Countless people enthusiastically fish for crappie in the spring when big females head shallow to spawn. Then, many of them forget about crappie until the following spring. If they do, they could miss some of the best fishing all year.
“People who only fish for crappie in the spring are making a huge mistake,” said Clay Blair with Clay Blair Fishing (662-501-0302, Facebook), who guides in northern Mississippi. “Fall is absolutely my favorite time on the water. The fish are more aggressive. The weather is usually more predictable. Leaves are changing and it’s beautiful.”
