Just As Good As Minnows Artificial Lures For Crappie
Crappie fishing tips from Jack Lovett Jr. advise live minnows of 1.5 to 2.5 inches as most effective, with small artificial lures workable in clear to moderately stained water. Use drop fishing to locate spring schools, drift along banks, anchor quietly, and fish slowly with tailored lures and colors. Spinning gear and fly tackle both work, with keel weights and fly-rod combinations increasing success.
