Bait Fishing: A85 Amazing Fishing Information On Crappie Baits Click Here!

The crappie which also goes by aliases such as calico bass, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappies, strawberry bass, and paper mouth has exceptionally good vision. Crappies have developed ways to see small objects like zooplankton close up that other species of fish do not have. Understanding the white perch vision is key to developing key crappie fishing techniques to go bait fishing and catch crappie. This fact alone almost guarantees the paper mouth survival since zooplankton represents the smallest animal prey and they are abundant in all the speckled bass habitat locations throughout the United States and Canada.

strawberry bass have multiple cones in their eyes which are commonly referred to as light receptors. At a causal glance this fact may mean nothing to you but when you dig deeper you will see why this is very important to understand if you intend to catch crappie. The light receptors or cones allow the speckled bass to distinguish between different colors. You can use this information to your advantage when you select crappie baits to go bait fishing for crappie. Unfortunately there are not a lot of specific scientific studies that identify what colors they can see better then others so trial and error are still needed to select your crappie baits in the crappie fishing process if you want to catch any crappie.

pole crappies have very good black and white vision and they are known to be very active night feeders because they can see their prey very good at night. If you want to catch some large speckled bass then by all means set up a night fishing for crappie trip. The eyes of the calico bass are bigger in proportion to it's body size then most species of fish. These large eyes can gather more available light in limited light periods that their prey such as crappie minnows, small shad,small crayfish, and bluegill fry. As a result, the white perch have a distinct advantage over their prey in the day or at night. Many trophy slab papermouth have been caught while bait fishing for pole crappies Also, If you go crappie fishing in waters that are very clear crappies are especially active in this type of crappie habitat. If you schedule a fishing trip to clear calico bass to clear water habitat you bait fishing for crappie efforts will be rewarded with a basket full of a good crappie catch.

The crappie has more aliases then you can shake a stick at. They are commonly called calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappie, strawberry bass, and papermouths. The name paper mouth is very fitting for the crappie. This nick name is very fitting of a crappie that is caught while bait fishing because there mouths are paper thin and the hook can pull out very easy so you need to be very careful to not over do it when you set the hook. This fact alone makes it very difficult to land a large speckled perch.

Both White and black crappie pole crappie look very similar but there are a few different identification marks. Both white crappie and black crappie have dark – olive or golden or brownish backs. The white strawberry bass look much lighter then the black crappie when caught while bait fishing. During the spawn it is hard to tell male white and black crappie apart because the male whit crappie will darken like the black crappie during the spawning period.

One easy way to tell the white speckled bass from the black crappie is by counting the number of spines located at the dorsal fin. White  crappie will have 5 to 7 spines, while  the black crappie will have 7 to 8 spines. The white papermouth will have a have a shorter distance between the dorsal fin first spine to a point between the eyes, then the black speckled bass. The white strawberry bass takes a more "s" or
hump shape then the black calico bass where the back rises from the head. The black papermouth has a more round shape.

Both white calico bass and black pole crappie, are built for speed and maneuverability. They move in cover very easily because of their thin bodies. In cover you catch crappies while bait fishing fairly easy if you use the right crappie baits. The white crappie and the black crappie are not the only speices of crappie. For years white and black speckled bass have been cross breeding to make a very stable hybrid crappie population. Also many hybrids have been raised in captivity for stocking. They have
been stocked in new habitat locations throughout the Untied States to create new papermouth habitat areas.

Well that concludes my article about white perch. We wish you the best of luck on your next fishing trip!

Bait Fishing : Report On Age of Crappies And How To Catch A Crappie Visit Our Website For Details!

Crappie are a very fast growing species of fish and they go by many aliases such as calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappies, strawberry bass, and paper mouth. To determine the age of a calico bass You catch while you are bait fishing is not an exact science but there is a way to calculate your speckled perch caught with a variety of different crappie baits. Age and growth rates for crappie caught while bait fishing can be attributed too two factors which are the environment and genetics.

In our article today we are going to discuss the method of determining the age of pole crappies. The next time you catch a crappie while bait fishing take a look at it's scales. You can determine the age of any crappie you catch if you learn to read it's scales. The theory behind reading scales to determine age is based upon assuming that the scales grow proportionately to a fishes length, and this relationship nearly always holds true.

During the slow or no growth periods such as in the cold water winter months the rings or what is called the circuli will be narrowly spaced. Fast growth periods will generate a widely spaced circuli. Year marks called annuli show clearly if you use a magnifying glass for inspection. To take a measurement, you want to measure from the center of the scale called the focus which is horizontally located at the bottom of the scale. The focus point looks like a circle and is your starting point for your measurement. You measure from the outer circumference of the focus and start counting the annuli until you come to the furthest most outer. Annuli. Count each annuli as 1 year.

There are some strawberry bass that scale counting is not accurate. For example in warm climates such as Florida counting scales will not work because of the accelerated growth rate. In warm climates it is better to read the otoliths bone. This is a extremely accurate way to determine the age of a pole crappies but is much more difficult because the bone must be dissected to determine the age. You may need to use the otoliths bone also when there is a extremely slow growth rate.

I have had a great time writing this article we hope you enjoyed our information about bait fishing. We wish you the best of luck on your next fishing trip!
