Crappie Fishing Techniques

One of the most popular fish to go out and catch, or should I say attempt to catch, is the crappie. People from all over the country fish for these little beauties, mostly because they provide such great table fare. Of all the fish swimming is freshwater, crappie are in the running for the best tasting. Their light flaky meat is much like the flesh of a walleye, only a bit "sweeter". There are many techniques that can be used to catch crappie, but two of the most popular have to be live minnows and/or small jigs. I'll give a brief synopsis of both in this article to give you an overview.

Live Minnows - The most popular way to catch Crappie is probably through the use of live minnows. Most anglers use a size 4 or 6 hook, hook it through the minnows back, place this live minnow under a bobber and fish for Crappie. Although this technique works, there are better ways to present you live minnow to the fish. The easiest way is through the use of gang hooks. Gang hooks are simply 2 small hooks tied in tandem. So, in the case of Crappie, the angler should first tie a small barrel swivel onto their line. Then tie a #8 or #10 set of gang hooks onto the other end of the barrel swivel. Now, take a live minnow and hook it through the lips of the top hook (I always leave the second hook "floating free", but hooking the second hook into the minnows' back works as well). Now place your bobber onto you line and your good to go. Hooking the minnow through the lips does little or no damage, and the minnow lives for a very long time, which is good because live minnows can be a bit pricey. The longer you can keep your bait "alive", the better. The gang hook technique is very effective for catching crappie.

Small Jigs - Small jigs are also a very popular technique for catching Crappie. The twister tail that you place on the jig is the important part. There are no hard and fast rules as far as color is concerned, so experimentation is the key. One thing that I have found is that Berkley's "Power" version of twister tails work quite well. In some cases these "power tails" will even out fish live minnows. Again, as far as what color to use, experimentation is the key. Another very effective technique when it comes to jigging for Crappie is to tip your jig with a live minnow. Simply hook a minnow through the lips onto the hook of your jig, and your jip is "tipped".

The two techniques mentioned in this article are the most popular and most effective way to catch Crappie. Are there other ways to catch these delectable fish? Of course, but these two are the most effective. I recently saw a "crappie rig" in the local tackle shop, and thought I should mention it. It was a contraption with like 3 large hooks coming off of it, with a sort of wire that kept the three hooks from getting tangled. It looks somewhat like a "tree", for lack of a better way to describe it. I was flabbergasted by this thing, and quite frankly a bit scared. Please, I beg of you, never buy or use a contraption such the kind I'm attempting to describe. Remember what Steven Wright said of fishermen, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot." Using rigs like the "crappie rig" make us look like idiots!

Everything About How To Lay Your Hands On The Ultimate Fishing Equipment

Do you consider yourself a great fisherman? There are people for which fishing is a way of life. In the past I worked with a guy who just loved fishing more than anything else in life. He dreamed in fact of his very own shop in which he would sell baits and tackles. Nevertheless this dream was never going to become reality in his opinion due to the huge competition. Some of his feared enemies were Wal-Mart. He always emphasized the fact that it was extremely hard for him to keep up with the big boys. I asked myself a question: "Why would anyone pay more for fishing equipment when they can just head to Wal-Mart and get it for pennies?" Thats the well knows Wal-Mart policy. You can buy everything from China and thus put our own workers out of jobs. So Wal was not such a good guy after all. Leaving all this behind I would like to stress the fact that one aspect of enjoying your annual fishing adventure is quality fishing equipment. Everything centers around a professional fishing equipment in order to fully enjoy your fishing trip. You want a pole that puts the old Huck Finn rod to shame. You should get ready for your next fishing expedition! Are you?

There would be another very important question namely where you would shop for quality fishing equipment. I am absolutely positive that some people would head directly to one of those outdoor outlets like R.E.I. or Pro Bass. However you must not misunderstand what I want to say. It was not my intention to diminish the product quality of these stores. I only want to stress the fact that these stores are not the only ones on the market that offer great products. Have you ever give it a thought to check in the World-Wide-Web when searching high and low for quality fishing equipment? If you say no, then you definitely should also consider this option. On the internet you can find everything you are looking for. If only this happened as I was a kid. We used to go fishing with dad all the time. We lived right in the proximity of the Mississippi, so it was rather convenient. In all honesty I had nothing to do with fishing. I used to hate the mosquitoes and also the heat. I consider myself more a winter person. That must be the reason for which I used to like ice fishing so much more. In the case of ice fishing there were no nasty mosquito bites, no blistering hot sun and scorched skin. So this was the way to get it done.

It is very important that I know what you are searching for this very minute. It is quality and reliable fishing equipment that you are after. Only a rookie fisher would actually think its all the same thing. Its in fact never all the same. Everybody must get what one paid for in life. Is a BMW the same as a Mercedes? I dont really think so! So, my advice would be to kick back and relax on your sofa with your laptop next to you. Just use the well known Google search engine and simply start browsing for the best fishing equipment in the whole wide world.

All in all you must know that you have absolutely everything at your very fingers ... so you are in charge. Isnt it absolutely great to have a technology like this?
