About Sunfish Where to Fish Want to go crappie fishing right now? We recommend...
Crappie nest in colonies and the females may lay eggs in more than one nest.
Crappie congregate in schools prior to the spawn and during the nesting period which make them a popular target for anglers during the spring.
Black Crappie are heavy fish eaters but will eat plankton, insects and shrimp in the absence of fish.
The lifespan of the Black Crappie is 6 to 10 years.
FISHING METHODS: If legal, the best bait for black crappie is live baitfish such as minnows, shiners, or shad, two to three inches long.
Crappie will hit small rapalas, or Broken Backs, however, the most popular lure is an 1/8th ounce lead head jig with a rubber or marabou skirt.
If you haven't caught a fish within 15 minutes after fishing a likely spot, move on, they probably aren't there.
FISHING METHODS: Pieces of nightcrawlers, redworms, mealworms, grubs and nymphs are all good bait for bluegill.

Winter Is The Time For Bass And Crappie At Clear Lake, by Dan Bacher
Winter is not considered the best time to fish for largemouth bass and crappie in California lakes, but Clear Lake can produce some of its most exciting fishing for both species this time of year.
For the past 10 years, Don Paganelli of Paganelli's Bass Fishing Experience has experienced topnotch minnow fishing for largemouths at the lake from December through February.
'We'll be fishing minnows with two methods today, bottom drifting with a single split shot shot and drifting under slip bobbers, ' said Paganelli.
Then we'll move to another spot where the bobber fishing is more productive.' With a light action Loomis spinning rod, Paganelli showed us how to drift the bait.
The fishing was so good that we lost exact count, but we caught at least 30 bass by 1 p.m.
For a cold, rainy day at the beginning of January, bass fishing was as good as it gets.
Several boats came into the general area we were fishing - and they began catching one big crappie after another.
I love crappie fishing, having spent hundreds of hours fishing with Claude Davis at Lake Berryessa nailing crappie from the docks at Markley Cove from 1986 to 1990.
I gave Paganelli a crappie jig I had and he put it on a drop-shotting rod.
