Thread: Article: Crappie Fishing 101 ~ For Newbies (Cont) ~ Reason # 10 ~ The Final Chapter.

Excellent job, my friend ! Having read #10 now, I think I'll go back and read the first 9 !! Crappie have a way of making "newbies" out of even some of us longtime pursuers, and we sometimes get in a rut on how we "want" to fish for them ... rather than how they want to be fished for
Anything that gives us anglers a "reminder" or a new idea, on how to approach various scenarios & conditions, is a worthy read.

The whole 10 part series should probably be a stickie post in the Newbie Forum, or at least a link to it. Might even be a good idea to stickie it in the Kids Korner ... either as is, or in a condensed & simplified form.

Congrats on a fine article !! I'm sure it will help our membership understand these fish better, as to the when & why of their movements & actions.

Thanks for taking the time to write this series of articles!! I am always trying to learn something I didn't know, or have possibly forgotten.

Thanks for the response and the kind words crappiepappy. I would have to agree with you that crappie fishing can be most humbling because of their endless migratory and transitioning natures. I guess that's why I was so drawn to crappie fishing many years ago when I found myself often scratching my head when faced with many finding, patterning and catching challenges that I have continuously had over the course of time.

I actually tried to write the series in such a way that it would (hopefully) be good information for (both) the newbies and the more seasoned crappie fishers alike. I'm glad you found it to be a good and informative read that you believe is worthy of keeping around as a resource material, so folks can easily find it and access it whenever they need some practical or seasonal reading.

Thanks again for your feedback and good luck to you.

Thanks for taking the time to respond Redge. Writing these articles is certainly no easy undertaking... especially a 10 part series. It truly makes it all worth the time and effort when people take the time to let me know how much they enjoyed the articles... and especially when they tell me how the articles helped them to get on the fish when they had previously been struggling with it. Good luck to you and please let me know if the information helped you in any way.

Lots and lots of good reading. When I first came to C.C. I thought I knew quite a bit about crappie fishing. It didn't take me long to realize I really didn't know much and articles like yours continues to emphasize that. Keep up the good work. I'm still trying to learn.

WOW! Im a newbie myself (2nd year) and you have just multiplied my crappie knowledge 1,000 fold.....im printing it out and putting it in tackle box! Thank you brother!

Thanks for the response and the kind words about the Crappie Fishing 101 for Newbies Series, Barnacle Bill. We all are constantly learning and the great thing about Crappie.com is... we can and should pool and share our talents, skills, tips, tactics and techniques one with the other. That idea is what has led me and kept me here. Again, support and appreciation like you have shown is what makes it all worth it to me. Good luck to you on the water.
