			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to learn <a title="How To Catch Crappie" href="http://www.howtocatchcrappie.com/"><em><strong>how to catch crappie</strong></em></a> easily in spring? Many crappie enthusiasts know that the best time to  do their fishing is in the spring season. This is one of the easiest  ways to fish but it can really be frustrating if you don&#8217;t know some of  the effective crappie fishing techniques. Having knowledge of this  techniques can aid you into catching crappie even after the starting  spawning days are finished.</p>

<p>The important thing that you have to keep in mind is that spring is a  busy time for crappie and so they tend to move around a lot. Therefore,  you have to keep up and move around with them.</p>
<p>The crappie will move to the deeper part of the water at the start of  this season and they will slowly swim towards the more shallow water as  spring begins to settle in and the water starts to warm up. They are  looking for places to spawn. When it&#8217;s summer time, they will be  swimming back out to the deeper water. This important piece of  information will help you to know the best spots where to fish for  crappie.</p>
<p>When the weather isn&#8217;t friendly for the crappie, you need to make it  easy for them to bite the bait you&#8217;re introducing to them. One example  of a confusing weather for the crappie would be in the early spring when  it has been warm for a few days with a sudden moving of a cold front.  This kind of weather condition would frighten the crappie and they will  head back to the deeper water for safety &#8211; thus making them slower to  bite. So if you want to catch more crappie, then you have to use a  technique that will make it easier for them to bite during this  troubling condition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tip #1</strong> &#8211; One technique that seems to work during spring is  called <em>&#8220;bumping bottom&#8221;</em> and you&#8217;re going to use a dropper rig to  utilize this technique. This technique works by showing the minnow to  the crappie in a vertical position with a dropper rig. Obviously, in  order to do this method of fishing you need to have an idea where the  fish are hiding in the deep water. Most of the time they can be found in  rocks, ledges, stumps and other similar places.</p>
<p>You must introduce the bait by bumping it on the bottom in these  areas or simply letting it float around the openings. The best option to  use is a 1/2 ounce bell sinker attached to the end of the swivel to  prevent the line from twisting and using a minnow will be your best  choice for the bait. Keep in mind that you need to have calm weather  conditions to use this technique or the line will move around too fast  for you to have any positive results.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2</strong> &#8211; Another method that you need to practice is knowing  the difference between the crappie biting and the bait just rubbing up  against something. The reason why this is very hard is because the  crappie has such a soft bite. There will be a lot of frustration at the  beginning but keep on practicing in order to learn the difference.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #3</strong> &#8211; You can also try <em>trolling</em> which is another  useful crappie fishing technique for spring. With trolling, you have to  line up several rods in a row with the same kind of line and bait on  each rod. You need to be consistent and patient with this method in  order to catch a lot of crappie. However, you do need to review trolling  regulations for each lake before heading out because the rules for each  lake maybe different.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #4</strong> &#8211; There&#8217;s a technique on how to catch crappie that uses  both trolling and &#8220;bumping bottom&#8221; and it&#8217;s called &#8220;pushing&#8221;. This  method is very good for catching spring crappie when they are swimming  in the shallow water. This is a very simple technique that can be done  by using a live bait. If you want to get started, then you just need a  few rods with lightweight reels that are placed at the edge of the boat.  Put a bell sinker and a couple of hooks, a foot apart, and you&#8217;re ready  to begin fishing.</p>
<p>This is the most effective method to place the bait in areas where  the biggest crappie can get to it. It lets you position the bait where  you want it and keep it there until the fish become interested. Keep in  mind that you must always move very slowly to utilize this technique  properly or you won&#8217;t get the results you&#8217;re hoping for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not having any luck when it comes to fishing crappie in the fall? It&#8217;s really frustrating when you go crappie fishing during the fall because they&#8217;re just all around the water and hard to find.</p>
