Not so new fisherman but new to Crappie slaying!
Okay so here it goes....
I am a avid fisherman that grew up fishing for redfish and specks on the Texas coast but die to me being in the military I have had the oppurtunity to see this beautiful country we live in. I am have had some successful crappie trips in my day but I have always gone with someone who knows what they're doing. I am asking for any advice on how to have successful trips when I go out on my own. I fish out of a kayak and currently live in Virginia so I have done a little research on lakes/rivers around me. I know structure and water temperature is extremely important and I am in the process of getting a fishfinder for my yak. If anyone has any advice on what to look for please let me know. Also I am fishing with two light spinning rods with 6lb test but have no idea what is considered about lures/jigs. I just want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely on the proper gear. My family and I love eating these little fish so again any help would be appreciated. If anyone in the Central Va area wants anyone to tag along to do a little crappie slayin let me know. Thanks for your help!!
