Ginny, they seem to work much better on White crappie because the school more and out in open water. It is a great technique for finding fish.

We troll for crappie out in open water but the lakes are shallow.... 8-10 feet usually. I'm wondering if we already troll for them and do pretty good, wouldn't it work for just getting the lines out farther from the boat with a planer while trolling? Keep the lines farther apart and cover more area?

Thats what I was wondering. Gotta be a good thing to cover more area. Going to give a try when we get out of Virginia and get back to our boat.

Thanks
