I've vertical jigged and "tight line" fished. From the boat vertical jigging is great if you have electronics. But from the bank, no bobber and casting a small jig and steady retrieve I've never had any luck. I'm not good at the count down to the depth and it always seems the crappie are wanting something real still and barely moving. So I do a "float and fly". Jig under a slip bobber probing different depths. Pull it a little, let it pause, repeat. But the experts here always say ditch the bobber. I dont get it.
