    The more I fish, the more I believe that trolling motors spook the heck out of 'em. Blowing the wash from the trolling motor toward a school of crappie is a sure-fire way to shut the bite down, even...

    Well said! I've got nothing against those using livescope, but like you I've decided it's not for me.

    Ketchn's right on all counts. I would add though they're about the most expensive bait to catch crappie with. $5.99 or so for 18 means $0.33 each for a bait that never ever lasts for more than 1 fish.

    Maybe a little different, but I never EVER say a bad word about my 30+ year old outboard when I'm on the water.

    Don't count out floating docks. That's all there is on my home lake, and I catch a ton of fish under them.
