Basic Tackle Guide For Beginning Crappie Fishermen.

Many of us are needing to get into fishing. The difficulty is, many of us don't know where to start when choosing the right gear to go Crappie fishing. Which BTW, often happens in Apr thru May in a lot of the Midwest. It can start as early as mid Feb here in Louisiana. If you plan on casting live bait or jigs, then I favor an eight foot spinning rod with light action. BM makes a superb rod with enough spine to drag Slabs out of the brush. As for reels, I favor a spinning reel over any other kind. Zebco makes a undermount spincast reel that you'll be able to find at Wal-Mart. You drive down to San Felipe Mexico on Sat. and you either get a room at a local hotel or sleep on the ship at no cost which is docked till Sun. morning. Here's a educational page on halibut.

The 1st day you travel on the mothership to get to the fishing grounds. Its a fun day of fellowshipping with the other anglers and meeting the crew. It is such good and fun fishing that nothing even compares to it. These are great family trips and they are excellent for younger children. If Im using tiddlers, I like a little larger slip float with an one / nil Aberdeen Tru-Turn hook. This could be a tiny bigger than what some folk will use, but Ive discovered that I am getting more deep mouth hooked fish where the point penetrates the roof of the mouth, not the paper thin lips. You will find a collection of jigs in a selection of colours at just about any sporting products store. I usually carry about six jigs colours with me as Ive fished my area long enough to grasp what colours work.

Guarantee you are taking along an ice chest for refreshments and for something to keep your fish cold till you can get them home and clean them.
