This is a Crappie question

[bushart]

Hey Guys/Gals

 

I moved to zone 15 from NW Ontario recently and I have a quick question---Tomorrow the wife and I are gonna go after lakers but I believe there's crappies in this lake.

 

Any tips on where and how deep to look this time of year?

also bait choices?

 

Also I see there's a walleye slot now---used to that

 

Thanks

The crappie should still be relatively shallow right now.

Look for them in the 5-10 ft range around weedbeds.

 

Micro tubes, grubs spinners, and crankbaits are a must have.

If you find schools of crappie/perch, try turing your boat around 180 degrees and throwing crankbaits and grubs for walleyes. They shouldnt be too far behind.

I like 2" grubs, FIN-S minnows/shads, and 2"tubes under a float.

 

Look for shallow bays, in full sun. They are looking for the warmest water around. Shallow bays with a dark bottom seem to produce best for me, as do marinas and docks. Usually, if they are there, you'll catch them.

 

Good luck!
