Greetings All:
If you like to fish for crappie as much as I do, then it's time to start fishing the running sloughs all along the Mississippi. Right now the crappie bite in these running sloughs is hot. Many nice fish in these areas on minnows fished near deadfalls and downed timber. Use a very simple presentation for best results. I have been using a small, gold salmon egg hook fished under a slip float with excellent success. Add a split shot or two about a foot above your bait, hook the minnow lightly midway between the dorsal fin and tail and you are ready to catch fish.
Look for this good bite to continue until river levels drop another foot or so. When this happens, the crappie will migrate again into the deeper waters of the main river until Fall.
So if you are heading out on the Mississippi this coming weekend, don't forget to hit those running sloughs and cash in on the fine crappie fishing that's happening now.
