Thread: Shenango crappie

I’ve noticed quite a few good fishermen are having a tougher time getting keepers this season. Mostly because they’re fishing the heck out of one spot they’ve caught fish at for years. Take a closer look at your electronics and you’ll see this last winter drawdown has decimated the cover that was previously there. Even blowdowns that were hot spots for me for ten years are gone. Sitting up on the shore parallel to the shoreline. Not sure how it happened but it did. I fished multiple spots yesterday morning and put a limit of 20 nice crappies in the box. Hang gliding from spot to spot is working for me. Stay on the drop offs. Watch your locator. Fish will be eight to ten foot deep. These are the ones feeding. The earlier you get out, the better the bite. Ninety percent were caught on baby Shad’s and the rest were on twistertails. Keep speed under .5 for results. That’s the best info I can give you. Maybe longlining might work but that’s not a technique I use.
