Hello. I am trying to learn the best way to troll minnows for crappie out of a boat. I have a 1648 john boat and I have 2 rod holders on each side of the boat. I was thinking about about having rods rigged up on a drop shot type rig with maybe double hooks and then use my trolling motor to slowly push the boat. Is this an ideal way to do this? I used to fish this way out of my kayak and had decent luck. I am still learning how to crappie fish consistently, primarily with jigs on brushpiles and docks but would like to try trolling from the boat as a fall back when other methods are slow. Thanks for any help.
