I was with him last Friday. We put in at Gold Landing and went west, under the RR bridge, fished up the creek, then under the footbridge. We fished tubes and jigs about 12-18" under a bobber, around laydowns and stumps. We threw crappie spins and roadrunners (crappie thunders). We didn't try any minnows.

I guess it's pretty pathetic when you can't catch crappie. We're just fishing catch and release for fun and may keep 5-6 for eating.

Because of this tournament, this may not be the best time for people to be giving up their secret techniques for finding crappie, but we really need some hand holding here.
