Spring Crappie – The Time is Right!

Spring is here! While many of us in Central Wisconsin and other parts of the Midwest have been and still are concentrating on walleye, for me, it is now time to shift gears into a different species, giant Crappie.

The water temps are pushing close to 60 degrees, the lilacs are beginning to bloom... For many anglers, this means the whitebass spawn is about to get hot! For me, however, it means the giant crappie will be moving into shallow water to prepare for their spawn. The float fishing season has arrived.

We fish the docks hard, and up into the shoreline, catching crappie in as shallow as one foot of water. Pinky jigs tipped with a minnow are always the "go to" choice when it comes to crappie, especially in the spring. But what is equally, if not the most important, is utilizing a quality float.

We are banging these floats into docks, steel boat lifts, shoreline rocks, trees, and other obstructions, trying to get in where the big slabs are sitting. We always choose a quality wood float, in either a slip bobber, or a stick float. There is no better float on the market than those made by Carlisle. High visibility, high durability, and low cost are why we always choose Carlisle.

So, what are you waiting for. The time to get on the giant spring slabs is right now!
