Now I know where the crappie are, but the trick is to catch them. We are fishing a river, only about 50 feet wide, but very deep (20 feet in the channel) with steep banks. There are dozens of fallen trees, perfect cover for the crapppie. Everything we learned about fishing for them in the lake is no longer valid. Basically, you have to anchor the boat at the end of a fallen tree, and use a long rod to drop bait in between the branches. (Lots of lost jigs).
I am looking for opinions on favorite shape, size and color of the jigs, along with favorite baits. Live bait (we use fatheads) or plastics? Tubes or panfish assasins? Any and all comments are welcome!
Caught about 10 crappie today, some pounders, and I am happy, but I WANT TO CATCH MY LIMIT!
