Crappies - Minnow VS waxies

[LOWinEYEin]

For crappies-

Minnows- don't have to worry about the lil sunfish.

Waxies- The sunfish attack'em

Arificial- have'nt used much

[Azenmstr]

I ALWAYS have minnows when crappie fishing. I do however try and have some waxies with me too. There are times when they will turn a couple extra fish.

A ZEN MASTER

I don't buy no stinkin bait. Just a snuff can full of waxies. The sunnies usually slow down after dark anyway.

Best take minnows, waxies and artificials. Let the fish dictate what the bite will be best on.

Always have been a minnow guy, but this new BIo Bait may change that somewhat, I have been impressed so far and look forward to testing it out some more.

Dont forget the eurolarvae, I prefer them for crappies over wax worms. But minnows are still tough to beat.

Normally minnows early waxies later. Has to do fishs' appitite. They slow down as winter progresses so you offer smaller meals.
Actually a better answer would be: That's why they call it "fishing".

[blue_healer_guy]

my theory has always been, minnows when they are active, waxies when they are not.

Two "Power Wigglers" still connected has been the my most prolific presentation over the past few winters.

Love them 'Pout!

Never really use waxies/grubs. Minnows or parts there of have always turned even some very finicky biters for me. I've caught fish on bare hooks with just a tail section attached. The key is the ability to see em and work something into making them bite and there's nothing like working a "crappie" minnow and seeing that big mark come up to eat it.

I usually have a waxie on one rod and a small minnow on the other, both hooked on small glo jigs. If I am marking fish on the locator but not getting any bites, I put down my secret weapon...a plain hook and minnow. If that doesn't work I move!
