who to avoid crappie,
use heavier line, 6 pound and up
Crappie will hit rapallas, so with those you will have to take the good with the bad. or go to another lure like curly tail soft plastics, no garentee they wont hit on them, just you will get a lot few hits from crappie. The up side of useing repallas is that if a crappie dose hit you will be looking at a respectable sized fish. The biggest crappie I ever caught was on a repalla and it was 17 inches long, "The crappie not the repalla"[:p]
Flat fish jitter bugs and spoons have yet to produce crappie for me, but do bring in the bass and pike.
Crappie swim in schools, so where you catch one, others are not far behind, get up and move, or set your presentation higher or near the bottom. Dont move to far cuz where you find crappie, LMB's and SMB's gills pike and perch are not far away.
Using single double and three hook crawler harneses will reduce the intake of crappie and will increase the production of bass.
Bigger the bait bigger the fish rule.. well this is true when trying to avoid crappie, larger spoons flat fish and plugs will get you in to the big mouth fish like those in the black bass family and pike family.
all this being said, [#0000ff][size 5]we know that you will be looking for trout, gills, bass and pike. but mostly Large Mouth Bass..[/size][/#0000ff] so in the posts to follow we will start posting products that will get you in to your targeted range of fish that are available in your area.
