It is difficult to describe how much higher Crappie Wisdom (as well as the other In-Fisherman titles) stands compared to other fishing books I've read. The practical, scientific approach to angling presented here cannot help but make a better fisherman of anyone who reads it. A "thinking man's" sports book.

"Crappie Wisdom" is a good book, don't get me wrong. I just thought I'd leave a review to make other buyers aware of something I wasn't aware of. InFisherman has another crappie fishing book called "Slab Secrets". I just wanted to make everyone aware that it is the SAME book as "Crappie Wisdom" as far as material and chapter coverage goes. "Crappie Wisdom" has more pictures of people holding up fish but reading material wise they are the same. If you do not have either book I recommend one or the other...great reading material in there that covers a lot of the basics and other useful info.

Not to be mistaken for Crappy Wisdom, this is an instructional book for catching the small but frisky panfish known as the crappie. This is the first fish I ever caught, on the docks at Clinton Marina with my Uncle Mike. I was just finishing up an essay on him last year so I thought I'd read this to spark the ol' creative juices. But I'm also fishing more again these days, so I went back to the book to glean the wisdom contained therein.

The book itself was written in the late '80s and doesn't seem to have been updated since then; lord knows the pictures haven't. Or maybe these fishermen just haven't changed their clothes since then - perhaps that's what makes them part of the "In-Fisherman" crowd. Anyway, the information on locating crappies (the most important and difficult part of crappie fishing) is sound, reinforcing what I already knew while giving me some new insights into deep-water crappies for the days in the future when maybe I'll have a boat.

Crappie Wisdom is a good for beginers and old timers. You learn the basics and a lot more. It will teach how to catch crappie and put them on the table ready to eat. How to and illustrations on just about everything you need to know to be a successful crappie catcher. The contributors are well known and experts.

This book by In-fishermen is a classic like all others. They give detailed information and new secrets to catching more fish. If you are a crappie fanatic buy this book!

If it says IN Fisherman on it, Buy it! They produce some of the best books and videos on freshwater fishing. Period! Full of current, scientific, and practical advice on the species you are after. If you don't learn from this book, then you probably helped write it.
