BASS PROS CRAPPIE FISH

A comment made by all these
professional bass fishermen is that
crappie fishing is an excellent way to
introduce kids and aging baby boomers
into the fishing world. They all feel that
with today’s excellent electronics, they
can find and catch the crappie fairly
easily thereby able to take someone
new to fishing and have them enjoy the
thrill of catching a fish. Mark has taught
both of his daughters, Natalie and
Hanna Grace to fish for crappie; along
with many other kids from his church.
Terry has introduced his daughter into
the fishing by crappie fishing. Jeff is not
only a professional bass fisherman but
a fishing guide and will be happy to take
you on an unforgettable crappie trip.
These three pros are all on Facebook,
so you can follow them and enjoy their
fishing adventures.
One other interesting thing I’ve
learned about bass fishing professionals,
they are all happy to share tips they
have about crappie fishing. They often
will tell about the similarities of crappie
and bass fishing. The one takeaway
here is the use of electronics which
continues to change for the better and
these professionals all rely on them to
be successful. It is so much easier to
learn about electronics by watching and
listening to these pros.
So the next time you visit with a
bass professional, don’t feel bad about
talking with them about crappie fishing.
Most every one of them has done it and
still doing it and the best thing is they
are happy to help you. Always practice
good water safety and go catch some
slabs.
