Where should i crappie fish in early may? Also should i use minnows or jigs?
Hi, I’m a beginner crappie fisher and i was wondering what areas i should fish for them at. I heard to fish the standing trees in the water. The fallen trees in the water and the banks. Also should i use minnows or jigs? The lake i fish is about 64 degrees Fahrenheit. I went fishing a few days ago at a different, smaller lake and caught them around standing trees. Also i fish from a boat, and i have a fish finder.
Well seems like your doing the right thing with fishing around wooden structure. Also don’t forget about any wooden structure that is on the windy side of the lake, this will push plankton, bugs, and bait fish near the shore. The wind causes waves which will knock any plankton or small crustaceans off logs, or out of rocks. Keep fishing the wooden structure, don’t forget about the windy side of the lake, use that fish finder, and get after em’! It wont be to much longer before they start stacking up around shallow wood structure to spawn, then you can really rip some lips. Also if you have looked closely, on the logs, trees or what not, that are shallow, they have algae/moss and that also attracts the bait fish because they like to nibble on it. As far as using a jig or minnow, i would say use a jig, like a crappie magnet first. If the bite is tough and you’re not catching very many then go to the minnow. If the bite gets even tougher, and they have “lockjaw” then go with a jig tipped with a minnow. or a jig tipped with a piece of night crawler. Hope this helps, Good luck fishin’!
