    Default All the different names Crappie are called


    A few I can think of now
    Speckled perch
    Sacalait****
    Specks

    Surely a lot more regional names are out there

    Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, speckled bass or specks (especially in Michigan), speckled perch, white perch, crappie bass, calico bass (throughout the Middle Atlantic states and New England), and Oswego bass.

    My Grandpa used to call them "Newlights" every now and then & had me until I realized he was talking about Crappie & not some other fish I'd never heard of before.

    Aggravating when they take lockjaw and won't bite.
