been fishin bass most of my life... just started to crappie fish seriously lately. my question.... when a weather change is coming, how does the drop in barometric pressure affect the crappie? do the go shallow, deep, no effect? thanks in advance for your help

100%BASS

All of the above! LOL!

Everyone has a different take on it.

BTW, you should change your sig from 100% Bass to 75% Bass/ 25% Crappie now.

Won't be long sig will be 100% crappie and still asking the same question

We have barometric pressure threads here often. This one is pretty good.

Welcome to the crappie side, 100%. I made the same change myself.

A general TFF tip for new folks: never name yourself after a brand of boat or species of fish. That usually makes you buy a different boat or change species of fish.

Crappie, bream and bass are all in the same family.
So they pretty much all react the same to high pressure and pressure change, negatively.

Crappie may be a little more structure oriented than bass most of the year and they congregate more together, but still similar. In Winter crappie move with the shad to deeper water or creeks and are less structure oriented.

Slow down, lighter tackle, more in one area.
If you are not getting bit, move.
We're glad you are coming over from the dark side.
Welcome! & Good fishing!
