Spring Crappie bite is on

May 14, 2011 Peter Wood Fishing Comments Off

Spring fishing for Crappies can often be hit or miss.

Finding fish is the key of course to a tasty diner.

A great on line tool to use is the MNR Fish-On-Line website

Choose a lake near you, hook up the boat, pack the kids and head out.

You can of course fish from the shoreline or from a pier but it does limit your search.

A back bay about 6-8 feet deep will hold fish or marinas and canals.

Bait selection is easy, real minnows or Gulp bait works just fine.

A 1/16-1/8^th oz hook, or jig, bobber and 4 lb test line on a light rod will take

care of the equipment side.

It really is that simple.

The spring bite only lasts for a short time

so get out soon.
