You will want to follow these simple steps to increase consistency whenever you go crappie fishing.Once you learn what you need to do in different water conditions you may never go back to using live bait again. Please refer to the guidelines below these are some of the oldest crappie fishing secrets and have been handed down from father to son for years.
Guideline#1 Water clarity determines what kind of crappie fishing jig you want to use.
#1.a Look into the body of water you are fishing and if you can 3-4 feet below the surface, the water is considered clear and you will want to use dark colored crappie jigs. In essence, the fish can see “too well” and you want them to focus on the movement of your crappie jig to stimulate them to bite.
#1.b if the water color is darker and you can’t see 3-4 feet below the surface use a lighter colored lure so the the crappie can see it. make sure you ad this tip to your artificial crappie baits usage list.
#1.c Real dark and murky water means use some “flash” to make your crappie jig look like a minnow. Tie a 1/2 inch to 1 inch blade above the crappie fishing jig.
Guideline#2 I recommend you use a slip bobber, you can a good one to use is called “Mr crappie and you can purchase them at bass pro shop on-line.The slip bobber is unique because it will not come out of the water when you are jigging for crappie. this is a little used crappie fishing secret form the past.
Guideline#3 Use a “split shot” above the slip bobber to control the depth of the crappie jig. Try to work the 4-8 foot range by readjusting the “spit shot” so that the crappie fishing jig is at different depths. Do this until you find the depth that hits.
Guideline#4 “Pop” or jerk your slip bobber so it makes a 3 to 4 inch movement through the water, make sure you do this gently.
Guideline#5 If you do not get any bites , adjust the depth. The colder it gets, the deeper you will need to go. The warmer it is, the closer the fish will be to the surface. this is a little used crappie fishing secret.
Well, I hope the guidelines help you improve your crappie jigging success in the future, good luck and good day!
