First time fishing for Crappie. Slow start, strong finish! Making the first ever crappie sushi.

Teresa Croy caught a 3.91-pound crappie that edged out the previous state record by just one tenth of a pound.

For trolling use redneck trolling rigs with Pet spoons, or yankee trolling rigs with Coyote spoons. Report by Jim Beggerly, jimsfishinglakepalestine. Crappie are good with jigs and minnows in creeks ...

Hybrid stripers should be sporadic biters, with the best chances in the mid-morning to early afternoon times on bright days, often trolling. Crappie should remain deep during the winter.
