Fishing the Spring Crappie Spawn

Fishing the spring crappie spawn can be very exciting because the large males are protecting the nests after the eggs are laid. These large males become very aggressive and will attack at just about anything that comes near the nest that is perceived as a threat. Some very large fish can be caught at this time of year.

Step#1 The fist thing you need to do is identify potential spring spawn crappie structure. Look for trees that have fallen in the water these areas normally hold crappie. Fish the area normally... and once you get a bite, you know they are there. You'll want to fish the entire area around the structure systematically.

Step#2 It is recommended that you use a 1/8ounce "peewee jig" made with chicken feathers. If the jig isn't working , switch to "Missouri Minnows"

Step#3 Jig the peewee jig one inch above the water.Gently submerge the jig, start jigging upward until you are one inch above the water.

Step#4 Continue this process again, submerge the jig gently, and continue jigging upward until the peewee jig is one inch above the water.

Step#5 After you have repeated steps 1-5 about 3 or four times, submerge the jig all the way to the bottom. Move the jig upward 6 inches and start jigging.

Step#6 Slowly pull it out of the water and do the same thing about 6 inches away from the previous location on the water.

fleagle, any chance of guys fishing from the shore finding these beds? Or they too hard to see ?

[fleagle]

you can find them from the shore, look for backwater areas off from the main channel and lakes. many times they will be in very shallow areas. if you can find a back water area with lots of stumps and brush you can find the crappie.
