Thanks ship. What size hook do you use ? Size line? I'm guessing on a light action rod

six pound line. 1/16th jig with #4 hook or 1/8th with #2 hook if waves are really active. Light action rods.

I take two poles with me,one for slip floating the minnows, which i hook from the throat up through the nose,and one with a fixed float with a jig. Lately the males have been in the local creeks waiting on the females. Use the slip float for wary crappie and use the jig setup for the more aggressive fish using a semi slow retrieve with a little wrist action to get them to notice it . Sometimes a slow roll with the jig will work. Oh by the way they have been biting best right at dark.