<p>Anglers will go to lakes and reservoirs and crappie will typically stay in or just around the thermocline. Fishing in shallow water is fine during the cooler periods, but crappie rarely heads out to the &#8220;dead zone&#8221; below the thermocline. Look for cool places in the water that provides the thermocline and you&#8217;re going to find crappie.</p>
<p>Everything changes when fall begins. The cold weather lowers the temperature of the water and this pushes warmer, lighter water back to the surface. Because of this the crappie once limited to oxygen and temperature are now able to move more easily.</p>
<p>Some waters don&#8217;t go into this transition and rivers are one of these cases. The angler will need to be creative in order to catch some  crappie. In this article we&#8217;re going to take a look at some of the more creative tips that you can use.</p>
<p><strong>1. Find Crappie&#8217;s Comfort Zone</strong> &#8211; If you want to be a successful crappie angler &#8212; regardless of the season &#8212; then you need to learn the places where crappie are comfortable at staying. You might think that it&#8217;s easier to catch crappie in the fall because they basically just live anywhere in the water but there are still other factors that you need to consider such as oxygen content, light penetration and food sources.</p>
<p><strong>2. Use Standing Timber</strong> &#8211; When the water starts to clear, crappie likes to hang out on standing timber. In this condition, crappie can move shallow or deep as water and weather conditions dictate. During cloudy or windy days when light doesn&#8217;t pass very far through the water, crappie might be between a few feet of the surface. In sunny days, you might find them right under the bottom. You just need to adjust your strategies accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>3. Handle Cold Fronts</strong> &#8211; A passing cold front can really spoil your crappie fishing. They can still be caught but you have to work extra hard for it. It&#8217;s obvious that you can&#8217;t control the weather but what you can do is adjust your presentation when the weather isn&#8217;t friendly. Crappie likes to go near structures during this condition. If you want to catch them, then you must lay out your presentation to a vertical style, keeping the bait in front of the crappie longer and in a specific depth range.</p>
<p>The transition from summer to autumn can be quite a headache for most crappie anglers. I hope you found the tips in this article to be informative and I wish you more success with your crappie fishing in the fall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many crappie fishing tips that you could use and one of the most effective techniques is trolling. There are many options to trolling but basically it has a baited line being brought to the water while the angler stays stays in a moving boat.</p>
<p>If trolling isn&#8217;t done properly, then your day will seem nothing more that a leisurely boat ride. Enjoy reading some of the trolling crappie fishing tips below.</p>
<h2>Get Your Equipment Ready</h2>
<p>Before trolling, always make sure that your fishing gear is well prepared. If you&#8217;re going to depend on your boat for trolling, you need to make sure that it will function efficiently. Put a trolling motor in your boat so you can easily move around the water as carefully as possible.</p>
<p>When it comes to selecting your jigs, pick one with white or yellow bodies and red heads. You can also use jigs that have different weights because the weight of your jigs will tell you how deep you&#8217;ll be trolling. It&#8217;s also going to help you if you troll using many crappie jigs simultaneously, all at different depths.</p>
<h2>Pick Your Fishing Area</h2>
<p>Choose your trolling area carefully. If you want to catch more crappie then you have to think like them and get inside their heads. One thing to remember is that the crappie likes structures. Try searching for areas where crappie can easily hide themselves while catching smaller fish and heading back to where they hide.</p>
<p>Places that you can look for are stump areas, around the rocks and sunken wrecks. If you really want to get into it then try using a topographical map when crappie fishing.</p>
<h2>Use A Scout Fish</h2>
<p>When you go fishing, focus on catching your first crappie. Use a live bait such as a minnow. To keep the minnow from drowning, bait the hook by thrusting through the bottom and also above its mouth.</p>
<p>Once you have got your first crappie of the day, you might want to make it your &#8220;scout&#8221; fish. Your scout fish will help you can find more crappie that are in the water. But before using this strategy, you have to make sure that using a scout fish is legal in your fishing area.</p>
