    Question Newbie to Crappie (Fishing). (Lake Blackshear area)


    I am new to crappie fishing. I have been fishing lake blackshear since the beginning of the year. I have been bass, crappie, bream fishing this whole time and I go at a minimum of once a month but most months more. I have had only caught two crappie when I was fishing for bass on a spinner bait. I have not caught any bass period. I have caught plenty of bream no problem. I have plenty of bass fishing gear and some crappie fishing gear. I have done a lot of reading and video watch but just can not figure it out. I really have no clue what I am doing. Is there anyone in the area that can or would be willing to go out with me some time to show me the ropes. I would be willing to go on there boat or we can go on my boat. I have have a 17ft G3 Eagle 170 aluminum boat with a 90hp engine. I have a Elite 9 ti at the console and a hook2 7inch at the front hooked into my Xi5 trolling motor with gps anchor. So I have the gear/tools, just not the know how. I am a catch a release fisherman so I am not looking to rob the lake of fish. I do it to relax and it has been relaxing but would like to catch some fish more so than not and there have been a lot of not catching fish. If anyone would be willing to show me to ropes, please let me know.

    There are lots of guys on CDC who fish Blackshear. I suggest posting your request on the Georgia board:
