While crappie are some of the more common fish throughout much of the United States for anglers, different approaches to catching the swimmers must be taken, depending upon location, time of year, and mood of the fish. Georgia crappie fishing is fairly good year round, if you know what tactics to use to catch their attention.
Overall, it is best in spring, when the schools of crappie are in the midst of their spawning runs. You can use one of several tactics when fishing for crappie, including still-fishing, casting, trolling, and drifting. However, keep in mind that, because crappie prefer to be covered, you are most likely to find them beneath brush, stumps, or even some form of artificial cover, at depths between five and twenty-five feet, depending on how high in the sky the sun is. At night, they prefer deeper waters and may even feed. The best bait is live bait. However, you could also use a crappie jig or a small crappie lure.
Georgia crappie fishing can take place at any time of year, using the right tactics. In the spring, live bait, jigs, and spinners will offer the best results. You should drift bait around slowly until you catch one crappie; then, concentrate on that area, since you have most likely discovered an entire school of fish. Georgia crappie fishing in the spring should concentrate on more shallow waters, as these sunfish are in the middle of spawning and are looking for warmer waters in which to do so.
In the summer, it requires that you cast a line a little deeper, as the fish will tend to remain farther from the direct sun as it rises in the sky. How deep they will swim simply depends on the lake itself - assuming it is deep enough, you may have to search at depths of 35-45 feet. In the summer, live bait and jigs will still work nicely, but trade out the spinners you were using during the spring for spoons.
During the fall, Georgia crappie fishing can be a bit difficult. The fish are migrating deeper into the lake during the daytime, with shallower appearances in early morning and late evening. During the daytime hours, spoons and jigs will work well in the outside deep structure. Other times, you can use live bait and spinners to get a bite.
