Crappie Fishing Report

[shockley32]

The crappie bite if fair to good on Pomme De Terre. They are in the funky of mode of going in and out of a feeding frenzy. They tend to be scattered on standing timber. The key to collecting enough for a nice dinner is staying on the move. One of this tree and one on that. It is tough to catch multiple fish on any tree. There are also several shorts to be found. They are fun to catch and provide encouragement for the future but they just don't do much in a tournament.

Fish standing timber from 5' to 20' of water. They were anywhere between two feet to twelve feet deep. Black and chart slab busters were better than anything else however any color with chart worked. Minnows were ok but jigs seemed to work a little better. Tried a few brushpiles, they were loaded with fish however couldn't get any quality pulled out of them.

During Saturday's tournament there were several fish brought in, most were very consistent. It took 7 fish averaging a pound each to win. I guess the wicked witched cast a spell on me for tournament day. Just doesn't seem to matter if it is crappie or bass they are great all week before and then not the right size on the day of! They are always a blast to fish!!!!

Good luck and keep fishing!

Let us know how you do. I know with the Northeast wind today it was probably tough.

You are right it was really tough. I caught 2 or 3 on brushpile's. They were all short. Still had a good time. Thanks for the compliment on my baits. I appreciate that.
