Thread: New to Crappie Fishing

Welcome from N/W PA. AND ... don't believe the myth about fishing deeper water this time of year.:rolleyes: I took 20 keepers out of 40 fish caught today, fishing in shallow water. (7ft) You just have to fish real close to the wood thats in the water. Find a few blowdown trees laying in the water and fish small baits, close to the trunk. I use jigs because minnows will swim into the branches and get you hung up. Put the jig 3 to 4 feet below a small bobber and fish it back to you. If that bobber does anything un-natural, like twitch or raise up higher, set the hook.:D

Welcome from Vermont!!!!!!! Check your local baitstores and see if they'll recommend any places that you can (HINT HINT) take your kids!!! All adults usually give up some places when it's for kids to learn fishing.

Ask questions here and you'll get answers or links to other places.
