Netting Crappie
Dateline 07/19/99
Crappie fishermen took a note from the bass folks and organized a tournament group. From this, new methods and equipment, from rods to specialized jigs, have been developed. You can get lake reports specifically for crappie on the net and order jigs online. Crappie fishing has reached the same levels as bass, in many ways!
A variety of techniques, from trolling to finding them in overlooked lakes, is available. Articles on spring crappie as well as shallow water techniques will help you catch more. Special pages share three successful catching methods and three rigs to use.
Kids events are being held to introduce the sport to youngsters. Get involved in them and help insure the future of fishing!
Although fishing is slow now, during the hot summer, you can go at night to beat the heat. Don't wait for winter to go, but you can dream about the cold weather while you sweat and catch them!
