I'm brand new to crappie fishing. Tomorrow morning pouring rain or shining sun I'm hitting keystone lake. I got 3 packs of bobby garland 2 inch baby shad in the mail today. Thousands of tube jigs and lots of other variety. I'm dropping my 2 catfish poles in the water, try my luck with striper pole. Which I also have never fished for. And then starting on the crappie. With all that nonsense said does anybody have any tips for a 36 year old man who has never even seen a crappie in person let alone fished for one. So they bite in the rain ? Any tips will be appreciated.
