Crappie fishing Tips
The wind really blew here Saturday making fishing very difficult. So we waited till Sunday and decided to do some crappie and gill fishing. Along with the wind on Saturday it was very hot here. A cold front moved into the area on Sunday. The cooler weather-especially the 1st day usually slows the fishing down but we decided to go anyway. We did not catch a lot -but did wind up with some very nice fish. Enough for a good meal.. We started out using crawlers and flies on the gills then changed to ¼ oz pink and white jigs toward evening for crappies. All in all it was a nice fishing trip.Just a few quick tips for crappie fishing.Use as light of line as possible-preferably 4 or 6 lb testThe fishing jig colors that seem to work best for me are pink and white, black on black and black and white.
If you are fishing from shore use a weighted bobber with a 1/32 or 1/16 oz jig. This will help increase your casting distance. The bobber will also help keep the jig out of the weed beds and bottom snags.
Pause your line frequently. Many times this is when the crappies will strike.
Finally- don’t quit fishing to early. Crappies are mainly evening and night feeders. Many times they will start hitting real heavy just before dark.

I have always had great luck with either pink or pink & green minnows when fishing for Crappie. I don’t know what it is about those colors but they almost always go for them.
How long was it before you took your first crappie? Hopefully not too long. I know people that struggle for hours to take a crappie. It’s always wise to bring some reading material in those cases. Anyway, it sounds like you had a nice time! Thanks for the post.
I didn’t take us to long once we started fishing for them. We go early and fish for gills then switch to fishing Crappie in the evening.
A friend of mine turned me on to crappie fishing this summer. We found an awesome spot under the bridge on Lake Bob Sandlin, about 2 hours east of Dallas, TX.
We used live minnows and red on white jigs.
Can’t wait to get back on the water.
