Cold Weather Crappie Tricks
Cold weather crappie are not easy to catch in the dead of
winter because most anglers don’t fish deep enough. But most
anglers try to force them to be shallow. There is a way to
catch cold weather fish but some extra work is required.
Once the water gets cold the crappie head to deer water.
The food source the thread fin shad move to main lake
haunts and the crappie will follow. Most anglers can’t
find them so going fishing for cold weather crappie is not
a common goal. Using a quality depth finder can produce not
only numbers for crappie but some really large fish. Look
for these fish in and around deep structure and on major
docks. Deep structure will be bridge pilings, standing
timber and deep creek channels. The major docks around
lakes that are over deep water will hold crappie all year.
Lots of shad around these docks hold fish. Sunlight on
enclosed docks will warm the water and only a couple of
warming degrees can make a world of difference.
Live bait is not a cold weather tactic. Live bait moves
around and the crappie are not willing to chase their
food in cold water. We have seen small sunfish pick the
eyes out of the shiners on the Aqua Vu under water camera
while using these baits. But use a slow deliberate jigging
technique and the fish will bite. Small spoons and Bass
Pro Shops Squirt mini tube baits will attract a hungry
crappie. Using light line in the four pound test on an
ultra light spinning rig is deadly. Colors in the
spoons will be silvers and shad colors. The Squirt tube
baits can be in almost any color. Use the smallest lead
head jig as possible. Down to a 1/64 ounce lead will give
the baits a very slow fall.
Dropping bait vertically is the key. Casting, trolling and
drifting are not good cold weather tactics because the fish
will not chase their food. Another reason vertically jigging
baits works is that the depths can be carefully maintained.
Drop baits all the way to the bottom. Very slowly pull the
baits up and gently shake the rod tip. Strikes will be very
light and the fish simply hold on the baits creating slack
in the line. Add some Jack’s Juice shad scents to the baits
for extra strikes.

FISHING JOKES CORNER
------------------------------------------------------------
Two rednecks, Bubba and Earl, were fishing on
Lake Okachobee drinking a couple of six packs of Bud.
The passenger, Bubba, said "Lookey thar up ahead, Earl,
it's the Fish & Wildlife boat!! We're gonna get busted
fer drinkin' these here beers!!"
"Don't worry, Bubba," Earl said. "We'll just set here and
finish drinkin' these beers then peel off the label and stick
it on our foreheads, and throw the bottles into the livewell."
"What fer?", asked Bubba.
"Just let me do the talkin', OK?," said Earl.
Well, they finished their beers, threw the empties out of
sight & put a label on each of their foreheads.
When the marine patrol pulled along side, the game warden said,
"You boys been drinkin'?"
"No, sir," said Earl while pointing at the labels.
"We're on the patch."
[Thanks Steve!]
