Bait fishing: article 84
crappie are one of the most plentiful gamefish that are stocked in all the lower 48 states and they go by many aliases such as calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappie, strawberry bass, and papermouths. The name paper mouth is very fitting for the crappie. This nick name is very fitting of a crappie that is caught while bait fishing because there mouths are paper thin and the hook can pull out very easy so you need to be very careful to not over do it when you set the hook. This fact alone makes it very difficult to land a large calico bass.

Both White and black crappie white perch look very similar but there are a few different identification marks. Both white crappie and black crappie have dark – olive or golden or brownish backs. The white calico bass look much lighter then the black speckled perch when caught while bait fishing. During the spawn it is hard to tell male white and black speckled bass apart because the male whit crappie will darken like the black crappie during the spawning period.

One easy way to tell the white white perch from the black crappie is by counting the number of spines located at the dorsal fin. White white perch will have 5 to 7 spines, while the black pole crappie will have 7 to 8 spines. The white speckled bass will have a have a shorter distance between the dorsal fin first spine to a point between the eyes, then the black white perch. The white speckled perch takes a more “s” or
hump shape then the black white perch where the back rises from the head. The black strawberry bass has a more round shape.

Both white crappie and black papermouth, are built for speed and maneuverability. They move in cover very easily because of their thin bodies. In cover you catch crappies while bait fishing fairly easy if you use the right crappie baits. The white pole crappie and the black speckled perch are not the only speices of crappie. For years white and black papermouth have been cross breeding to make a very stable hybrid calico bass population. Also many hybrids have been raised in captivity for stocking. They have
been stocked in new habitat locations throughout the Untied States to create new pole crappie habitat areas.
