What Makes One River Ledge Better Than Another River Ledge with Darrell Baker
According to Baker, “I don’t know that one river ledge is better than another river ledge, but I do know that the ledges with the most structure on them produce more crappie and often bigger crappie than the ledges that have less structure on them. You may catch a crappie that is just relating to the water depth change on a river ledge. However, I’ve found that most crappie on a river ledge will be holding close to the structure that’s on the ledge. I’m not fishing just the drop-offs. I’m fishing the brush piles, stump rows and natural wood that have been washed into and holding against the river ledge. The colder the water gets, the more concentrated – schooled up – the crappie will be holding on that structure.”
