Please Help - Seasoned with bass fishing - NEWBIE to Crappie!

So long story short, I have been down the bass fishing road and made a left! Decided I like crappie fishing better, cause the wife will go with me. I had some minor success last year (at eagle creek) on live bait, but have very little confidence when it comes to consistently finding and catching them! I guess what I really need is to go fishing with someone who knows the ropes and learn! Is anyone willing to help out a newb? I will pay my way and don't expect any handouts. Just looking for some help... Thanks!

First of all, you didn't make a left turn....you're makin a right turn! Secondly, I assume you've changed location, because Virginia is a pretty good commute to Eagle Creek.

I fished ec Saturday afternoon. Sure didn't do s well as I was hoping. Got one 12 inches and about 10 small ones. Got several white bass and catfish. Tried casting some but couldn't find any shallow. Caught them all long lining. Water temps between 64 to 68.
