A Beginners Guide to Locating Crappie

Are you considering fishing for crappie for the first time? Maybe you've never fished this type of fish before or you're taking someone new, such as child, fishing with you. Whatever the reason, this is a great beginner's guide for locating crappie that will help you bring in great catches.

Crappie are some great fish to catch, especially for people new to fishing but the first and most difficult challenge is to find them. Once you know where the crappie are, you can set out to catch them.

No techniques or tactics in the world are going to matter much if you aren't fishing in the right spot to begin with. So how can you learn to spot the crappie in a body of water so you can get to fishing?

One way to spot crappie is with sophisticated and often high-tech fishing equipment. You can see down deep in the water with electronic fish finders and other gadgets and gizmos. But what if you don't have all this equipment and technology? There are ways that you can still find crappie just as easy.

The first thing you need to know is that crappie love cover. As a general rule, you can expect them seeking cover in brush and underwater debris. Any time you see a brush pile or similar pile of debris in your body of water, you can expect there may be some crappie hiding there.

If you do have equipment to help you such as a depth finder, you can use this to help you judge where the crappie are but as a general rule, look for areas of brush, piles of trees and debris or areas around docks and buoys for crappie.

When you find a good spot, you will likely be able to fish from here regularly.
Crappie also tend to stay in an area that they like and return to it again and again so if you find a good spot in the lake on one fishing trip, it's usually a good spot the next time you come.

When traveling the water area in a boat and looking for crappie, you can look for areas of underwater logs, piles or jams of debris. If using a depth finder, you know to look for places where the depth suddenly becomes shorter for no apparent reason. This could mean there is something below and that's where the crappie want to be.

Learning how to spot the crappie is one of the most important things you will ever learn. If you are new at fishing or fishing for crappie, it may seem difficult at first try but once you get the hang of it, you will become a pro at spotting crappie in most any body of water at any time.

Once you find the crappie, you know where to drop your lines and make your catches- the rest is all a piece of cake.

When you find a good spot full of crappie, always try to fish from the outer edges of your school. This is the best way to make sure you get the most fish from a single location as possible.

Remember that schools are regularly on the move so if you fish one spot for a while and the bites seem to run dry, just move on to another spot. When the bites end, pull up your buoys and move on to another underwater structure that could be seeded with crappie.
