Open Water Crappie: We've Been Catching "Roamers" for Years

Everybody seems to be talking about "roaming crappie" these days, but suspended open-water crappie are nothing new. Long before forward-facing sonar became popular, crankbait trollers and long-line anglers were targeting these fish out over open water. In this video, I share my thoughts on the current "roamer" craze and explain why these fish have been a part of crappie fishing for years. I'll also discuss how these suspended crappie behave, why they leave traditional structure, and some of the methods anglers have used to catch them long before modern electronics changed the game. 🎣 I was catching roamers before catching roamers was cool! Whether you're a Livescope angler, crankbait troller, long-line fisherman, or just someone trying to understand open-water crappie behavior, I hope you enjoy the discussion.
