first lookig for crappie isnt that hard if you know where to look in the spring,[size 1]AVOID CROWDSBarn-door crappie get cagey when people and boats are swarming. Fish when fewer folks are on the water - weekdays, in winter, at night. Better yet, fish fertile backcountry crappie waters that seldom see other anglers at all. These can often be found in wildlife management areas, national wildlife refuges and national forests. Many of them hold gigantic crappie, thanks to the lack of fishing pressure. 2WATCH FOR ISOLATED UNDERWATER COVERLarger crappie often use isolated underwater logs, treetops, etc. instead of visible cover pounded by more anglers. The hotspots usually are near (not necessarily in) deeper water, where big crappie can simply move deeper when feeling threatened.3BE DIFFERENTAre other anglers zigging? Maybe you should zag. Fish become conditioned to certain baits, lures and presentations, and you may catch more lunkers by trying something unconventional - a rosy red minnow instead of a golden shiner, for example, or a new lure or presentation that hasn't caught on yet. Give a small bass spinnerbait a try, or a jigging spoon. Be open-minded. Experiment. TRY CRANKBAITS and med spinners.they got bigger by being a little more cautious,and lokking more closely at there prey,and abush technichs[/size]

thats how better bigger fish stay in the lake they were probally caught when young and are looking more closely at baits ,i think we are educateing the fish with the same types and tactics so a slight change might give you a fish of a lifetime.

You need to get out there buddy. I can't handle 2 days without fishing. I start to go nuts. My wife will eventually kick me out for a few hours while I get the fishing bug out from under my skin.
