well i was able to break away and get to the lake--lake O saturday. the wind was pretty bad off the lake into the rim canal on the west side, which go figure is where i like to fish. Thanks to all the info i've been getting through crappie .com i tried for the first time to troll, and loved it. the conditions were a bit rough so it made it a little tricky to control the boat and watch the poles. I usually try something new for awhile and if it dosent work i go back to the one pole jig the lillies but i didnt this time. I stayed trolling just off the lillies about three feet off, and the first hit was great. It hit the white jig head with a red body, guess what, changed color to all the poles. I caught seven of the nicest crappie i can remember and missed about the same. Trolling does catch the bigger crappie. Ask a few boaters out how they were doing and they told me they just couldn't find them. Again guy's thanks for all the info!!!!!!
