I got more serious about crappie after moving to TN in ‘05 and got a bass boat in ‘09. Won my first tourney I entered with it by stumbling into some bamboo a gent that I later met had set next to some productive cedars. As I fished it later I noticed that if I lined up 2 light posts in the parking lot close by and ran straight toward them I would find the boo when I got to 14fow. After that I found other piles and stakebeds by looking for an odd landmark and “sniffing” around a little.
