Hello Crappie.com! I am having a banner year catching crappies. This cold weather has really turned on the big Crappie. I had been down for a while with another hip replacement but this down time has helped me to read everything I could get my hands on about crappie fishing. I fished in a boat with Garmin Live Scope and we targeted only the largest crappies we could locate. What a tool. I am saving up to put this Garmin product on my boat. I also discovered that scent holding bodies outperformed all other crappie lures that I have been trolling. I purchased scent from Bass Pro Shops and also have been using Slab Sauce available from the Crappie.com store. Adding scent to my baits has made this year my best ever. I have caught some monsters in the Saint Johns River. For years I fished an area of the Saint Johns for Large Mouth Bass but never tried fishing for Crappie there. I caught a monster Crappie on a deep diving crankbait while fishing for Bass. Crank Bait fishing for Crappie has been a blast. Don't let the cold weather keep your boat in the garage.
