Nolan headed to Minnesota to crappie fish with FishUSA Pro Staffer and owner of Roach's Guide Service, Tony Roach. Tony showed us how he likes to target big crappies using a unique and very fun technique - casting jerkbaits.
These pre-spawn crappies were keyed in on young of-the-year perch, minnows, and bugs near the surface, making a jerkbait an excellent option for catching their eye and making them commit.
Tony was using his Lowrance Navionics mapping to keep the boat positioned on a main lake point with emerging cabbage vegetation. His Lowrance Active Target allowed him to pick out the greatest concentration and better quality fish.
We want to thank @Wired2Fish for filming this piece for us!
