I need help with crappie fishing. I have a good fish finder, but, I don't know what to look for. Can anyone give me some tips on how to find them?

Well, I sure am glad that you "Titled this 'Thread' the way you did"... I had a neighbor in Pigeon (Bayou Pigeon); a lifetime ago; who used to speak of: "SockRollEye"... Now, I'm thinking that he was saying: "Sac a Lait"... What I've always known as Crappie... I think I like the Cajun name, better. I'm pretty sure that I would fish them topwater, early or late, during daylight hours. I see right where they're feeding, that way.
I'm guessing that an experienced "guest fisherman" on your boat one day, would be the best solution to figuring out that "fish finder". ... Good luck with it all.

Thanks, I've been looking at different images online of what they should look like on my particular fish finder. I'm always looking for pointers.

Hi Mr. Wood. I'm not a crappie fisherman but will catch and eat when can. From what I have read, they love brushy structure like downed trees in the water or Christmas trees that people put in water for habitat. Best of luck.
