spine.
verticle cast/verticle jig
tightline/spider rig
troll jigs/long line troll
troll crankbaits
cork and minnow
cast
dynamite?
there are more ways to catch crappie than we can count. But I th ink each of us have a favorite way to catch them. I tightline 80% of the time. It is the most productive for me. I cast during the spawn, and crank during the summer. But, I guess it is my upbringing, I absolutely love to grab a extendable fibreglass pole and catch them with a cork and minnow in the spring. I absolutely love to watch that cork flip up and just ease under and away. That is my favorite way to catch them.

David, I'm with you on that one! I use that method most of the year but I put out 16 poles and slow troll with them. It's a widely used method in these parts.Originally Posted by David Waters

I voted tightline minnows, I guess that is what you call nightfishing. I would like to try the daytime fishing I was just shown how to do it at night and just keep on doing that way. Maybe next trip I'll go earlier and try casting or tightlining over some brush.
What can I say ,I love that thump vertical jigging brush piles.
Biguns only:D
im a nightstalking man myself.....
listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...
I usually fish early mornings and no nights
so my favorite is drift the small lake with
bobber until I find them. I love to use my
13 and 20 ft telescopic poles...
What exactly is tightlining?
Love, what more can I say
