Thanks for posting about this subject. I'm new to crappie fishing and have more time to read about it then I do to actually get out there and try. I took my boys (ages 5 & 3) this past Saturday to the Rez and we tried pulling cranks with what little equipment I have. We were on the water for only a couple hours before it started getting dark on us. We caught one little white crappie in the first 10 minutes and then only one catfish the rest of the trip. Both were caught on the pink Bandit. No idea how deep though, ha. Had a blast though. Any tips are welcomed and appreciated.
