Hello, I'm looking to get into Crappie fishing. i would like to try to anywhere, but i really would like to try on Big Bone Creek, which is a tributary to the Ohio River in Boone Co, KY. I would like help on different rigs and techniques, Minnows or Jigs. Like I said, Im a trout and Striped Bass fisherman. I'm just wanting to try different things. Thanks

Welcome!! As for info on the specific area you mentioned you might wanna try the ohio state board for more specific info. As far as technique, just about all of them are discussed on this site. I would use the search engine at the top of the page and search for 'spider rigging' if you have a boat. If not no biggie just get a cork and some minnows and fish from the bank. Just watch and listen on this site. Its full of helpful information.

I have not fished Gun Powder in about 3 years. If you put in at Trickes Marine and run up the creek you should be able to pick up a few. This time of the year I would fish with minnows around wood.

Welcome from Alabama. My favorite technique is using a slip float. You can easily change depths and also lure colors. Here is me setup.

Thank for the help. I just want to make sure I get the right gear. It seems like I've been missing out by not crappie fishing.
