Ice Fishing for Crappie Tips

by fishinghelper

Crappie fishing is one of the most popular types of fishing in
America. Crappie are found in literally all of the continental
states and they can be found in most any type of weather and
environment. They are typically pretty easy to catch which is
another thing that makes them so popular. They can be found in
small ponds, large lakes, rivers and impoundments of rivers. The
good thing about crappie is that they are also found in northern
areas and in colder climates. In fact, you can even fish for
crappie in the ice and snow.

If you're looking for a new and interesting way to fish for
crappie, it's time to consider ice fishing. But if you do, you
need to know that there will be some different techniques and
tactics to use than fishing in warmer weather for crappie. You
need to set out prepared, especially if you have never been ice
fishing before. Before you set out on the frozen waters, here is
some ice fishing for crappie tips to help you along the journey.

Where to Fish
 
Now that you've decided you want to ice fish for crappie, you
probably have a lot of questions on how to do this properly. One
question you may have when ice fishing for crappie is where to
fish. If you are already familiar with the body of water you are
fishing in, this will be a considerable help when ice fishing for
crappie. If not, then you will have more of a challenge to find
the right spot and the right depths but it can still be done. 
 
You may also find it very helpful to invest in an underwater
camera. (There are even models that are shaped like crappie and
won't spook the fish). This allows you to become more familiar
with the waters in the area and underneath the ice where you
cannot otherwise see. 
 
When ice fishing for crappie, you will usually need to go deeper
in the water to find schools than you would at other times in the
year. The oxygen levels are often depleted closer to the surface
so schools must swim closer to the mid-to-low depths of the body
of water. How deep you go will depend on the overall depth of the
body of water you are fishing in. 
 
How to Fish
 
When ice fishing for crappie, it's important to remember to keep
your bait above the fish schools. How high above them you go will
really depend on the visibility of the waters you are fishing in
but you need to be sure you have ample room to bring the fish to
the surface. Fish from your hole in the ice, trying varying
depths until you find one that seems to have good biting. 
 
Remember that it is important to keep your bait moving. You
don't want to move too quickly for less active fish or you will
be unable to get a bite so judge your quickness based on the
activity levels of the fish at the time you are fishing. But
holding the bait too still will not get any interest at all.
