Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets

 

If you make the decision to go crappie fishing there are so many ways to make crappie rigs that catch crappie.You will need different crappie catching rigs for the different seasons of the and for different fishing situations. We have developed a list of crappie catching rigs that have worked for us in the past and they are shown below.Our tips include many excellent rigging tips using artificial crappie jigs, and crappie minnows which are called “Missouri minnows” in many parts of the country.

TIP#1 Use a “spin cast” reel fishing with a light weight graphite rod with 6-12# test line. (this is a bit more then most guys use.. but it works.

Tip#2 Purchase some “Cajun Red 6 -12lb test line for your crappie fishing rig.(you can use higher test ratings with this line because red is almost invisible to crappie in the water.)

TIP#3 Get some “Missouri minnows”, or the smallest minnows you can at the bait shop. You probably won’t catch as many crappie but if you have the wife and kids along it makes for a wonderful family outing.

Tip#4 Use weights up to 1/4ounce.

TIP#5 Use crappie fishing jigs.

Tip#5a Use tube jigs: green, yellow, and white

Tip#5b Use the smallest artificial minnow jigs you can find, with black tops and silver belly. The tale should move and get a lot of action in the water.

Tip#5c Hair wrapped jig are hard to fine, but if you find one make sure you purchase it. They work great on your crappie fishing rig.

Tip#5d Use jigs with a black body and yellow tail with a yellow head and black eyes.

Tip#6 The colder the water gets the smaller the line test you should use. Also water can see better in colder water so use 4lb test line in colder water temperatures.

Tip#7 Find yourself slip bobbers that have a small “stick” to set your depth.The bobbers or “corks” are made from Styrofoam and every bait store sells them. Run the line from your crappie catching rig through the hole in the bobber until you get to the selected depth you want. You can also use spring loaded boobers where the line slides through the spring , then you lock it in place at your selected depth.

Tip#8 Instead of using just one jig or hook on a line tie in 2 or three jigs about 10inches apart. You can place a weight below the jigs, but if that doesn’t work put the weight above the jigs.

We sincerely hope these crappie fishing tips will help you on your next fishing trip! have a wonderful day!
