How To Troll For Crappie - Tutorial!

[lukedh94]

Hey Guys!

With the fishing a little slow during the winter months - Crappie provide a good species to target because their bodies don't slow down as much in cold water as compared to bass and other game fish. In this video, we show how to troll a lake and find/catch crappie. Hope it's helpful and have a good day yall!

He isn't wrong. Crappie would actively feed through the winter and ice fishermen target them. Not so much bass. Bass pretty much go lethargic, and are very hard to catch. Same is true of flathead catfish, but not channel catfish.

I see what you’re saying lol, but we put a 2 man limit in the boat, and culled some fish on Christmas afternoon, and had to bust ice out of the guides of the rod from time to time...

sorry i cannot speak to ice fishing but if you think open water bass go lethargic and are very hard to catch you are dead wrong.

Harder to catch. The cold slows their metabolism, sends them deeper on the whole.

well rather than argue with me check out some infishermen magazine articles on NORTHERN cold water bass.
they have destroyed the whole deep and impossible myth up there and i thought everyone in the south knew better.

Best day bass fishing was the day I didn’t go and went trout fishing.

I will agree fish slow down to a point. you need to find them on the ice just like in a boat.
