When is the best time to start baiting your crappie hole to attract minnows? And what do some of ya'll suggest? I've read everything from pallets with the alfala bales, to range cubes, to dog food, etc.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

wonder if dropping one of them green lights down the hole would work???
If any of your piles are at the thermocline bait them first I also heard of all the things you mentioned and all work dog food in an orange sack works for me and I like oranges ( the ones with 1/4 inch holes) your mileage may vary

Best thing is to just place more crappie habitat. The more the better as micro organisms and algae will start on it then the minnows, shad, crayfish, etc. will eat them and the crappie will come. The only thing about using any type bait is that it can attract catfish then you have a catfish hole. Other than that the habitat will keep working when the other bait such as dog food, range cubes, etc. are long gone. I have heard and read that alfalfa bales of hay which was sunk was about the best though I have not tried it myself. Fish habitat place it where legal and they will come. The fish will thank you and you will be thankful later when you have that special honey hole to go to on those slow days.:twocents
I agree with you.Quote:

Last year a bud brushed a place a bit , not a lot but some and then dropped alfalfa in several areas around it . So many different things came to play it wasn’t funny and in the real cold water months the crappie were there literally by the thousands . It’s a pay dock and it was elbow to elbow with everyone dragging crappie out for hours on end .
Alfalfa Works In conjunction with cover for sure ...
