This is a totally unsolicited review of Crappie Panfish. I wrote it exclusively for you. Trust me on this one. Crappie Panfish has completely surpassed our expectations.
Does anyone use uncle buck's lures?
If anyone didn't know, i love going to local creeks, catching bluegill & crappie and eating them! Sheww ... gettin' me hungry right now! And i'm always using new lures and trying Crappie Panfish them out and stuff ... I seen some of these panfish creature type baits by Uncle Buck including ones that look like craw dads, bream, minnows, grasshoppers, and a whole bunch of crap. Is these any good for bluegill, shellcracker, crappie, etc.And if you didn't know I LOVE BASS FISHING. And while looking for panfish lures i saw some bass sized ones too. I think one was called the Rattlin' Shad? But, any ways anyone recommend them?

I use 10 footers, but it’s mostly for spider rigging. This way they’re further away from the boat so there’s not an issue of getting tangled up in the motors.Also, some use the longer poles for doodlesocking so they can hit brush piles from a little further away in hopes of not spooking the shallow fish.

For bluegill you can use wax worms, earthworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets. You can use soft plastics like, grubs, minnow tubes, and road runners. The same could go for crappie, but you can also use crappie nibbles, which are a small marshmallow like ball of bait. You can tip a small crappie lure with one for added attraction (scent and color). Here’s a link to the Cabela’s panfish section. You can get a look at different lures and prices, plus read reviews about the products.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/index/index-display.jsp?id=cat410020&navAction=jump&navCount=1&cmCat=MainCatcat20166&parentType=category&parentId=cat20166

river fishing crappie holding to cover as you are I fish the up current side first looking for very active feeding fish with beetle spins,feather jigs or road runners.I then move to the leeward side to feed them live minnows and the jigs casting up to the cover and drifting back.For fish holding tight to cover I use fine wire hooks as the mustad #3777 draught hook or custom made vertical spinner tipped with waxy or minnow.The fine wire hooks will bend well with 4 to 6 lb test line and can be straightened out a few times before breaking off.I use 2lb test and loose lots of jigs and hooks but when the bite is good catch many fish.

What you use for crappie and panfish sounds good to me. Are you talking about white bass? Or those hybrid stripers? A 1/4 oz sounds good for those too.

Ummmm.. dude are you serious??? LAKE OKEECHOBBEE is one of the best croppie lakes in the country they get huge too. Also Canals are good for croppie, bass, and even nice catfish.

LAKE ASSUNPINKOne of the top perennial bass-producing waters in the central part of New Jersey is Lake Assunpink. This lake annually produces some of the best catches of good-sized bass in the state. Despite drought conditions, anglers enjoyed good bassing last season and should this year, too. Bass in the 6- and 7-pound class were weighed in at several local tackle shops. Bass tournaments on the lake produced good results for anglers.Ask anyone who fishes Lake Assunpink on a regular basis as to why it was productive when most of its better known counterparts were not and you’ll likely to get 10 different answers. There were, however, a few factors that Lake Assunpink has in its favor. Lake Assunpink’s waters come from a drainage system of the same name. Unlike most other drainages that were severely affected by the drought, water levels, while lower, remained relatively stable at Assunpink.The large number of springs that seep into the lake also helps keep its water a few degrees cooler than most other lakes. Assunpink is often wind- swept even under the slightest breeze. This produces good oxygen levels, which allows bass to cope with the higher water temperatures.The lake’s 225 acres of surface water are largely shallow and the lake has silted in considerably since it was built. The lake’s backwaters contain heavy vegetation during the summer and this produces excellent surface plugging action. Even though its waters are much shallower than the other lakes we discussed, Lake Assunpink still has plenty of open water and 10-foot-plus water where plastic baits will provide you with good bass-fishing action. In particular, the old streambed that is still visible on a depthfinder produces some excellent numbers of bass on jig-and-pig and jig-and-plastic worm combinations.Unlike the other lakes detailed here, Assunpink does not have a smallmouth population. The lake’s maximum depth is about 15 feet, with an electric motor-only rule.The fisheries management program is directed toward largemouth bass as the major game species, so largemouth bass are abundant, as are channel catfish. These species were first stocked in the early 1970s. Hybrid striped bass are also stocked, and hybrids in excess of 5 pounds are not uncommon. Angling opportunities for chain pickerel and black crappie are excellentBoth bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish are present, with the bluegill being the more numerous. Brown bullhead are present, but not taken in great number in Stone Tavern Lake. Rising Sun Lake has abundant bullhead with excellent size, according to state officials.Chain pickerel are present, especially in Assunpink Lake, where they reach up to 18 to 20 inches. Other species that also call these lakes home are creek chubsucker, banded killifish and golden shiners.I didnt see anything about Muskie there

