EARLY SEASON CRAPPIE

When it comes to early season fishing opportunities, few things are better than spring crappie action! For anglers of all ages, the bobber going down and thoughts of a fantastic meal never gets old. 

While spring crappie fishing is relativity simple — you are hunting moving targets. And crappies move a lot during this time frame. 

Good spring fishing can start as soon as the ice leaves the lake. Finding them is a big part of the equation and that depends on a lot of variables. Locationally, man-made channels are good places to start the search. After that, shallow weed bays with bulrushes or developing weed beds are good options. 

A lot of good crappie fishing also revolves around consistent weather. Warming trends draws fish in, while cold fronts push them out. One day they're loaded; the next day, they're gone with the wind. 

Watch Al Lindner and Ty Sjodin with more insight into finding and catching one of North America's favorite fish: The Crappie.

As a kid I craved the big fish. As a senior I'll take Crappie all day everyday.

Imagine growing up in the 80s/90s, watching these guys fish water that clear. Our bath water isn’t even that clear🤣😂
Gotta love the Red River Valley, TX

Fished that spot for over 30 plus years and it produces some really big crappies. Ty went to the same school as me growing up and is a heck of a Good Fisherman. Fishing with Al would be a blast in my Opinion.

Grew up where Al use to fish in Midwest.

Can't wait for all the hard water to go away so I can start fishing again. Would like some crappies for the deep fryer.

I knew this lake, 2 hours drive from Minneapolis.

This seems to me to be focusing on northern fishing.

Saying early season does not help. It all depend on the water temperature. You need to tell us what month and what is the water temperature. Early season like early April in North US with 40-50 degree temperature you got no fish in the lake.
