There are many fishing strategies that you can use to catch some crappie but looking for their hiding spots is definitely important.

There are lots of anglers who have been fishing for a few years now but sometimes they can also make some mistakes. We just have to follow some general guidelines on where to look for crappie.

Just like any hunting season, there are certain dates that we need to take note because crappie are hiding in certain times of the year. One of the effective areas to look for them when they are not going to the nearest river to stay for winter to avoid the hot temperatures is among the weeds, brooks, lily pads and other areas they can hide during the day.

Because of this reason, this is where fishermen is going to look for crappie. If you want to know how to catch black crappie then being able to pinpoint these crappie hideouts and carefully getting into casting position in order not to startle the crappie is the first step. The crappie is somewhat active during the spring and autumn, so a jig that's moving fast, a cork, or a bob with a minnow will be wonderful for the angler.

When in the summertime, anglers will want to definitely check out for crappie in shaded areas that are very near to deeper waters. Looking under docks and bridges are good places to look along with the typical cover they prefer. You will have more chances of success from dusk to dawn, especially in the summer since the fish love to feed after the dark.

Look for crappie in the streams, rivers and lakes that have old trees and sunken logs in the side of the banks. There's a big chance that you can spot fish like bass and trout in these places. Get your hopes up if you didn't see any crappie because there's definitely something for you.
