Fishing style north and south?
I see most on here are from the southern states, I'm wonder how much difference there is in the fishing styles. I am fishing in northern Wisconsin and mainly fish crappie only in the spring. Probably because that is the only time I can catch them with any consistency. My rule of thumb up here is when the Popple fuzz is flying in the air and the Lilac's are in bloom that is the time to get out and hit the slab's. Most lakes up here are deep clear lakes but early I hit the darker water flowage's first because they warm up faster. I have found the Crappies to be very finicky at times so I have my best luck using 4 Lb. test Vanish fluorocarbon line with a Thill shy bite bb2 bobber (I almost consider this as a ice fishing bobber because a 1/32 oz jig with the grub will take it under) and for the bait a pink headed 1/64 oz jig with the Cubbies mini mite plastic grub also pink. I catch a lot of crappie while others get skunked, and I out fish a live minnow 2 to 1. What is the normal rigging for you guys down south?
