Lot of the guides pull planer boards. I fish the wolf river arm in march and it usually has excellent watercolor in March. Several different methods work. A lot of people are using livescope to catch there crappie. I like to spider rig usually with 2 people up front. I use sixteen foot poles double rigged with minnows. This time of year the fish are usually suspended 12-18 feet in about 25 feet of water chasing schools of shad. usually don't fish to close to the bank as most of the fish that time of year are a little deeper.
