Fall Crappie Fishing - Untapped !

A lot of people do not realize that fall crappie fishing is the best time of the year to catch them. They are being sucked into the deep basins.

This is a bite that you do not want to miss out on if you have been for years. You will need some electronics to search the basin to find them the first time before you start fishing for them. Once you find them with your electronics I guarantee you will get bit big time. Remember the key to success at this time of year is your electronics wherever you are.

In a small lake, they bunch up in the deep basins. It is as simple as that. In a large lake they concentrate in bays off the main lake basins in twenty five to forty foot depths of water. You must use electronics in this deep water to find where the crappies are at. Without the use of your electronics you are fishing blindly and you will only run into them by chance and that could take all day. Where with a depth finder you can locate them quickly and you start catching crappies very quickly.

I like hair and tube jigs for this time of year and berkley nymphs and wigglers can work wonders when the other baits cool off. To fish for them once you have found them you have to sit directly above them with your trolling motor keeping you in place. These fish are suspended so all you need to do is raise your rod tip to the crappies level. Fall crappie fishing is by far one of the best times of the year to catch a load of crappies.
