When is the best time of day to catch the crappie and what do I need to catch the fish?

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY TO CACTH THE CRAPPIE AND WHAT I NEED TO FISH WITH.

The best time to catch crappies is at night or during the early morning hours before the sun becomes so bright. You can easily catch the crappies with a minnow or a jig or with both. It is easy to catch crappie once you locate the school. I have seen anglers catch them with ice fishing poles, fly rods and cane poles. You do not need anything really fancy to catch this fish. All you need to know is where the fish are located. You will have to check with local anglers in the area you will be fishing, but fishing for crappie should be the same everywhere. The only thing that might change is the time of day to fish for them. If you stay with early morning hours, you will have some good success stories. Crappie fishing is probably one of the easiest fishing to do. I have never heard anyone say that they could not catch crappie because of weather or equipment. They only thing I have heard is that on busy or active lakes or rivers, it is harder to catch crappie because of all the commotion. The best water to fish is going to be water that is not busy and one that has some brush and deadwood or underwater rocks for the crappie to hide by. Once you find the school, you should have no problems taking home the night’s dinner. You can catch your limit very easy whenever you cast your line out.
