The best advice I can give a new crappie fisherman, hire a guide , I could go on in great length and detail on all the techniques but you would understand more and remember if you go with a guide or find a crappie.com'r near you. Most of us on the site would be willing to take a novice out and share all we know.
Whether you hire a guide or go with a crappie.com'r. Ask lots of questions look at the sonar so you will know what you are looking for . Different conditions will dictate the presentation. I love pulling/ pushing cranks. I hate minnows but I have learned to spider rig with minnows early to improve my catch. Dipping , jigging, shooting docks and many other styles. Master one move to the next. If you already know one style tell your guide I want to learn how to ? And as others have said start a library on crappie fishing read , watch videos etc.
You don't need all the latest and greatest gear just the basics Some days that's all they want . Good luck and good fishing. Gobob out
