Crappie Jigging Techniques
1) The Bobber Rig: Use a slip bobber and rig one to two jigs directly under it spacing them out accordingly. Once you are rigged, just cast it into your favorite crappie hole fishing spot and real in slowly with the occasional jerk for movement. If the crappies are there, they will bite.
2) Cast and Retrieve: This is just like you would fish jigs in saltwater. Just cast it out and work it back carefully jigging it along the way.
3) Vertical Jigging: This is our favorite way to fish for crappie. Tie on your favorite crappie jig and drop it into your favorite crappie spot. Slowly jerk it up and let it fall giving it a wounded baitfish appearance. No matter the terrain you are fishing whether its fallen trees or artificial crappie hole this should work every time.
