1. Learn to read your electronics which will lead to learning what to look for.
2. Watch what other fishermen are doing. I have run across a few that are fussy. But, most want to share there knowledge (not their fishing hole).
3. I wished this was my saying so I will quote some one else from this web site; "Fish where they are. Not where they ain't."

Hey Searcybison....these guy's are right on, and if you'll pay close attention to what they've told you you'll catch plenty of fish....one of the great things about this site is you can learn more in a couple days here than in several years of fishing on your own. Best of luck to you in your quest to improve your fishing tecniques. And thanks for posting the tips guys.....just reading them helps me to remember the basics when the fishing is tough.
Nothing beats time on the water. Crappie can be so fickled ,stop and start with rhe smallest changes at times. If you put out condos ,don't put all your eggs in one basket. Other words put them in varous depths of water. And last get maps and study where the channels run or have someone who knows show you. Most lakes require special tricks for them to produce regular. A lake with deep water is completely different that shallow one. Water color is a thing to watch. Deep clear water can mean deep fish. Shallow colored water warms faster and they spend more time shallow. Water depth can be a relative term depending on the lake. We pass 8 to 10 ' and the fish are deep. Where deep in some waters means 40'.:D
Your right Nimrod, Here on this lake if I catch one 13 to 15 feet deep thats deep!
