    Default Ocean crappie


    Has anyone fished for crappie in saltwater? Just reading about it today. I had no idea they were in saltwater. 🤷🏻*♂️

    I have not heard that before. I have caught them in brackish waters.

    Never heard of that.
    Don’t think they can survive salt water.
    They may be talking about speckled trout. Kinda look like crappie but have a couple teeth on top and bottom.
    Maybe you can post the article.
    I would be interested in reading.
    Thanks

    No crappie in the ocean. However I have caught flounder and crappie in the same river. (Brackish water)

    They sure can't tolerate any salinity here, they ball up in the last few miles of freshwater in the Pearl River when the salinity gets anywhere off freshwater.

    Saltwater crappie fishing is like freshwater shark fishing.

    I’ve heard of crappie living in brackish water. If I were fishing brackish water, though, I would not be targeting crappie.

    Flounder would be my target for inshore salt water. Mighty fine eating and a lot of fun to catch.
