Good thread, good info. If you slow down to less than .5 mph and are using heavier jigs well to me that sounds more like tight lining. Both are great technics just not sure where the dividing line is between the two.

tightlining is a vertical very controlled presentation, longlining is away from the boat, not near as precise, and in my opinion faster presentaion, .6 is about as slow as i fool with other than at times killing the motor to let the bait flutter down to some deeper fish i saw on the screen, 1 to 1.2 for scattered fish is where it really shines

Yes, not early at all. I fished today, I started out jigging, I was getting mostly small fish; I went to longlining and almost 100% of the fish were over 11 inches. Caught a lot less fish but they were the ones that I was looking for. I set my lines to about a good cast behind the boat, set my speed at .8 mph and drank coffee and caught my limit of fish. The big ones were up near the top, so I used 1/16 and 1/32 oz heads. You have to experiment and find what works. Crappie are moody, like some women; what works today may not work tomorrow.

Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up.
