Welcome to the boards GrantH. People use various styles of fishing to catch crappie. Some dip trees with long poles and minnows/jigs. Other's spider rig or longline troll (do some searches and you'll find plenty of info about those styles), drifting using minnows, cork and jig throwing to the banks, and yes....even some fly fishing for crappies. Lots of people enjoy tying their own jigs and get a self satisfaction on catching fish using their own jigs. Some buy plastic curly tail grubs to put on jigheads. There are just sooooo many ways a person can fish and be successful in catching the papermouths. There's no set way that you HAVE TO use to catch 'em. There is bunches of information you can learn from these boards by doing alot of reading, searching, and asking questions...and then putting the info to use out on the lake. Enjoy the boards and welcome from GEORGIA.Thumbs Up
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
