Curtis Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Guys I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips on fishing crappies in Rice lake. I will probably be launching out of Harwood on the south east end of the lake. I was thinking there maybe some failsafe spots or area's on the lake that always hold these fish or a certain type of area i should be looking for when fishing them... I have a sellection of minature crannkbats an tubes and jigs. ect.. So i think i am good for baits i just dont know what to look for when it comes to the prime crappie locations.. Thanks!

Stoty Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hey Curtis, You are pretty much on one of the major hotspots for spring time crappies on Rice. Fish "The Gap" in Harwood with tubes/minnows under floats, and you will clean up. Cheers, *Stoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm not famliliar with that area, but what you are looking for is reeds, green weeds, rocks or wood in shallow water. Think..."Where is the warmest water?" and "Where will the minnows hold?" The Crappie will be close to the minnows... They feed upwards, so set your bobber at two feet or three feet deep to start. Fish shallow and work deeper...When you catch one Crappie, you can bet that there are more in the same area. Now try moving the bobber deeper or shallower and try different baits etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
