I just read a post by Grainraiser about bass fishermen and how fast they move. I don't fish for bass but am extremely impatient with my crappie fishing. I am new, second year targeting crappie, and pretty much stick to minnows under a float. When I pull up to a tree or brush I make a cast. If nothing hits in say 30 seconds, I will cast to the other side. I do this three or four times and move on. Lots of times when I move I go over the area I was fishing and see fish on the fish finder. Moving too fast? How long do you sit? By the way when you see fish, at lets say eight feet, how deep do you fish. Crappie feed up right? How close do you try to get? Thanks will appreciate all answers and criticisms.
