WELL, I'M FISHING FOR CRAPPIE IN A SMALL LAKE IN CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA(THE ONLY WAY MY WIFE COULD TALK ME INTO COMING HERE), LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I DO. I'LL PUT JEFFS FISHING TECHNICS TO THE TEST, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DONT HAVE A DEPTH FINDER. WISH ME LUCK.

iowa isnt that bad if you like a lot of farmland lol i know thats where i grew up but in waterloo area but in the country. thing you have to get used to is the clearer water and also smaller fish since there is no size or possesion limit there on crappie. best bet if you have a boat is use a t motor and troll with a mister twister twirl tail grub and fish the normal places you would here with jigs or minnows.
good luck

WELL SUNDAY WAS A HIT, NOT TOO MANY CRAPPIE, 3 AND THEY WERE ALL 7 INCHERS. BUT WE CAUGHT ALOT OF LMB, A WALLEYE, LOTS OF CATFISH AND BLUE GILL. THEN THE SANDIES CAME IN THE COVE WE WERE IN AND WE WERE CATCHING DOUBLES EVERY CAST. TOOK MY BROTHER IN LAW, HE HAS NOT FISHED BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES SO HE HAD A BLAST.

SUNDAY NIGHT A COLD FRONT CAME THRU. MONDAY WAS VERY SLOW, 1 CRAPPIE, SOME LMB, THEN HOME.

HAD FUN, IT WAS A BLAST.
