The "Crappie Stalker" Float, when used properly, can be your best ally for catching the much sought after Crappie, often referred to as the "Calico Bass". There are several factors to know in order to be the most efficient when fishing with your "Crappie Stalker" float. First, fishing the right type of water where crappie are feeding. Second, fishing the proper depth. Third, choosing the right sized float for the job. Combine these three factors and you will be on your way to bringing home a "mess" of crappies.

Fishing the right type of water is important in catching crappie. Crappie travel in schools and like to hold , generally preferring water 3 to 6 feet down, although you will sometimes find them in deeper water at around 15 feet.

Early Spring crappie will come into the shallow areas just after the ice is out and the water begins to warm up. You will find that these crappie will often times go into "feeding frenzys" after a long Winter.

During the Summer months, you will find crappie in open areas of water, small inlets in lakes and streams and also near submerged trees and under docks.

Fishing the proper depth is very important. The best opportunity for your "offering" to trigger a strike is when it floats at or just above the crappie's eye level. Your floats attitude or position (as it is sometimes called) should be vertical, indicating a drag free presentation. If your bait is dragging or touching the bottom your float will be tipped sideways. For instance: in 15 feet of water, start off fishing with your bait in 5 feet of water. If you have had no action in 5 to 10 minutes, change the depth of your bait a foot or two at a time until you locate where the crappie are biting.

The "Crappie Stalker" Float comes in 3 different sizes so you can choose the right float for the job. A crappie's bite is "very slight" so it is important to use the proper sized float so even the slightest bite can be seen!!!

Always use the best quality bait and make an extra effort to keep your bait cool and fresh. Re-bait often; crappie like fresh bait that is "alive and moving." If you are using crappie jigs instead of live bait, always keep your jig moving or "twiching" slightly. Crappie will most times, just mouth an "offering" that isn't moving.

Crappie are a highly prized sport fish and fishing areas are often crowded with many other fishermen. When arriving at a popular area, see what the rest of the anglers are doing. How deep are they fishing? Where are they casting? How are they keeping their lines apart?

Using the "Crappie Stalker" Float, these tips will help you present your offering to the crappie more effectively and...of course enjoy a much better day of fishing!!!
