If you are a person who is always striving to be better, then pay close attention to the key crappie catching tips I have for you. If you want to avoid simple mistakes that cost you time and missed crappie hits on every fishing trip then these tips are for you. If you develop your own set of fishing rules when you target the crappie species you can improve your crappie catching ratio. Like any sport, a set of rules need to be practiced. For example if you are baseball player and you want to improve your batting ave. you first need to establish a set of batting rules and then practice them. The old saying practice makes perfect always holds true in any sport including fishing. In the following article I would like to introduce you to a few simple rules and guidelines that you can add to your personal crappie fishing routine and will help you catch more crappie.

#1 rule You need to take a "Never Give Up Attitude" Rome was not built in a day! To be a good fisherman it takes lots of practice and experience just like any other sport. If you do horribly one day out on the water use your failure to your advantage. Put your day under a microscope and determine what you did wrong, then document it. The documenting will help you remember not to do it again. Also, if you have an exceptional day, document went right for you. I put this rule as number one because if you take a never give up attitude you are going to become a better crappie angler.

#2 rule You need to log every detail of your crappie fishing trip. For example if I was fishing with a 1/32 once red head jig with a green curly tail this should be noted. If I was dropping my bait to the bottom and slowly jigging and reeling upward you should log how many cranks of your reel and at what depth you started getting hits. Also date, time and location are important. GPS locations are the best for locations.

#3 rule It is very important that you do some research and learn how to fish for crappie with live bait. There will be times that just using crappie jigs won't cut it. Many professionals use a combination of crappie live bait and artificial baits when fishing for crappie. If the fish are not hitting on your main crappie jigs you may need to switch to live bait or a combination of live and artificial baits. You need to concentrate your research around your local area that you fish most of the time. In any location you need to use crappie live baits that are a natural food source for the local crappie population.
