Crappie fishing California Style + Youtube Video
Hi guys. I know most of you guys are down in the south, but I wanted to show you guys how us west coast crappie fisherman do it. I fished Clear Lake last weekend and between the two days caught literally over 200 crappie. Most are about a pound to a pound and a half with some good ones pushing 2.5+. Haven't caught any in the 3 pound range yet, but they are there. Bait used was a variety of Fin-S-Shad, Panfish Assassins, Wooly Beavers, and regular tube jigs worked with a finger twitching technique. Not only does this impart a very convincing swimming action to your lure, but the line on your fingertip also aids in strike detection, which is often quite subtle.
Hope you guys enjoy the video. All fish were released.
