Crappie fishing tips from pro anglers
Updated Feb 17, 2021;
Crappie USA visited Lake Harding, an impoundment on the Georgia border north of Phenix City, last weekend. As usual the pro anglers came away with some impressive catches. While the crappie circuits don’t draw nearly the public acclaim of major bass tournaments, the success of the expert anglers who fish them can be very useful to weekend anglers in search of a fish fry.
The top spot in the event went to South Carolina anglers Matthew Williams and Nick Dowda, with a seven-fish bag that went 10.54 pounds. According to Williams, the anglers located suspended fish at 10 feet and deeper, hanging over a creek channel where depth was 30 to 40 feet.
