Crappie Catching 101

Alright, let's talk tactics. Crappie fishing isn't just about dropping a line and hoping for the best. Jason will clue you in on the best techniques for these waters. We're talking light tackle, maybe some jigs or live bait, depending on what's working that day. You might be doing some vertical jigging around structure or slow trolling through known crappie hangouts. Jason's boat is set up with all the latest gear, including fish finders, so we can spot those schools and get right on top of them. And here's a pro tip: when you feel that light tap on your line, don't jerk too hard - crappie have soft mouths, so a gentle hook set is all you need.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the star of the show: the crappie. These little fighters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. In Belgrade Lakes, we're mainly after black crappie, which can grow up to a respectable 12 inches or more. These guys love to hang out near underwater structures like fallen trees or weed beds. Spring and early summer are prime times for crappie fishing, as they move into shallower waters to spawn. But don't worry, Jason knows how to find them year-round. Crappie are known for their light, flaky white meat that's perfect for a fish fry. And here's a fun fact: they're called "papermouths" because of how delicate their mouths are. It's all part of the challenge and fun of catching these feisty fish!
