Hey RFD2630, welcome!
One little deal I like to do is set up a bunch of tube jigs at home. After you put the tube on the jig, put a drop of crazy glue where the jig head meets the tube. It stops the tubes from sliding down the jig.
Don't get any glue on your fingers. LOL.

RFD, welcome to the site, and since your new I'll explain something you'll find out is obvious once you have been here for a while. We get asked that question about 3-5 times a week, and the regulars here are all great guys, but get tired of explaining the basics that often.
If you want to learn about crappie fishing and you have more specific questions, your going to get a ton of help. The other thing to do is search the forums. The archives here are HUGE, and since we have answered your question so many times there is a ton of info on how to get started all the way down the line to grizzled expert advice, so just look around and your gonna learn more than you bargained for. I doubt there is a subject about crappie fishing that we haven't covered several times here.
That being said, don't be afraid to ask questions, just narrow them down a bit. I've been crappie fishing for nearly 40 yrs, and I ask questions all the time. The learning never stops.
You may want to stop my the state forums for your area or where your going to fish. The local guys will help and those forums have a ton of info as well.
Pretty soon we are gonna have to start calling this site the Crappie Fishing University and give out diplomas.
Good things come to those who bait.
Welcome to the site RFD2630. Let us know how you do with your crappie fishing. Post some pics. I'd offer some crappie advice but looks like you have plenty now, besides I'm more into the bream, and my advice would be crappie, not bream.
