The the crappie is one of the most sought after game fish in America and they have been named odd names such as calico bass,speckled perch,speckled bass,white perch,pole crappies,strawberry bass, and paper mouth. When calico bass move into the pre summer period which happens when the water temperature goes into the 70 degree range. The pre-summer period is when the speckled perch move into their regular feeding patterns and they are much more predicable.
The pre-summer period is when the food chain is most plentiful and the crappie are in full feeding mode. You can catch crappie on just about any crappie bait using a variety of different crappie fishing rigs. strawberry bass will be found in multiple locations such as weed beds, flats, breaks, and some will always be suspended. They may be concentrated in just one of these areas, but many times during the pre-summer period you will find pole crappies at all of these locations at the same time.
You will be able to catch crappie with live bait or artificial crappie jigs. Also a combination of crappie jig heads tipped with crappie live bait such as crappie minnows, flat head minnows, shiners, and small crayfish will work well. Actually just about any crappie bait will work well during the pre-summer period.
In deep southern lakes and reservoirs strawberry bass will appear on primary and secondary points on the main lake where there is a break or drop off to deeper water. Deep timbered channel edges will also hold paper mouth during the pre-summer period.
In northern lakes calico bass will move to area’s to establish themselves in the habitat they intend to stay with throughout the summer. As long as their natural food source remain the same the crappie will remain in these areas. That is why in northern lakes the calico bass will be very predicable during this period and crappie baits such as any live bait like crappie minnows, shiners, fathead minnows, small crayfish, and even fresh mussel meat will work to catch crappie during the pre-summer and summer periods.
Well that concludes my article about Artificial Crappie Jigs. Have a great day!
