Many anglers start packing up their rods and reels and begin storing them away in the fall. This is a shame because crappie fishing can be just as productive in the fall as it is in the spring.

In fact, it can even be more fun and productive because there are fewer people out on the lakes and rivers making noise and scaring off the crappie. This means fewer distractions, less competition and better results for each fishing trip.

One thing that discourages anglers from fishing for crappie in the fall is the fact that they are more scattered out during this time of year than at any other time. This makes them a little harder to find. They are also more unpredictable so you may have to work a little harder but this just makes it more of a challenge and more rewarding.

Summer Crappie Fishing

If you're looking to max out on crappies this summer, look no further.

And then when you want nothing more than to come home with a stringer full of crappies, they're nowhere to be found?

Well if you're in the mood to spend a day at the lake raking in the crappies like a pro, then take a look at what the pro's say about what they use and how they use it.

First of all, around this time of year (August as of now) when the water temperature finally begins to warm up, you won't find crappies in the shallows. By this time, crappies are done spawning and typically abandon the cover they used during spring, which means you'll have to do some work trying to find schools of them.
