Most anglers can catch a few cold-water crappie as a matter of luck, regardless of where or how they fish, but determining how to catch a limit requires more than just good fortune. The best crappie anglers know they can learn from those first few fish and quickly determine how to eliminate barren water and focus on spots holding more crappie. They ask where will crappie be right now and what tactic will catch them when they’re found. In other words, they establish a pattern.
Part of the process requires knowledge of patterns gained from years of fishing. The angler relies on past experience to help him find and catch fish. You can shorten the learning curve, however, if you study the following information about patterns commonly exhibited by cold-water crappie.
