All the different names Crappie are called

A few I can think of now
Speckled perch
Sacalait****
Specks

Surely a lot more regional names are out there

Well you have heard of Slab Crappie…..I call them Slob Croppie.

Pretty much Crappie and Croppy in my area. Mostly Crappie.

Old timers where I grew up called them Paper mouths

Calico bass is another one I have heard

Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, speckled bass or specks (especially in Michigan), speckled perch, white perch, crappie bass, calico bass (throughout the Middle Atlantic states and New England), and Oswego bass.

My Grandpa used to call them "Newlights" every now and then & had me :scratchhead until I realized he was talking about Crappie & not some other fish I'd never heard of before. :Doh:

Aggravating when they take lockjaw and won't bite.:Rofl

Whenever anyone said lets go fishin we automatically grabbed our crappie gear. So their name must be FISH.
