Thread: new guy saying hello

My name is Chris I am pretty new to crappie fishing except for through the ice. I mainly fish pool 13 on the Mississippi river because I have a camper near spring lake, I always used to catfish and certainly won't be giving catfishing up but want to try new things. Last year I kind of figured out how to fish wing dams for walleye and had a blast and caught some nice fish but I thought it was a lot of work just controlling the boat to do it a lot. I have a 16 foot sea ark mod v for a boat with a 30hp merc on it and a 55 pound power drive with co pilot so it can get a little uncomfortable for me when the wind whips up or big boats get flying around in the channel. I just bought a 10 foot guide series crappie rod and have a assortment of lead heads from 1/32 all the way up to 3/4 and some plastic grub/curly tails and small tubes but looking to expand on that and get a jig mold for smaller jigs, if anybody has recommendations of other good tackle to try i'm all ears. I also do a fair amount of duck and goose hunting and a lot of trapping which takes up most of my fall which is my favorite time to fish also. I hope to learn a lot on here and just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome!
