Drag the portable shanty out of the garage, load that, an ice auger, a bucket of minnows, a heater, a bucket of ice rods, a vexilar and a thermos of coffee in the truck, drive to the lake of choice, load all the gear into the shanty and drag it 1/2 mile to the fishing spot, drill lots of hole till I find the perfect spot, get everything set up for the 2-3 hour window at dusk when the crappie bite best. Reverse the order 3 hours later.

Oh, I use a lively emerald shiner on a # 10 treble under a slip bobber or a jigging rapala tipped with a minnow head
