What types of crappie fishing trips are common?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for crappie as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and live bait fishing but jigging and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much does a crappie fishing trip cost?

Prices for crappie can range anywhere from about $400 to $1,400, but the average price for a half day trip for crappie is $689. The average price for a full day trip for crappie is $939.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for crappie fishing?

The most popular season for crappie fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 22 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license for crappie and what are the bag limits for crappie?
