That’s crazy! by Brad

“Crappie can feel the boat,” Nichols went on, “They know you are there! It’s like a game of cat and mouse to get the lure in front of the fish without scaring them. I can tell you these crappie are educated on lures and boats.”


“When dead sticking I will get my lure ready to drop, but not so close to spook them,” Nichols continued, “Then I will bump the trolling motor allowing the lure to drop down to them while gliding over to them looking at it controlling the speed with the trolling motor. I almost always come towards them with the lure facing the fish not the tail.”

I use very long jig poles for a reason, they help me hammer the Crappie. Nubies this is GOLD information.
