what would be your one tip to a crappie fisherman that don't know a lot about it?
Slow down! Crappie like it slow... if your boats moving around and u cant keep tht jig still its no bueno..always imagine there is a crappie lookin at your bait and if u dont keep it still he aint gonna bite it... most bites will b wen u r easing it up real slow
What style of fishing are you gonna be doing? Spider Rigging, Single Pole Jigging, Pulling Cranks, Long Lining Jigs, etc?Quote:

Jigs and minnow is about all I fish with. either jigging pole or casting
just trying to learn more
Be patient and slow down. Stick to the basics
PawPa used to say "there ain't no fish up there" as I was all tangeled up in an overhanging limb.

the #1 thing is to have confidence !!!! #2 never give up #3 go ever time you can. #4 ask questions # go with a more experienced fisherman.#6 learn at least 1 thing ever time you go .

Thats what I would like to catch.Never tried them baits
What color of magnets do you use how do you fish them?
Go every chance you get.
Find the fish and stay on them, eventually they will bite. Some days they bite all day, some days only a few minutes.
Don't get too frustrated ! Pay no mind to the folks that claim they catch em' every time. It's not so.

Where do you fish lakes ponds rivers creeks??
My advice is get active in this site... make some friends and try to get in some of these guys boats. Plenty of folks on here to show you whats up. There is a ton of reports on lakes on here Pm the folks who make them and see if you can get them to help you further. Come to Crappie camp if you can make it.
I fish ox bow lakes of the white river des arc lake never fished conway for crappie do bream fish it.
Your best advise will come from what you learn yourself by going. Like most have said, TOW (Time On the Water) is the key. Talk to people on this site that fish the way you do. Most guys on here, including me, think they know it all anyway. You won't have any problem getting advise!!!! Lmao
Good luck, and if I can be of ANY help or answer any questions, don't hesitate to call or PM me.
One more thing, it would be good for you to buddy up with someone that fishes your area whether they are members here or not. You can learn the most from an experienced fisherman in your neck of the woods. Experience is the one thing you can't buy, and no one can give it to ya!!!!!

My one tip would be dont spend too much time in one spot. If you have electronics, use them to mark fish and/or shad. If you dont see that, dont waste your time, who cares if they were there yesterday. Also, if you do see them but cant get them to bite, move on. You can easily waste a couple hours beating a spot to death. Keep moving til you find some active fish.

You can't catch fish sitting on the couch, you have to be out there fishing. If what you are doing isn't working, do something different.
Oh and listen to the guys on here (not me though), most know what they are doing (not me though).
Maybe I'll see you on the water near Des Arc this spring.
Good luck :cheers2
The best tip I can give you for winter fishing is to watch that depth finder and learn what its telling you. And they dont have to be the latest and the greatest.
