Cast and retrieve is also my favorite. I have become very efficient in vertical deep water jiging also. The thing about vertical jiging is it's hard to complain about 150 fish a day. Obviously I don't keep that many. The down side of deep crappie is that you have to learn how to deflate their air bladder or you just wind up killing a lot of fish. I have found that it helps the fish survival rate to bring them up slower.

You two two give an awful lot of good advice and I enjoy reading your post.
