Welcome to Crappie.com. The easiest way to get a leg up since you are starting from scratch is to hire a guide. Pick the lake you are going to fish the most so you can learn crappie fishing and the lake you are going to fish. Paid the guide for a whole day of fishing and you can ask questions for about 8 hours. He will show you all the different jigs, heads and lures. He will show you how to troll and talk about other methods or try them if you want. This is really money well spent. If you are going to fish Oconee a very good guide is Jody and his guide service is called Crappie Daze at Home. Good luck with your crappie fishing.

Solid advice from Slabby. Look up Richard Gene on youtube. Lots to learn, enjoy the journey!

Then you've had good training. Read this:

Crappie NOW - November 2017

This time of the year is tough unless you can find fish on brush or docks. It's a "summer pattern" now until the weather starts to cool some.
