Darl Black Wow has it been a hot,
Vic Attardo hot summer! September
Jeff Samsel is the transition month
Keith Sutton for several parts of our
Ron Presley beautiful country. This
Vernon Summerlin means that the crappie
John Neporadny, Jr will start their feeding
binges to prepare for the

Cooler nights and
days will definitely
spark the fish to pursue
the maturing shad and
minnows in their lake
and river habitats. Fish
will congregate near or around the food to build
body fat. This opens up catching the crappie
with several other techniques in open water.
I just returned from a trip on Rend Lake in
I l l i noi s w or ki ng w i t h t he Offs hore Tac k l e pl aner
board folks on how to use the boards with jigs and
crank baits. Learning to pull the boards wasn’t
that difficult. We will address this new technique
in future articles in our magazine.
We were also using the new technologies
including Garmin Panoptyx. We were able to
locate critical structures and depths. We isolated
fish and baitfish schools around the river channels
and ledges.
Crappienow is continuing to expand its
methods to reach you with the right Crappie
fishing information, how-tos and techniques. Be

concerning expansion.
God Bless and Good Fishing!
