This Week's Fishing Tip

Spring time crappies can be easy to catch--just as my friends from the Island of Trinidad found out on 5-4-07. When the water surface temps reach the lower to mid 50's check out the shallows just outside the old bull rush beds. Many times these old weeds beds are located next to old cattail beds like in the background of this picture. Simply flip light small bobbers and small #8 hooks tipped with a lively crappie minnow (1-2" long) or a wax worm set about 1.5' below the surface in 2-4 ft of water. Remember, do not keep the female fish. Try to keep the dark colored crappies like in this picture--they are usually the males. The future is up to you!!
