New to crappie fishing....

[urbanoutdoorzman]

I appreciate everyone's input and I have to say so far I am using Berkley minnows and I am having some success. I have fished for bass and walleye and of course bluegill..But when I caught my first crappie I was hooked and wanted to learn how to catch more of these......so now that it is getting colder and I dont have a boat..How would be the best way to catch more fish?

Urban, not sure where your from in Illinois,I'm out of Park Ridge near Ohare airport. I belong to a Fishing club Arlington Anglers and we have a fall open event on Clinton Lake Clinton Illinois. The event is open to anyone that wants to attend its not a tournament just a club outing. We mainly fish Crappie but also target Walleye and Bass. There are spots available on a few boats if needed and also boat rentals available. We all share information about whats working and where so we all catch fish. We camp on a private site that is only open to our club and guests Camp Quest. The fee for camping is $5.00 a night Saturday night we have a club fish fry and Sunday morning we have a club breakfast. We pass the hat for these two for a small donation. Its a great group of guys and its always a good time. Please feel free to contact me if you would care to join us. Again anyone is Welcome just let me know.

Welcome to the board from Millstadt, Ill. Crappie fishing is sure addictive as you are finding out. I'm located just east of St. Louis and mostly fish Kinkaid lake
and Kentucky Lake.
