Bait fishing: article 84
crappies which go by peculiar names 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 pole crappie.

Both White and black crappie crappie 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 white perch look much lighter then the black pole crappie when caught while bait fishing. During the spawn it is hard to tell male white and black speckled perch apart because the male whit crappie will darken like the black crappie during the spawning period.

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

Both white speckled perch and black white perch, 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 pole crappie are not the only speices of crappie. For years white and black white perch have been cross breeding to make a very stable hybrid white perch 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 calico bass habitat areas.
