Please offer your suggestions for the best way to fish clear, infertile waters with limited crappie populations. I have tried and enjoyed pulling cranks with F115 and 200 bandits;however, this time of year I'm trying to become a better long liner. I try long lining with 1/16 oz. rr above and 1/32 oz. below, both usually with bobby garlands and tipped with minnows. As many of you old salts say, nothing but time on the water will help me master this. So far, limited success. My buddy in North La. (D'arbone) says all I need is to spider rig with nothing more than a split shot above. When I try this, invariably, the wind doesn't cooperate and my lines don't hang vertically. Is it acceptable to run and egg sinker above a swivel and below a piece of fluorocarbon and jig to combat the wind? I like the idea of long lining because it seems that it has advantages in windy situations, thus I'm trying to learn it. What I'd really like to know is how would you guys fish the infertile, clear, limited crappie population lakes in south ms? Yes, I realize the panel on here is dominated by ya'll that fish central or North Ms, but I'd still appreciate your input on best approaches in these lakes down south. Thanks for any input. Frustrated, but too hard headed to quit.
