I know that Black lake here in Olympia has a good population of Crappie. I've even seen guys with a nice cooler of fish. I have tried several times to fish for them and have always got skunked. I can catch trout on this lake, but the crappie and perch have eluded me to the point of embarrassment. Most to the issue is, I have no experience fishing crappie. Been watching YouTube, and I have the gear I think I need, what I don't have is the experience. Soooooo... is there anyone in the area that can show me the basics? I am pretty much open as to time and days. Not looking for secret honey hole, just some good ol fashioned "How To".
Thanks. Please PM me.

I can't show you any spots (I'm a bit away from there) but crappie love wood...docks, fallen trees, limb piles. Rock piles are good place to check too. I'm no expert but those are the types of places I've found them with any consistency. They can be a weird fish though cause at times they'll school up away from any structure at all.
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep looking in all those places. I've been kinda targeting those already, but they either aren't there or they aren't interested in what I'm offering.
