What we do for the love of crappie fishing or shall I say crappie catching.....

There was a time where kite string, hook, bobber and a can pole brought stringers of slabs to the dining table but it seems those crappie have gotten so smart we need all the bells and whistles, latest and greatest electronics to find a few crappie and then they turn their nose up at our offerings........

Slowing down, finding structure in different depths, having an assortment of jig color combos along with different sizes and being willing to stay in contact with said jig giving pauses in whatever action you apply, fishing your jig at various depths and move to different areas and structure to locate active fish will load your cooler......
Sound fairly simple but there's just not many folks willing to apply the patience and persistence required to consistently catch crappie.....
SI is the best electronics to have to learn a body of water, find the structure you find the crappie......

All in my opinion of course.....

Patience and persistence are as big as having string on your reel right next to being willing to make changes....

If what you're doing is not working make some changes.....
