I致e got a 10 year old who thank goodness has really taken a liking to fishing. We bank fish when we can but I知 trying to get him out on the water as well. He just helped me refurbish my granddad's 1960s?/1970s? ElDorado 12' jon boat. Right now all I have is a trolling motor and we'd really like to take it out and catch some crappie. I知 not real familiar with decent spots in central Arkansas for that size boat/trolling motor. Obviously we would like to catch a nice mess but I知 more concerned about having fun with him and staying safe since we do not have a motor.

Any suggestions for our type of setup?
