The BEST TIME To Fish For CRAPPIE??? Crappie Fishing From Shore!

 

Wondering when the ideal time is to fish for crappie from shore? Fall is definitely up there! Today, I’m using a float rig and a Gulp Alive Minnow to see what I can catch near a log along the bank. The crappie action didn’t disappoint—I caught a nice variety, including a few unique black-nosed crappie! Fishing near structures like logs is a solid bet this season, as crappie often school there. If you’re looking to reel in more crappie without a boat, grab a light setup and try fishing from the shore. With just a bit of patience and the right spot, you’ll be reeling them in in no time.
