Welcome to the wonderful world of crappie fishing! You would not be reading this article if you were not interested in becoming a better crappie fisherman. Well just like in any other sport patience and practice are very important to be successful. It is very important for you to establish a good set of guidelines and rules to practice by every time you go fishing. Repetition is a virtue in the sport of crappie fishing. Today I would like to introduce you to 3 key crappie catching guidelines that will improve your crappie fishing and help you increase your crappie catch. #1 Guideline It is very important to develop a fishing pattern quickly after you get on the water. You cannot be satisfied with just catching crappie. You need to identify in detail what made the crappie strike. You then need to duplicate these same techniques when you change locations because chance are the crappie will hit the same at any of the locations you go too. You need to document and take a mental note of all the details.
You need to identify such things as: Was the fish hitting when my crappie baits floated downward? What kind of structure were fishing?
Were the crappie hits on the windward side of the structure? You get the picture, details are very important to formulate a pattern to fish for the day. #2 Guideline Have you ever bin on the water getting ready to drop your crappie baits and start crappie fishing some structure and trip over something, or drop something in the boat that id noisy? Guess what if there were any large slab crappie in the area you just scared them off. It is very important that you are quiet when you are on the water. Savvy crappie will almost always move out of the area if the hear, or see anything that looks un-natural too them. If you learn this simple rule you will be surprised how your crappie catch will increase. You will probably will start picking up a few large slab crappie too. #3 Guideline The crappie species has a very keen sense of smell so you need to take advantage of it. Get yourself some commercial crappie scent and rub you're your hands and your artificial crappie baits with it. I don't scent my live crappie baits because they all ready have a natural scent that the crappie are used too. But even when I fish for crappie with live bait I rub my hands with commercial crappie scent. Make sure you purchase some commercial crappie scent. You can purchase it at most department stores or bait shops as well as online at Bass pro shop or Cabellas. Using Scenting may make the difference, and increase your crappie catch.
