Fishing guide
Black Crappie (Pomoxis negromaculatus), or Calico Bass tends to frequent clear lakes and streams. Crappie are rather deep-bodied fish that are popular as food and are prized by sport fishermen. The body is usually silvery-gray to green in color with black splotches and rows of dark spots on the fins. They can reach up to 50 cm in length and weigh as much as 2.8 kg, but are usually around 18-25 cm and 0.23-0.45 kg. Black Crappie prefer to feed on fish, insects and crawfish.
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Black Crappie would be to use Leeches on a size #1 hook.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Tubes.
The most successful lure is Gold and Black Trout Barbless Nano Spinner 6 g, #1/0.
