You ever hook up with Smitty?
I am going to try it again this Friday.
Questions I have that you guys can help me out with.
#1. Do I "NEED" to have Minnows and tip my Jigs with them?
#2. Should I mix up the menu a bit and have some rods with JUST minnows and Some Rods with JUST Jigs and some Rods with Jigs tipped with Minnows?
#3. I plan on going out alone this time, should I only use 4 Rods or should I put all 8 out?
#4. When you find a School of fish on your sonar unit, do you still have your rods at different depths or do you start off with all rods at "that" depth? The way I was doing it on Sunday was I would make my pass for the iPilot to record and during that pass I would see schools of fish at 15 FOW so when I started my recorded pass I would have my rods set at 15'.
Thanks a bunch guys, hopefully this Friday will give me better results than Sunday.

No, I've sent him a couple of PM's. Haven't gotten any replies. He probably doesn't want to go guiding over the holidays.
He hasn't been posting any lately. I,ve seen him on facebook..... I'll try to get him for ya...
PMed him
After Reading this little article... Crappie Corner - Channel Bends for Winter Crappie
I think I'll focus on Bends of the Channels and have 4 rods with each rod holding a different size, type and color bait.
Try setting a couple of your rods at depth then a couple at about a foot shallower and a couple more a foot or so shallower than that. Let the fish tell you how deep to fish. I always tip my jigs with a minnow specially this time of year. Good luck and be safe.
