I'll be fishing the St. Johns south of Astor and Lake Dexter. How slow do u troll for crappie and what do you use? Thanks

Way too much traffic on the st. johns go across dexter through tick creek and hit woodruff. very large specks being caught in it trolling . try tipping jigs white,chartruse or green with small minnows.

Ok, so if I go to lake Woodruff and troll should I start in the open water or troll along the shore? Should I put any weight on the line to take the jig down or just pull the jig? How heavy of a jig would you use to start out? One more question, do you guys ever use planer boards to get the lines out away from the boat? Thanks alot JC

RIGHT OUT FROM TICK CREEK THERES ALOT OF THEM LITTLE PADS WITH THE STRINGY ROOT(HATE THEM THINGS) BUT ONCE YOU GET OUT ALITTLE THERE GONE. ANYWAY I START IN THE MIDDLE AND WORK MY WAY TO THE EDGE WHERE I CAN ( HAD REALLY GOOD CATCHES TO THE LEFT). i LIKE TO TIGHTLINE UP FRONT AND TROLL IN BACK WHICH EVER WORKS THATS WHAT I USE. ALSO TICK CREEK IS A VERY GOOD PLACE TO LOOK FOR BIG ONES.
