Learning to fish for Crappie

[dchoate]

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Your right, I just need to spend time figuring them out but this advise will help a bunch!

Too much movement in cold water is a problem for many crappie anglers. The guys I'm working with hear me preach presentation constantly. Keep your line straight down, your rod tip right on top of the water so you know it's not moving. This can be a big challenge in wind & add tide to the equation, a terrible problem. This time of year the "bite" is almost felt within, your sub-conscience knows it before you do, after my years "catching" my mind sets the hook before my attention registers the bite. You're so focused, to me, it's like "Using the Force" like in the Star Wars movies. It has taken time, and the ability to control your jig, keeping it still, while remaining totally focused on the interpretations of your senses inputs. I hope this makes some kind of sense to you.

Wow, that’s gonna take a lot of experience for sure. Thanks for the tip. Have a great Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for all the knowledge on this site and for sharing. I hope to become a better Crappie fisherman. I’m looking forward to the spawn!!!

i am waiting for him to invite me as i type
bet we can narrow that learning curve pretty fast
like stated sometimes its a Jedi type of thing and the force is strong and you set the hook just because

I’d like to fish with a experienced jig fisherman but there’s not a Crappie guide on Lake Arrowhead. The ones I’ve talked to at the fish cleaning station are pretty closed lip. I guess they think I will catch their fish��

Put your cursor on his username. Click on the username and a drop down box will open. Select private message and there you go.

It also helps to follow the flow of your post, if when you respond to someone, if you'll click "reply with quote" instead of just clicking "reply" That's what I did in this post, so it puts my response directly with your question, in the same window.
