hutchies Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah I know most people don't think about fishing for them except in the spring. I went out yesterday and jigged one dock during the middle of the day and caught well over 20. Threw them all back. Most were a litte small............9 to 10 inches. Had a couple of 12 inchers but I normally don't keep them unless over 12 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 A ten inch crappie is pretty good for around here! I like them through the ice but once the water warms up they seem to get a bit mushy. I went Yo-Yo ing once in Arkansas and we were whacking 15"ers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah in the spring we get alot of 15 to 16 inchers. I thought I had one yesterday but when I pulled in up I had 2 that were about 9 inchers. I run a 2 jig setup anytime I jig for crappie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdhunter39 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 crappie are a blast to catch and the table fare is second to none when it comes to fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I agree they are great to eat..............for you guys that like to crappie fish and have a little boat I have a trick for ya I use to jig docks that the owners don't allow people on. Pull right up next to the docks and drop anchor...........use the trolling motor to keep you close. I normally do this when the wind is right and it will keep me right up against the dock. I normall fish mainly around the pipes holding the dock in place or the place with the most shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskybnd Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 they are some good tasting fish we only fish for them when they are about to spon, after that its hard to find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Try boat docks on the shady side............. especially around pillars or obstructions in about 15 to 25 feet of water. They have been sitting about 8 to 15 foot deep lately. You will know when you find the right depth.............cause they will hit everytime you drop it there Edited June 27, 2009 by hutchies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
