Crappie bite??
Only one kid and a woman that loves fish! And she rather me fish than do some of the things i used to do in my 20s so i guess being a bit of a crazy partier payed of to me being allowed to fish a lot 😉. I got used to cutting up a ton of fish every year. We do big walleye frys a couple times a year. But i got a crappie technique that i can fly through them so it doesn't take any time really. Once i get to the rib i make one slice to the skin over the rib and just pull the whole side off its crazy how easy crappie skin separates at the belly its like opening a zipper.
Soooo its been really quiet on the crappie front. Whats the deal? Am i the only one still after them or the only one still pulling them? Probably going to hit it tomorrow night to see if i still got it
Not a crappie guy so much but got 10 on Monday along with some nice gills. My fishing bud cleans the crappie same way, rips the meat from the ribs
Ive found that its not that they leave its they just shut off for a couple hrs. I think its a adjustment period or just a typical lul. Every fish has shutdown periods. I don't stick it out like i use to but ive found an hr after dark the bite comes in waves generally ill have 30min of action and maybe an hr slow that pretty much alternates all night. At least in my night spots that is
Lol I cheated my way through Spanish class. Only reason I know en fuego is because they said it on sportscenter a long time ago when a dude made like 10 shots in a row in a basketball game
Welp sounds like erie isn't happening this evening so going back after the crappie later. Bought $100 worth of new crappie plugs to lose on sunken trees 🤣 maybe $30 in ill get a pig
You would think that the flicker minnow would be working like gangbusters but I have not had any luck with the flicker minnows it's been all jointed and rebel deep cranks that's why I got these Bandit 300 they're pretty much exactly the same figured I'd give them a shot
I'd personally swap out the trolling rods for a jig n tail... Gotta feel that thump! But if I had to choose from that pile it'd be that yellow one top middle
I'm sticking to trolling to cover more water in a short period and there is a chance of a hungry toothy critter that wants to attack
I've heard that called "pushing" cranks when you use a big heavy weight on a drop line and cranks on a short leader above the weight. Your lines are almost vertical straight below the boat. You can get really precise where you put the cranks then. Like spider rigging.... but with cranks. Never tried it myself.
I trolled Alum yesterday and the new solid chrome jointed flicker shad caught more than all others combined. The water in the north end was pretty stained and the sun was out. Even caught a couple eyes on it. Usually the blue/chrome is my best crappie color in flicker shads.
I got into a few yesterday at Berlin fishing 8 feet under a bobber. A mix of whites and blacks. It was a good day until some dumbazz ran over my lines with his boat acting like it was his lake!
Got into quite a few crappie and giant redears tonight at West Branch. I was surprised to catch so many crappie up shallow. Everything was in 4 feet of water or less. Got a couple on small crankbaits but the rest were on gulp minnows and Bobbie Garlands.
