Hey guys I went out last night to,try my hand at crappie fishing first time I ever went. I tried some of the tips and tricks you guys sugested. Some worked others did not. But the important thing is I found out what works for me. I really didn't catch much because I was trying out different setups and rigging. Here are some,pics of what I got.... I'm so addicted to crappie fishing now Thanks for,the great tips

So what setup worked for you?

I live in Emporia Kansas first off,if that gives you and idea of what the fishin is like for me. My setup is just a black and chartreuse tube with and red and chartreuse tube double jig setup with a slip bobber and about 2 to 2.5 feet of,line under the bobber. Oh and niblets I don't know if it was just that day but if I didn't put a nibblet on the hook no action. Oh and I'm,just fishin out of a 10 foot Jon boat. With a 30 lb thrust mini kota troler

Riggin n tips are great but the number one thing is to learn crappie habits and where they are located at the particular time of year you are fishing. That will put you on more fish than anything. Congrats n good luck!

Ok so It is spring and all right now and the water is nice and warm s on I'm fishing the shallows later in the day during meal time the fish. Is that bad or what? I know during spawn that they get up in the shallows and what not. They also like brush fallen trees and around docks and stuff. What else should I know about them?
