Crappie

Crappie

Crappies are a popular panfish, known for their schooling behavior and willingness to bite.

Lures

  • Small jigs (1/16 to 1/8 oz) with soft plastic tails.
  • Beetle Spins.
  • Small crankbaits.

  • Small minnows.
  • Wax worms.

Techniques

  • Jigging: Using small jigs around submerged structure is a classic crappie technique.
  • Slip Bobber: A slip bobber with a small minnow is a deadly combination.
  • Casting: Casting small spinners or crankbaits can be effective when crappies are active.
