Crappies naturally will suspend at certain depth where they are in close proximity of any unsuspecting prey. Crappies typically are called many different names by local fisherman such as calico bass, speckled bass, speckled perch, white perch, pole crappie, strawberry bass, and papermouth. paper mouth are notorious up feeders so they will suspend at depths that they can attack their prey above them or to the side of them, but never below them.  You will want to place your crappie bait presentations, like crappie live baits and artificial crappie jigs so the are at eye level, in front, to the side of , or above suspended speckled perch.

 In natural lakes white perch will relate to the deepest edge points of weedlines. The

paper mouth will also suspend at the edge of drop offs and hard pan to mucky bottom break lines. It’s critical that you have a sensitive and accurate depth finder, fish finder to fish for suspended crappie. You nee this very valuable piece of your crappie fishing tackle to identify potential areas that the speckled perch will be suspended at.

 In late summer suspended crappie will be located at the edge of deep growing, low lying weed. If this type of vegetation is common throughout the lake you are fishing, a good crappie fishing pattern would be to fish these edges using a variety of crappie baits such as crappie jigs and soft plastic grubs or tubes tipped with wax worms, or crappie live baits such as crappie minnows or shiners.

 In lakes where weed lines do not extend all the way to the edge of drop offs, strawberry bass will be suspended just of the drop off point at a depth equal to the bottom of the weed line. The suspend at this depth to wait for unsuspecting prey coming in and out of the weeds, like small bait fish or small crayfish. In very clear lakes weed lines will typically grow past and down into the drop off. papermouth will often suspend at the horizontal and vertical positions clos to the edge of the weeds, here again waiting for unsuspecting prey.

 In very clear lakes or reservoirs you will want to use crappie baits such as live crappie minnows, shiners, crayfish, or shad if they are native to your lake or reservoir, using ultralight crappie fishing tackle. You will want very thin dia test lines like 2 to 4lb test monofilament or 8lb braided fire line. You will need to use very small artificial crappie fishing baits like crappie jigs with plastic grubs and tubes. Some of the more popular crappie fishing jigs that work well are .

Catching crappie in hill land reservoirs

Hill land reservoirs much like flatland reservoirs hold large populations of crappie any trophy crappie will be there for the taking. Crappies have some amazing names that local fisherman have given them over the years such as calico bass, speckled bass, speckled perch, white perch, pole crappie, strawberry bass, and paper mouth.

 Hill land reservoirs have many fingers and branches that originate from the main basin of the original river channel. These reservoirs are much deeper that flatland reservoirs but they are not as wide because these reservoirs are constricted by the adjoining hills. The main creek or river channel will not be located close to shore. Use your depth finder , a good topographical map to find the orginal channel, then record the gps coordinates for future use. The creek arms are full of sunken timber are white perch magnets.The water color in these waters can range from clear to a greenish tinge to even stained. The color can vary on the season of the year. Because rainfalls in the spring will turn the water color murky.

Catching crappie in these lakes can be easier if you know where to go. The  papermouth in these reservoirs will migrate to new locations with the change of seasons. Crappie food will include small gizzard shad (in some reservoirs), small threadfin shad (in some reservoirs),crappie minnows,shiners, and insects. Crappie jigs with plastic grubs, or plastic tubes and tipped with wax worms will work fine for crappie bait when you fish near submerged timber areas in the creak arms. You can also catch crappie in the original creek channel using crappie live baits such as small gizzard shad, threadfin shad, crappie minnows, shiners, or small crayfish. You will want to use multiple crappie rods rigged with various crappie baits fished at different depths. Once you start to catch crappie anchor off and reset all your crappie poles to the depth and the bait you caught your first white perch. You can also use ultra light crappie crank baits trolled or casted casted along the edge of structure such as sunken timber or drop offs.

Durring the spring and summer large crappies will follow shad schools and feed almost entirely of fresh shad as their diet. If you you can find the shad schools you can have great success catching crappie. Some of the most popular crappie jigs you use are Gum Drop Tubes,Micro Jelly Jig,Bailey’s Crappie Magnet,Micromini Jig, and Mizmo Mini Tube.
