Thanks to Everyone one sharing info

I have not made many posts here but have been reading this forum for a couple of years now on a regular basis. I've live in Fl for over thirty years and I have always wanted to learn to crappie fish but I never had the opportunity to fish with someone who knew how to crappie fish. A couple of years ago I decided to do my own research and learn on my own do be a consistent successful crappie angler. Crappie.com has been a wonderful treasure trove of information. I've been getting better over time catching fish but still felt like a newbee. Last week I bought an old pontoon boat and spent all my time rigging it with lighting, rod holders and sonar. Most of what I learned came from reading posts here at crappie.com. I had a 3 day weekend off form work and was itching to try out my new toy . I decided to try Lake Arbuckle, a lake I have bass fished a few times but never thought of it as a good crappie fishery until recently from reading on the internet. I have tried night fishing a few times recently in a job boat that I rigged up but was limited in what I could do with it. I went all out with led lights on the pontoon boat and night fishing was my main focus. I caught over over 150 crappie over the weekend about 1/2 of them were fat slabs. The first night I fished until morning and notice the bite started slowing down at dawn. Once I had a little daylight I started trolling. I only caught a couple that way in 2 hours so I decided to head back to camp. I talked with a guy that am who trolls the lake on a regular basis and he said he didn't catch any that am trolling. He said he caught sixty over 2 days in October. I have not had much success trolling so far . I'm planning to stay at the camp ground on lake Monroe over Christmas and I hope to figure out this trolling stuff so I can sleep at night and fish in the daylight. Hopefully I'll meet some crappie.com folks on this trip. Here's a couple of photos of one nights catch. Thanks to everyone for sharing on this forum, that's how I have been learning.
