Whether you call it crappie, speckled perch, speck, or sac-a-laits, this elusive fish is hard to spot and a lot of fun to catch.Take time to understand their habits, find the right bait, and be patient when you are on the water.Follow these instructions to catch the mysterious crappie.
-
Search lakes, rivers and streams with clean water. Crappie are freshwater fish and are found abundantly in wilderness areas and in ponds and lakes.They are native to North America, but today can be found in many areas around the world.Black crappie and white crappie are virtually indistinguishable so much so that many anglers don't notice the difference.
-
Find crappie near submerged bushes and trees. Crappie love to spend time hidden:vegetation, treetops and logs that have fallen into the water, and piles of other debris are good places to look for them.
- You can also build some kind of crappie shelter to attract them to a particular area.Bring a few branches to a part of the lake where there are no shelters and let them fall to the bottom.Keep note of the exact point:chances are, when you visit again, the crappie will be around.
- Crappie sometimes spend time in the water between branches instead of near them.Some larger fish may fit into the crevices of a fallen branch.The best fishermen manage to fish in those spots.
-
Fishing near piers and piers. When there are no natural shelters in the water, crappie tend to congregate around these artificial structures.It's a good place to look if you're fishing from a dock instead of a boat.
-
Use a fish finder to find hidden openings on the bottom. Crappie spend time in areas of deep water where there is cover, such as submerged brush or sunken trees.Finding spots where others rarely fish is one way to find bigger fish.[1]Advertising
-
Use a rod or rod and reel. The plain old rod is used by most crappie anglers and is quite effective.You can use an economical one made of bamboo or fiber or graphite.Lightweight ones are usually best, but if you prefer to use a rod and reel, that's fine too
-
Buy a collection of jigs. Jigs are the most popular lures when fishing for crappie.But don't rely on just one:crappie is a demanding fish, so you will need several jigs to choose from each time you go fishing.They come in different weights, shapes and sizes.Crappie generally prefer smaller ones.[2]
- Jigs are covered with a soft layer made of various types of materials and are made in various shapes and colors.
- Some are made to resemble particular baits.
-
Use bloodsucker as bait. If you don't want to use synthetic bait, use a bloodbait.Crappie are attracted to these fish.[3]Advertising
-
Bottom fishing during the winter. When temperatures drop, crappie tend to stay in deeper water.Since many anglers store their gear in cold weather, fishing during the winter can be a great time to catch bigger crappie.Be patient and spend time in areas where the water is deeper.
- When it is cold and windy, do not stay on the shore or in sheltered areas.You'll be better off in places like that, but you'll have a better chance of catching fish if you venture into deeper waters.[4]
- Crappie are more lethargic during the winter and are slower to bite, so you'll have to spend more time outside waiting to catch one.
-
In spring move to shallow water. In the spring, when crappie spawn, they are easier to catch in shallow water.Fish near bushes and wooden structures near the shore.[5]
-
Fishing in clean waters. If the water is muddy it may be difficult for crappie to see the bait.These fish find food by sight, not smell, so they may never bite the bait if the water is cloudy.Find a place where it is clean and use large, light-colored bait.[8]
-
Ask other anglers what they use. Crappie from different areas have different habits.They may be attracted to a particular color, or they may bite on a certain type of bait that you don't use.Before you leave with the boat stop at a fishing shop and ask what is working that particular day.Chances are it will work for you too.

Advice
- Use a loop knot when using a jig.
- Use light-colored artificial baits and jigs, depending on the level of visibility in the water (whether the water is clear, whether it is sunny, etc.).
- Crappie are good to eat, but be sure to check the regulations in place for fishing in public areas.
- Try using a 2'' Rapala sinker.Mack's Wedding Rings also work well if you put a worm in them
