skiptomylu, Sommertime and trees,,,could it be better for crappies? I DON"T THINK SO!! I look for isolated trees first, any depth. Size of trees can make a difference. Look at the flats away from the chanel as shallow as springtime. I like 1/32oz jigheads tipped with minners. The minners can pull the jig around. That seems to get the crappies excited. Larger trees,,,fish all the way around them. The shallower you go, the more important to use longer poles. Keep the sun in your face as shadows will spook them. Mark your lines!!!! If you are in 7ft, mark your line at 6ft. Pitch the jig out and let it swing back to the stump/tree at 6ft. It will look like the minner is trying to get to the safty of the tree. Crappies are ambush feeders next to any cover. Hope this helps ya! <*)}}}><
You'll see the difference,,,on the end of your line! PROUD MEMBER OF TEAM GEEZER
