Question/comment:  Summer Crappie
Hello, I was lucky enough to meet your father in the  early 70's and I have been using your products ever since ( must be good!) How do you fish for crappies in the summer? I have just started to crappie fish and I am told they are hard to catch in the hot months. Keep up the good work. You make a great lure and great rod.. Frank
 
 Answer: 
Hi  Frank,
  Sorry for the delay I have been out the last two weeks.   Well..I'm not an expert on summer crappie fishing at all.  Most crappie in our area our caught away from the banks in deep water in the summer.  Sometimes they are on the bluffs and down about 20 feet or so;  OIther time on channel drops.   Area that have brush, trees, stake beds, sunken roads and etc. are places where crappie tend to stay especially in the deeper water.  One place that friends tell me where crappie are caught shallow in the summer is Trueman Lake in Missouri.   They catch crappie in 2 to 3' of water around standing timeber.  This lake has a lot of crappie.  I want to try the summer time crappie there since it is different from local waters.   Another place or structure for crappie is up under docks.  Some fishermen shoot docks to get up under them for crappie.  Night time crappie around laterns and piers and docks that have some light is a place for summer crappie.  Lakes that are shallow and have liiy pads are places where crappie can be found year round.  Its's harder for them to hide.  I have also caught crappie will floating streams and creeks in a canoe.  The water is colder and I do tend to catch some crappie along with other types of fish. Friends of mine catch crappie along with other species below the tail water of dams. Summer fishing for crappie is not my best time.  I think the main thing is trying to locate them.
