You'd be shocked how many crappie get away from fisherman all over the country after the fish have been hooked. I'm willing to bet it happens to you at least a few times every time you go fishing (and some of these subtle bites you never even knew you had). Here are our surefire crappie fishing tips to limit your crappie "getaways"

TIP#1 Match your line color to the water your are fishing in. As a rule of thumb the cleaner the water is the more you need to disguise your line.

TIP#2 Do not try to jerk your crappie into the boat once it is hooked! You would be surprised how many crappie fisherman make this mistake. This is one of the top crappie fishing tips you need to do so you don't loose crappies once they are hooked. Wait a few seconds before you set the hook, crappie like to swim with there prey in there mouth before they swallow it. After you set hook you need to tire the crappie out before you bring him the boat. Just remember to never pull real hard when you hook a crappie.

TIP#3 I always use a net when I am bringing crappie into the boat. If you get a big slab on your line you could rip the hook right out of his tender lips just by pulling the fish into the boat without a net.

TIP#4 Use a rod with a lot of action. Set the drag so that you can give a little line before you rip the fish's mouth off. If all you get is are fish lips, you might have your drag set too tight. Just loosen it up.

TIP#5 I Can't emphasize enough, you need to wear your hooked crappie out before you bring it in the boat. This is one of the top crappie fishing tips you will ever learn. If you set your drag very light you will have to fight your fish for a while. You should be able to wear him out in a few minutes with your drag set very light. It is basically a give and take approach. Once your fish is worn out is very easy to get him in your net.
