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 - When you get out on the water do not just start catching crappie. Chances are what ever you are doing to catch fish will work at other locations too. It is very important that you map out a set pattern that you fish for the day at all the different fishing locations you go to throughout the day. To determine what pattern will work best you need to identify details like: Did you get your crappie hits when your crappie bait was floating downward? At what depth did the crappie strikes occur? Were the hits on the windward side of the structure you were fishing? These are just a few of the details you need to document and take a metal note of. As you get more experienced this list will grow.
#2 Guideline - It is very important to be very quiet when you are targeting any species of fish and that includes the sport of crappie fishing. I can guarantee that any slab crappie will scatter if you make any noises such as moving around in the boat, dropping things to the bottom of the boat talking loudly ext. The older the fish gets the more smart and cunning they become. Large crappies will move when when the sense any different from their natural habitat. Sound carries in water just as it does in the air. This is one of the easiest crappie fishing rules to adhere too. But you would be surprised how many rookie fisherman overlook this simple tip.
#3 Guideline - How many times have you been out crappie fishing and you get hungry and reach down and pull out a handful of chips or eat a sandwich, then you go right back to handling your crappie baits? Well crappie can smell the things that you just ate and the different smell may be just enough to cause them not to bite or move off. make sure on your next fishing trip that you wipe your hands after eating, and then soak your hands in some commercial crappie scent. You will be surprised how much this tip may increase your crappie catch.
