How do you go about locating crappie?
Turn on the electronics and eliminate dead water. Too much of the time we eliminate dead water with our baits. I will go to the areas I SUSPECT they will be then find them. Those big expensive units aren't for decoration. Spend time locating the fish.
A friend of mine fished a big BASS tournament a couple of years ago with a big-name touring pro. They rode around looking at the electronics for well over 2 hours before ever putting a bait in the water. When the pro said "There they are!" it was on and they both finished very well.
Thanks Doug! Unfortunately...(.I am very new to the fishing game and love to catch crappie.) being clueless as to where they are is a given for me! But that is part of the fun/challenge. i appreciate your answer!
Glad to help. Feel free to ask me when the Forum is done. If I don't know I won't BS my way thru it.
