I Have Been Told Crappie Will Not Hold On A Green Cedar Tree. It Takes A Couple Years To Start Holding Fish. Please Reply
I have put em out in Jan and caught crappie in April........
My intent was to fish em in post spawn so I dont know if crappie were around em sooner or not...........
I,ve caught fish in a month after dropping green cedar,s in.
dropped green ceders in june and caught fish the next weekend. Kept on catchin for about a month then there was a 3 or 4 week lull while the needles fell off then started catchin agian.
I have dropped them in a pond and caught fish the next day. I have done the same thing in a lake too. if there is little structure they will be on the new trees in a matter hours or until they fin past and locate it. I would suggest to anyone that they drop the trees and start fishing them ASAP. The fish will be there
dropped them in the lake moved dropped 4 more came back 3 hours later fished the first cedar and caught some fish already on it
if you take propane torch and burn off the needles first you won't have the wait as some xmas tree are coated with a fire retarded now don't burn up the whole tree.
I always trim off all the green as well as the smaller limbs,i just leave the bigger limbs about 2' on each side it makes em a bunch easier to fish......i've caught fish within 2 weeks on trees like i described.
you were told wrongQuote:
