Muddy water tactic for crappie

[Andy Evans]

I recently messed around a rapala inch and a half shallow running floater in the colors of green and yellow. I caught some nice crappie and bass with it in shallow muddy water. anyone else had any luck catching crappie in the shallows on a crank bait?

mostly use cranks in the spring and summer. trolling long line or slow trolling, catch a few crappie tossing the points for walley, pink, pink/black or black/silver

I have caught a few 14" slabs on spinnerbaits in shallow muddy water while fishing for bass .

Haven't tried it specifically in shallow, muddy stuff but it seems to make sense ... at least to me. Good idea.

never tried it but sounds like it would work to me. at this point its worth trying anything...lol
