I've been spider rigging this year for the first time, I'm using Capps & Coleman rigs and am catching more crappie than I ever have. 51 last weekend fishing over strucuture in 12'-20' of water, water temp up to 87. I catch most my crappie with the bottom bait, be it a jig or minnow, not sure I'd have as much luck with a sinker hanging from the bottom. I just slowly move back and forth and around the structure I'm fishing.
