I have never been an avid crappie fisherman, but id like to get into it more.
what tips do you have for some one who is just beginning.
also i've never thought about going out fishing this early in the year, but reading on here it seems that a lot of people go out as long as the lake isn't frozen. how do you catch fish this early in the year?
my specific lake would be Mozingo in Maryville. when is the earliest i can expect to have some luck? and what should i do to catch fish? (bait, depth, part of the lake?)

sorry for such a beginner question but im not a very experienced angler yet
