Went to the local bait shop which sells thing such as rabbit, frog legs, bluegill fillets, etc. They fillets they had still had the skin on one side. When I fillet crappie I usually just keep the...

Very nice! I actually grew up right around Heritage Lake and only live about 15 minutes from there.

I hit cataract today and didn't have much luck. Brought home 5 crappie and 1 bluegill in about...

Wow nice bluegill!

Thats good to know, crappieken! I will have to look into that.

I do alot of weight lifting and obviously protein is essential to building muscle. I absolutely love crappie and bluegill and eat an...

Do they exist or should I just compare it to other fish such as catfish which values are readily available for?

Lots of useful info and tips here!

Awesome responses and very informative. I too would like to know a sure yes or no on salt and why?

Excellent. Thanks fellas!

Hey everyone.

I've ran into an abundance of crappie over the past week and have about 7 quart bags full of crappie. I've noticed after a couple days they appear to be getting some form of ice on...

Got back out to the same area today. My friend and I both caught our limit in about 2 hours, plus another cat. They were biting extremely well today in the afternoon.

I'm taking a week break or so.

This is pretty basic but it really will give you some delicious baked crappie, if you enjoy baked fish.

I take several crappie fillets and SPARRINGLY sprinkle them with:

Seasoning Salt
Garlic...

I always deep fry mine at 375 basically until the frying noise dies down completely. They are then ready to be seasoned!

I did get the temperature and was mainly fishing docks. About 5-12 is what I was catching them in.

Just got back. Brought 17 home and a catfish. Had something big snap my line as I had my drag set...

Went out today and a friend and I both easily caught our limit in 2 hours. Saw another group of 2 guys who had a cooler full, look like about 100. They split real quick.

I'd say the average was...

Caught 1 fairly sized good crappie the week I was down there. I stay around Hickory Star so I don't get down to Big Sycamore.

Anyways, has anyone else seen the Ford Explorer who barreled through...

Still about 45ft high as of tonight. Was gonna try to do some night fishing. A friend was working the check in tonight and let us through. We tried fishing a little bit off the "ramps" but I got...

I live about 25 miles from Waveland. Never fished there though. I generally go to Cataract to suit my crappie needs and fish Big Walnut for smallies. I prefer live bait and road runner crappie...

I was just gonna do some dock fishing, but didn't get around to it Monday as my son ran a fever and I had to stick by his side all day.

I may try to get out to Cataract in the next few days. I hope they are biting

What crankbait would you fellas recommend for fishing a deep lake? I was thinking about the baby 1-minus but it only runs about a foot deep and I dont think that will be sufficient.

Wow sounds like a good place to fish. I've put thousands of windows and tons of doors in at houses on Morse, including Doug Moores mansion (owner of RT Moore). I may have to get out there one day to...

Anyone here fish it? I have a friend who has family there and I am going to be there this weekend fishing. Last time we were there we caught some good sized bluegill and kentucky bass but no crappie....

I was at the Casino in French Lick a couple months ago. I knew there were white oak cabins in Monticello, didn't know they had them down there.

Thanks for that. Carl stays open all year. Is the cleaning station open by chance?

Yeah. I've beeb out there 5-6 times since December and didnt go so much as a bite.

Anyone been out there lately? I'm dying to catch some crappie as it's been since October since I've reeled one in. Wondering if they are beginning to bite there.

Suppose to be a new record temp today, 66, so I am going fishing!

I'm looking for suggestions, as a friend suggested bee moth are better this time of year than minnows. I don't own a boat, so I...

Wow, this makes me wish I had a boat. I haven't done well lately. Got out to Big Walnut today and caught some smallies, biggest being a 17"

I really appreciate all the useful information! There is a rural king in Terre Haute, which is about 30 minutes from me and I will be there tomorrow taking my son to the doctor.

Thanks, I am somewhat new to crappie fishing. I started out bass fishing but I like fishing for crappie better.

Noticed I misspelled bait in the thread title as well! One too many beers tonight,...
