Yes crappies which go by peculiar names such as calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappies, strawberry bass, and papermouth can be caught during the coldwater period of fall and early winter. The cold water period typically starts after the water has turned over and the thermocline stratified  Also The water temperatures will have dropped below the mid 50 degree mark. Surface water temperatures will be the same as the bottom water temperatures. As the weather continues to get colder the water temperatures at the bottom will be warmer than that at surface. One the water has turned, Coldwater crappie fishing patterns will start to emerge.

 Although the white perch’s metabolism has dropped the cooling envirement has also triggered the strawberry basse’s instinct to feed for the upcoming winter months. The pole crappies may move slow during the cold water period but they will not pass up a good  meal if you present a good crappie bait.

 To catch crappie in large deeper lakes and reservoirs during the stable coldwater period you will need crappie fishing rigs set up for a deep water crappie fishing presentation. And ideal crappie bait to use during this period is any small invertabrates such as small crayfish.  During the cold water period the water turnover sends the the warmest oxinated water to the bottom , and the coldest water goes to the top. Soon after the water turnover period has stabilized all the paper mouth and the natural forage will they need will seek the deep water area where the waters are warmest.

 To fish the a deep water presentation you will need to use a good deep water slip bobber rig with crappie jigs and crappie jigs with safety pin spinners. A excellent coldwater crappie live bait selection to catch crappie would be small crayfish, crappie minnows, fathead minnows or shiners. You can also catch crappie with a deepwater slop bobber rig fished on the bottom using enough weight and a crappie hook tipped with a live small crayfish as your crappie bait. In larger deep lakes and reservoirs you will find white perch at deep areas off main lake shorelines in 3o to 45ft of water loacated on a soft bottom area. In shallow bowl shapped lakes with little structure, pole crappies may suspend right in the middle of the lake in 20 to 30 ft of water. In any speckled perch habitat area, pole crappies will suspend 5 to 10ft off the bottom. During the stable coldwater period coldwater period you will seldom find papermouth near the surface.

During the summer period speckled bass become less aggressive and to catch crappie you need to use some fishing savvy to locate the speckled bass and to identify crappie baits that will work best.

The white perch are less aggressive because the natural forage such as crappie minnow fry, insects, plankton , adult crappie minnows, shiners, fathead minnows, small crayfish are plentiful and the papermouths can be more selective on what crappie baits such as crappie crank baits, crappie jigs, crappie jigs tipped with live baits that they will attack for food. The papermouths have replenished their energy levels from the winter and they are attacking anything that looks live food anymore. The pole crappies are much more selective during the summer period.

The sun is high in the sky and the dog days of summer have hit the environment above the surface, but the underwater world is in high gear.  During the summer period of the year thermo clines form in natural lakes and reservoirs. In the natural scheme of things old mother nature responds by regulating feeding time for all the different species of fish including the strawberry bass.

In some big reservoirs the big speckled perch will move entirely out of the shallows and into deeper water areas. The dead of summer is the best time of your to get your gear together anight fishing for crappie nd head out to the lake. You will need a good underwater fishing light and some good led powered lamps to make your night fishing trip more enjoyable.

The  paper mouths are nocturnal and they feed aggressively at night during the heat of the summer. A good night fishing crappie rig would consist of a slip bobber that has a small battery powered led light that attaches at the top. Place small split shot and a good crappie hook on your line next.
