Crappie Honeyhole: Amazing results!

Where you find structure you will find crappie. What most fisherman don't know is you can manufacture your on crappie fishing structure. After you sink your structure keep it private. It can be your very own secret crappie honey hole for years to come. The best brush I have ever used is the limbs cut from a Willow tree. These limbs have multiple branches that are perfect for little crappie fry to hide. make sure you cuttings are least 3 foot in length and have from 7 to 10 branch's minimum. Sink you branch cuttings or any of the other artificial structure you plan to sink, with a cement block or something heavy so it sinks directly below where you put it in the water. Also , the brush won't shift if it is anchored down. I always use a cement block with a short rope about 2ft long, tied to the main cut branch. Crappie are very similar to bass because they like to stay hidden waiting for unsuspecting prey.

I recommend you build and sink your "private crappie honey hole" in late fall. The crappie will have time to find it, and use it for the next years spawn. If you sink your home made crappie structure in the spring you need to do it immediately after ice out.

If you want to build you can build artificial crappie structure for all seasons. You will need to make three different sets of artificial crappie structure and sink them at different depths. Sink one set in the crappie structure in the shallows for the early spawn and spring fishing. Sink one set at mid depth for late spring crappie fishing. Sink one in deep water for summer crappie fishing. I would suggest you build and sink your artificial crappie structure in areas that are not accessed easily by other fisherman. Make sure you drop your brush when no fisherman are watching. If your honey hole gets a lot of fishing pressure the crappie may move out to other fishing locations. I always look for places that would not interest casual boaters. You are probably asking why? Well by using three different locations you create crappie honey holes for different parts of the fishing season. I you can find a spot where the bottom starts deep and gradually goes to shallows you can build your three locations inline. Just mark each location with a GPS point, that way you can come back again and again without wasting any precious fishing time. If you have young children this is an excellent way to get them interested in fishing. Kids are impatient, but if you take them to a honey hole where the action is almost instant, you will nurture their interest in a wonderful sport.

This technique will work no matter where you are located at. Crappie love brush and structure as their habitat no mater what part of the country you live in. Make sure you check with your local laws to find out what is legal to sink for structure.

One more point I want to address. Make sure you check with your states regulations for placing objects in your fishing area. If you are ready to catch a regular batch of crappie whenever you go out fishing then get out and create your crappie honey hole now! Good luck with your fishing see you later.
