Yes the dark tanic acid stained water is very common. How are you wanting to fish? Bank, boat, trolling or single poling? Black/chartreuse, purple/chartreuse, white/firetail and bubblegum/chartreuse are good starters for colors. 1/16, 1/8 and 1/32 are good weight jighesds to use as well as roadrunners. Watch the Florida board for slabfests and come fish or even ask to bum a ride. Can learn plenty at them and meet some folks too. Also come to any Florida Crappie Club tournies and fish or see weigh in and talk with folks. And post questions here or the Florida board. But specific lake or river questions will be better answered on the Florida board.
