weekenwii saturday w6vember 15 1997 p21 crappie fishing made easy during the fall months outdoors mike hayakama when a lot of anglers think of fishing for black crappies they associate it with spring time autumn however can be an equally productive period to catch these delictible delights suggests crappie enthusiast spiro abouros enticing me recently to wet a line with him for a day on one of his favourite hotspots on the waters of lake couch- iching abouros proved his point after we filled a pail to the brim with these small er members of the bass family abouros theorizes that old man win ters premature arrival turns over lake water temperatures which then deters weed growth crappies then seek out places where weeds remain relatively healthy fulfilling this prescription he says are back canals or shallow bays that bottleneck into the main lake body and are relatively free of any currents should these places also exhibit some form of structure like wooden pilings or sunken brush piles all the better he adds anchoring our vessel tight to the shoreline we rigged up our light action rods with a slip float and a 116 or 132 ounce pink or white coloured phenix tube jig using a slip float will enable you to experiment at what depth these fish might be feeding at aborous sug gests its better to fish shallower than deeper as crappies tend to come up to strike a bait rather than go down after one as for tube jig colours abouros feels pink or white imitates a form of freshwater shrimp that comprise a part of their diet if you dont have a tube jig a live pin tail minnow rigged off a float is equally effective in using a float it does not hurt to go with as long a rod as possible similar to river steelhead fishing so as to pick up your slack as quickly as possible when ever it

tossing our baits as far away as possible from the boat we kept a close surveillance of our floats and gave it the odd twitch so as to let the jig show some underwater move ment the decision to do so paid off shortly after as abouros landed the first fish a nice thick slab of about 13 inches because crappies are a schooling fish in nature it wasnt long before the floodgates opened as the action at times was almost nonstop but like flicking off a switch the feeding frenzy subsided and it was as if the fish went on a hunger strike we then moved to another spot that offered some form of structure like clockwork the crap pies soon began to cooperate again especially when a slight chop scarred the water surface what made the day even more rewarding was that time does not factor into the equation as to when these fish will hit being diligent feeders crappies will hit almost anytime of the day to paraphrase an old expression why wait for spring for good crap pie fishing when you can do it now i
