This thread interests me. It shows there are many varied and different approaches to fishing for the great white crappie (black also). From the techies to the "don't bother me, I'm fish'n" folk (as they doze off). Some people enjoy the challenge of tournaments or hitting limits. As for me, I have never found it necessary to compete against anyone in anything. I tried playing team sports as a younger fellow, when it was not fun, I lost interest. For me fishing is the same, I fish to enjoy what God has given us. the beauty of his work, the thrill of achieving a goal of my own making. My greatest opponent is myself. Although those crappie creatures are always a challenge! Reading the post here from folks like Ketchn, Slab, and others, is a great blessing to which I give thanks for. So be it LS, DV, SV, or no view fish on my friends and please keep me in your prayers and enjoy your time on the water.
P.S. Ketchn if ya need new polish maybe we can start a Go fund me page!
