favorite crappie lures, baits, methods or strategies?

just lookin for some new methods to try...

cool thanx

awesome wish the ice woulda lasted a lil longer tho :(

Mighty bites are the way to go! 12 feet of water 6-8 feet under small float can't be beat

2" soft plastic. Tubes, grubs ect.... on a 1\8 or 1\16 jig head. Panfish Assassons are my favorite. Tons of colors available, just sayin.. hope thishelpa

iv seen those mighty bites on tv a few times.... whats the smallest size they come in?

If they are in the shallows I use a flyrod and use a varity of foam bodied offerings. One of my goto's is a green foam spyder with white rubber legs. A fellow I used to fish with used a heavy Hopkins jig in deeper water. He did quite well that way.

Has anyone ever used Tony Scott T-Bone jigs?

On the ice;
I prefer a medium fathead hooked with a small treble under the dorsal hanging from a deadstick. (small splitshot about 12" up)

In the spring;
I like a medium fathead lip hooked with a gold aberdeen hook at the appropriate depth under a slip float. (again, with a small split shot)

In the summer and into fall (if I can find time to fish them in the fall);
I like to either troll hot & tots for them or work a Charlie Brewer Crappie Slider in the brush.

Google...Charlie Brewer ect. tells ya all ya want to know.

1" Gulp alive minnies a couple feet under a float with a small split shot and a small flo. orange or flo. yellow octopus circle has worked well for me sight casting to the crappies in the shallows. When you can get live bait, the gulp seems to do the job pretty well.

Lil' Hustler micro tubes (1") in glitter smoke, I also like micro spoons size small in green.

Have read alot of good things from chauncy on this board and others about the microspoons. Might finally have to give them a try this year.
