Old School Crappie fishing Family Secrets

Summer Crappie fishing

In Many areas of the country the department of natural resources will create fish attracting structure for anglers, they uses concrete blocks with re-bar and other misc. material. Both Artificial or natural structure is great for summer crappie fishing. What the state DONR is attempting to do, is to create cover that is close to that of natural cover. Many of these areas hold allot of fish and are fun to fish, both during spring crappie fishing and summer crappie fishing. You can fish around these (as well as natural structure) during the summer using some of the following technique:

Remember : Fish around any structure, man made or natural, Crappie absolutely love structure!

Step#1 Use about 100 ft of half-inch anchor rope and drop anchor (if you are in a boat) about 100ft from the structure you are going to fish around.Position you boat where the wind or current will push Your boat towards the structure.(if you are not fishing from a boat you can do the same, we will show you why later.

Step#2 Use your normal rod and reel setup, and for bait you'll be using "grass shrimp". Make sure you hide most of the hook inside the grass shrimp or Missouri minnow.

Step#3 Tie a 1/2" long bass sinker to the end of your fishing line.

Step#4 Eight inches above the sinker you will want to tie on one number 4 Aberdeen gold hook, and bait it with two " grass shrimp" (largest you can find).

Step#5 If you are in a boat, drop another anchor to keep the boat from being blown all over the place.

Step#6 Cast very close to the long, 1/2 inch anchor rope you started out with. Start to reel your bait in very slowly, occasionally "pop" or jerk your bobber using your wrist. Stay as close as you can to the anchor rope as you reel in. Keep doing this as you slowly reel... then pop!

Crappie love to hide along the anchor rope because they can hide in the lines shadow. This method can be used when you go summer crappie fishing or spring crappie fishing where there is artificial or natural structure.
