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. This replicates the natural cover and it's a great place to find fish. 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. You want the wind or current to push your boat towards the attractor.(If you are not in a boat , get an anchor rope, tie an anchor to it , and throw it out there... you will see why in a moment)

Step#2 You can use your normal summer crappie fishing rod and reel setup, and for bait you can use "grass shrimp", if available or "Missouri minnows". 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 Tie a number 4 Aberdeen gold hook about 6 inches above the sinker at the end of the line. Bait this hook with (2) grass shrimp, or (2) Missouri minnows.

Step#5 Make sure you drop a second anchor if you are in a boat so your boat doesn't move back and forth.

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!

You see, Crappies love to hide in the shadow that is created by the anchor rope. This method can be used when you go summer crappie fishing or spring crappie fishing where there is artificial or natural structure.
