dave524 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I catch crappies on spinnerbaits, they aren't very shy I liked the Blakemore "Road Runner " style of spinner bait better than the safety pin type setup when fishing for crappie, a countdown style of retreive works the best especially when they are suspended, find the magic number.

chefboi17 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I really like the 2" Berkley glow ripplin shad for night fishing, they look almost alien when charged with a uv flashlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJIG Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Here some picks of what I picked up... I think I'm pretty good now... The variation of the micro-tube above with a white body, instead of black, is my all-time favourite crappie producer.

Stoty Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) @ stoty how do you fish the Xzone for crappies? drop shot?? I rig them one of two ways.... depends on what the fish tell me that particular day. 1) Under a slip float on a small 1/32 or 1/16 oz jighead 2) Dropshot For the most part, in the Kawartha's I use the slip float method, but other places like Simcoe and such the dropshot is the start of the show. Here's an article I wrote a couple years back about Ice-out Crappie on the Kawartha's using Pan slammers..... http://stoty.com/?p=511 Edited April 1, 2014 by Stoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time for that lake this hard water season - unless somebody can find a helicopter.......... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
