So to go crappie fishing ive always used either a wrom on a hook or a minow on a hook. (With a bobber) What is another good thing to catch some crappie?
jigging for them with 4 pound test micro filiment
use 1/32 -1/16 ounce jigs, you can make an offering out of meal or wax worms, spikes, mousies, and artifficial baits like crappie candies and small bodied soft plastics.
the jigs I use are the tear drop veriety.
ya, I catch lots of gills in the process, but hey, I catch gills on worm and minnow as well…
I have caught them trolling with small repallas.
Jigs are a always a good bet. Especially white. Both plastic and the forgotten marabou jig work very well.
gulp live fish fry and 1.5 minnows in chartruese has done the trick for me…
There are times when crappie will take the smaller jigs and I like the kiptail jigs at this time.
The smallest jigs that have worked for me was 1/124th oz. Caught 10 decent ones on that tiny thing. It was tied with Chartruse sparkle chinelle and mariboo tail .
The picture is of a storage box of hair jigs I tied while sitting with a broke ankle.
Merry Christmas all,
