Advice on Process of Finding Crappie
I am not new to fishing, but fairly new to crappie fishing. I have fished and caught them during the spawn and through the ice fairly consistently. Prespawn and postspawn fish are giving me trouble. I just want to know what thought processes go through some of you more experienced fisherman when trying to find fish?
- Is there a technique you use more than others?
- Do you start at a certain depth and work shallow or deep?
- How long do you stay at one spot before you move on?
- Are you more worried about structure or depth?
- Do you stick with seasonal patterns or try everything?
I know it is a loaded question but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
