not the most experienced crappie fisherman in the world but I sure do love doing it. My question is what are the crappie doing in the summer and what is the best way to fish them. All of the ponds I fish don't have docks an are pretty much structure free on the surface. Bu they have lots of crappie in them. Everything Ive read says fish structure and docks and this does not apply to me What else can I do? The pond I fish are around 15 ft deep
