Title: Crappie
Post by: tumbleweed on April 06, 2014, 12:29:48 PM

Hi,
 My two boys(8 and 10) want to try and catch some crappie. Is it still to early, does it need to warm up a bit? What would they use for bait? I have never targeted them. I am trying to encourage as much outdoor activity as I can away from the video games.
Thanks ;)

Try sturgeon slough in Pitt Meadows there are alot of little crappies that are easy to catch try a small jig in green with a float and you will catch em like crazy.It is too early but there is the odd fish here and then mixed with bass and sunfish.Try in august when its warmer.
