I have been fishing most of my life thanks to a Grandfather who got me started as a boy.
I grew up on worms and bobbers and I grew to like fishing for crappie on Ross Lake in Michigan.
I would buy as many crappie minnows as I could afford and fish them under pencil bobbers around
stumps. I would cast into the wind and let the wind or the current push the bobber towards a stump.
Sure enough caught a bunch of crappie that way. :-)

I have been bass fishing for years now in Georgia on some nice smaller lakes and ponds all under
200 acres and seldom deeper than 30 feet or so. Just recently, I have felt the call to spend some
time chasing crappie around my home lake and a google search brought me here.

I look forward to learning the latest methods but I will probably start by finding some place close
by that sells crappie minnows and drop them under some old balsa wood pencil bobbers like I used
to do as a boy and drag them by some Christmas trees on some deep points and watch them bobbers
head down. :-)
