Let’s take a poll. What is your favorite method to catch black crappie during the winter months??
Hi Jim--I like tightlinning.
I like tight lining also! Most anytime will do for me! :biggrin
I fish anyway that will put them in the livewell be it tight linning or pulling. Mainly I let the wind dictate which method I am going to use. On my pontoon I carry all of my rods for pulling and tight linning. I have minners at my dock so I can decide what I want to do before leaving the house.
Welcome to the SC site too . :welcome
I still night fish in the winter time and jigs only for me

Looselining.
I put out 11 rods with no weight, just minnows
Let them wallow around until its its one big mess. Then go home.
Takes about 8 minutes

Same as spring, summer and fall months: casting jigs with one rod only.Quote:

I've never fished for crappie in the winter. This will be my first year trying it. So, we'll see.

Single pole tight line
Night stalkin ! Anchor up ,throw out the lights and get ready for some big ones. Use minnows on tightlines.
Have to agree. This is pretty much the way I catch slabs year round.Quote:

In the cold of the winter months tight lining is my choice but if the winter is on the warm side longlining is what I do. Of course dock shooting on sunny days is always a good choice, what was the question?? [emoji848]?

This time of year, casting jigs with 1 rod, Sometime a single rod with a minnow to see if they want a minnow instead of a jig.
In cold water I slow troll spider rig poles, some jigs tipped with minnows, some minnows only. Move along creek channels and timber at a snail's pace.
