Deep Water Crappies (Tips & Guidelines)

Isolating and catching deepwater crappies in the basin isn't terribly difficult - they stick out like a sore thumb on your electronics and where you find one, there's usually more. If you're chasing panfish in 25+ feet of water, barotrauma and delayed mortality become serious considerations. It's safe to expect that fish caught within this depth range are doomed for death, no matter how slowly you reel them up. Lay off the school once you have enough for the pan

If you do desire to get a fish go in deep water like this is to either weight them of fizz them two techniques used in bass fishing down south for a smaller fish like a crappie weighting would be more practical ik for bass I use 4-6 oz duck decoy weights and u put that right in their mouth, it will take the fish down the the water level that is is comfortable after a while that fish will either spit out the weight on its own or u will jerk the weight around and it will let go saves me a lot of bass in the heat of summer

I've been telling people this for years. I think that this issue should be pushed. Just cause your fish swims away in the hole doesn't mean its gonna survive. Your are actually killing fish. You may aswell keep' em and find fish in shallower water to release. 25 feet or less. 25 feet seems to be the magic number from my experience. Great video. let's see more about - the bends---

Nice video. The fish baratrauma ethics are appreciated. The size limit on crappie in my state is 9-. Unfortunately the many small crappie sometimes caught deep water perch fishing (perch hang about 35 FOW in the lake I ice fish) have to go back. No way to control it when they-re mixed with the perch that have no size limit.

Late comment I know.
I'm all for ethical angling and agree most of the fish caught from deep water do not seem ok. That being said, many fish, including perch, bass, trout, whitefish, walleye, etc, will occasionally chase my bait out of 30+ ft of water to just under the ice in a matter of seconds.

Thank you for speaking on responsible catch and release. Being a mostly C&R fisherman myself, I-m glad to see you harvesting only what you need, and doing the right thing and leaving, despite that flasher showing a hole stuffed with fish.

This doesn't apply to fishes without swim bladders (e. g. Sharks) or fishes with physostomous gas bladders like the trouts. So lake trout for instance would be just fine to release from 40 feet down

Question, I've had some basin crappie chase way up into the water column. How to they regulate their own swim bladder in these situations where they swim themselves from deep to shallow?
reply

Great video. I've been lucky enough to find basin crappie suspended 18-20'. But i do catch perch - between 15&40'. The deep caught ones go home. The shallow ones go back.

Bleed your fish out immediately! That would be a helpful thing to add so viewers know how to have those delicious fish (all fish) taste even better

They dont die, they swim back down where the pressure is, if you think all fish die from pulln them from 40ft yer crazy.
