I see you live on Lake Anna. I know it has ALLOT of boat docks! You ought to give shooting docks a try, it's very addictive and you don't need allot of new equipment. Find some of the deeper water docks, shot that jig in the darkest, shady spota, work the bait slowly out and wait for the "thump". You'll be hooked! A side image depth finder would help you find fish under the docks once you ve seen if you like this style fishing. Get a good medium light rod with a fast tip, spool it with 4lb test line as the water there is very clear, then tie on a 1/16 oz stinger type jig and your ready to go. It's a good idea to practice shooting jigs in your driveway into a bucket before you get to the lake. Never have heard of too many people in VA being very successful trolling cranks for crappie. Most lakes here have only black crappie, heard of better sucess in lakes with mainly white crappie in them. Not saying you can't catch some. Look at youtube for more dock shooting videos.
