The main thing that is always on a crappie fisherman's mind everytime he goes fishing is where to fish . Example do I fish shallow or deep water, points or ledges, on flats or in bushtops, coves or creek runs. We never know where the fish may be so we are always planning where to look for crappie. Although we have fish sonar to help with this we still need a game plan on where to start looking or we waste a lot of time looking.
