I've pond fished for years and I have caught everything in my ponds on basic beetlespins.

My father in law and I recently got his old Tracker Boat back in service (after many years of sitting covered) and he has a trailer off of Pleasure Point on Lake Claiborne. He and I both have a love of fishing and we've caught many crappie in the ponds with nothing more than beetlespins.

However, I would like some tips, suggestions, and help getting into crappie fishing on lakes which I know aren't going to work with just beetlespins.

I'd love suggestions on equipment, tackle, and everything else that would help me and my father in law get it done.

I'm going to be out on Claiborne this Saturday morning and will gladly meet anyone fishing out on the water.

I don't want to infringe on honey-holes, just need some guidance both in the store and out on the water.

Thanks,

Jonathan Alexander