you might have to find a pond and get your own……when I was a kid, we used to go fishing in the fall and throw panfish in our pool to help keep it clean over the winter……they did really well…..and were all still alive every spring.

6″6 medium light for the rod. Now for the reel…I have a little bit of a dilemma. I personally would go with the 6lb/130yds because I’m a lightline type of guy. I think most people would go with the 8lb/140yds. That will take anything you can toss at it. A 4-10lb test rod will have enough backbone to pull fish (bass) and yet retain enough sensitivity to fish for panfish/crappie/trout. These aren’t “light” rods. They aren’t made with ultralight angling in mind….that would be more like 1-6lb….that’s ultralight. It’s a difficult decision on the rod because fishing for bass is totally different from crappie/panfish. It’s a completely different aproach and “feel.” I would recommend looking into a seperate setup for each….or at least a different rod if you can. < <<<>>>>If I were you, I would just fork out the extra $10 and get the Shimano SYMETRE/Fish Eagle II combo. That’s a MUCH better reel. I have two, and I put them up close to the Stradics I have. The Sahara isn’t going to be as smooth or as durable as the Symetre. The Symetre was a mistake for Shimano – they put better technology in a “cheaper” reel. That’s why they had to UP the price two years ago. They realized that too much of the same technology was in the Symetre that was also in the Stradic FI. I would definitely go with the other combo….you’ll be glad you did – it’s a world of difference.

No crappie there.Plenty of bluegills but none are very big.There are catfish and carp there if you are interested.Largemouth bass are in there too. Unfortunately, their population isn’t that healthy in those lakes due to poachers.Trout are available only when DFG planted them. Poachers, locals and birds get those planted trout real fast.Addition:Yes, there are crappie at Puddingstone. But, most crappie there are pathetically small due to overfishing. I’ve caught bluegills bigger than those crappie. LOL Readear fishing at Puddingstone is pretty good though.

I went to a lake which I believe is called Beaver Lake in Minnesota a couple years in a row and had no trouble catching monster bass and a few good size pike. The locals all said there was good muskie fishing there, but we didn’t bother because we were doing so well without them. It’s a small lake that you have to go through a pretty narrow “channel” to get to from a much bigger lake (which also has pretty good pike fishing)A nearby lake we went to (Black Lake) was a haven for perch and panfish. We just stayed at a state park near the lake and launched our boat every day.We also had good luck in Gull Lake and Grass Lake.

The fl 20 will work well for walleye.

Well Lake McBride has a lot of crappie and catfish you could also go to the Palisades Kepler state park and fish the Cedar River, and then there is pleasant creek lake which is north of Cedar Rapids, the Maquoketa river by Manchester is fun to fish and below the Delhi Lake damn is fun but it is catch and release for bass. I would suggest purchasing a Iowa Sportsman’s atlas as it is extremely helpful and only 20 dollars. Those are all places that can be fished successfully from shore that I use to fish when I went to school in Cedar Rapids

Use a light spinning rod, 8 or nine feet long, rated for 4 to 10 pound line (using an 11 or 12 foot medium light action spinning rod will give you a greater casting distance). Use 4 or 6 pound test. Tie a plastic grub on a 1/16th ounce lead jighead to the end of your line and about 6 or 7 feet above the jig, maybe even 8 or 9 feet, put a clear bubble float. No need for a barrel swivel or a fluorocarbon leader. Cast as far out as you can near a weedline, brushpile, or other cover and if there’s any wave action on the water, the float bobbing up and down will give all the action to the jig below. If there’s no wave action, hold the rod high and give the tip subtle twitches and jiggles. Underneath docks are a good place too, if you can manage to get your float up under them.

Most fish go deeper into the water looking for the warmer temperature water when the top is froze over. So, you will want to drop your hook deep and reel it up just a couple of short notches.
