I don't know how i missed this thread either ---- grew up in MN and crappie fishing was always good! Tip for bait --- my goto was always a Mister Twister Q tail jig on a spinner rig -- the kind that is a V shape with the jig on the bottom and a single blade on a swivel on the other leg - line tied at the tip of the V.... Always a solid producer - bass love it too. Casting the shallows and the weed lines was standard. Otherwise it was a caribou jig tipped with a minnow jigging the holes and structure. We had lots of lakes that would produce 3/4#ers all the time -- my best was a 2 3/4 #er thru the ice --- he was a MONSTER --- barely fit thru the hole!

Wait, are they good eats? Growing up i was always taught if i caught one i should kill it since they are garbage and bad for other fish.

I havent fished in 20 years so i havent killed many though

I don't eat fish myself but I did learn the filet them. Apparently they are good eating fish. My kids fried them up. The last few times out we didn't catch much and the ones we did were let go for another day.

Goooood eating deep fried with hush puppies!!! :thumbsup2:


Yep, my kids loved cooking them up.

We are officially moved into the lake house so that is my new back yard... Going to start planting some habitat in our part of the lake to get the bass to grow up.


Down in the South our habitat restoration on the lakes was strapping Christmas trees together in large bundles and dropping them in the deeper waters. The leftover trees were distributed around the shallows. :bigsmile:

If you threw them away then you threw away very good fish, blaspheme. They are delicious when deep fried with hush puppies. :thumbsup2:
