Fishing with a “Poga Gal”

Some anglers are reporting the bite is starting to slow down for Crappie. The pattern has continued with fishing mixed vegetation with lily pads and reeds or cattails. However, some anglers have been pulling bedding crappie from lily pads and Arrowhead patches. Look for deep water nearby, checking areas 3-4 feet deep. Using a long pole, dip, dab, or dob a minnow with a bobber and sinker. Some anglers prefer the "Thump" of a jig dipping it into holes in and around vegetation. Spider rigging out the front of the boat, pushing poles in deeper water, is an option when the bedding crappie has moved to deeper water.

Another option is drifting with minnows and a bobber or trolling for crappies with jigs in deeper water. Whichever technique you try, it will be a fun day on the water fishing for Crappie in sunny Sebring, Fl. Refrain from being surprised if you find an occasional bonus bass or two while crappie fishing.

If you are fishing for a Florida Trophy bass, moving baits such as swim worms, swigs, chatter baits, or top water choices such as a hollow body frog or Swim bait is always fun and exciting. So get out on the water and fish; it's lots of fun for all, and you'll make memories that will last a lifetime!!!!!!!!
