The the crappie is one of the most sought after game fish in America and they have been named odd names such names as calico bass,speckled perch,speckled bass,white perch,strawberry bass, and paper mouths. During the summer period strawberry bass become less aggressive and to catch crappie you need to use some fishing savvy to locate the white perch and to identify crappie baits that will work best.

The paper mouths are less aggressive because the natural forage such as crappie minnow fry, insects, plankton , adult crappie minnows, shiners, fathead minnows, small crayfish are plentiful and the speckled perch can be more selective on what crappie baits such as crappie crank baits, crappie jigs, crappie jigs tipped with live baits that they will attack for food. The white perch have replenished their energy levels from the winter and they are attacking anything that looks live food anymore. The speckled bass are much more selective during the summer period.

The sun is high in the sky and the dog days of summer have hit the environment above the surface, but the underwater world is in high gear.  During the summer period of the year thermo clines form in natural lakes and reservoirs. In the natural scheme of things old mother nature responds by regulating feeding time for all the different species of fish including the calico bass.

In some big reservoirs the big calico bass will move entirely out of the shallows and into deeper water areas. The dead of summer is the best time of your to get your gear together anight fishing for crappie nd head out to the lake. You will need a good underwater fishing light and some good led powered lamps to make your night fishing trip more enjoyable.
