Has anyone ever heard of/done this? I'm not sure of the legality of it either. I was cruising around the internet looking at different crappie catching techniques. One site I came across suggested that the first keeper you catch you should hook a line and bobber through the tail and throw it back. The length of line should be relative to the depth of the water.
The theory is that it will swim back to the school and be a visual reference to where the school is. Back away from the bobber and cast towards it to pick up other fish in the school.
Any thoughts? Is that even possible?
