Proper Gear for a Crappie-hunter?
I am brand new to crappie fishing, and could use some basic advice.
I have a pole and I have a reel plus a few bobbers. For a newbie such as myself with only a few bucks to spend, what are the absolute MUST HAVE's for a day at the lake?
For hooks, what size? For line, what weight? And for any plastic/fake bait - well, if you could attach a pic, that would be great! I am seeing words like crankbait and jig and spinners and I have no clue what any of that references!
As for the method itself - do you throw the line out and wait for the bob to get pulled or is this more the type of fishing where you are constantly throwing out the line and bringing it in and keeping things moving?
I am heading out tomorrow to see what the day brings, but any information to help me be better prepared would surely be appreciated!
