Just like he said MJ, small jigs with bright colored artificials, small ones or minnows, also small.
They are delicious, I used to scale em with a table spoon I filed to have a semi sharper edge to scrape them. Batter and deep fry whole.
wonderful.

And "C" Money I see where you got your first initial and how you got your name!

aka "speckle perch" or in Louisiana, "sacaulait" (french for sack-of-milk).

Actually Phat all my friends from the south call them crappie also. In Louisiana one of my best friends and his and my son pulled in about a hundred out of his private lake to have a huge fish fry.
Called them crappie.
Lake Solitude LA.

Nice haul C$...what lake were you on?

[cmoney]

Thanks guys that was on lake Cherokee in Oconee sc its a small lake near keowee that has Great fishing. All you need is a couple of ultralight rods and some crappie magnets or minnows under cork and its on. Also when the fish start to slack off i take a paddle and tap it on the deck of the boat, thud thud thud and it makes the fish go crazy.
