I'm so new don't know where to get started. I have 4 grandchildren. I remember when I was young my grandparents taught me to fish and I'm now 58 and love to fish. I mostly fish for spotted bass in Georgia's Lake Lanier. I've been reading a lot about spider rigging and crankbait fishing. I want to learn so that when I do take my grandchildren they will catch fish
Any tips would be most helpful. I have a 21' Triton F&S.

I would suggest using the search option on your interests, and read, read, and then read! Lots of great info has been posted on this site.
I suggest you go to the Georgia forum that way you'll get a bunch of info from the area you want to fish. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/georgia/

Yep you can learn a ton about Crappie fishing on here,pretty much anything you would want to learn.Like the other fellows suggested use the search and hit up the Georgia forum,there's probably some guys who fish Lanier that can point you in the right direction.Crappie fishing is a whole lot of fun for kids!
best tip in the world is TAKE A TRIP WITH MRDUX "CRAPPIE GILLS AND MORE" GUIDE SERVICE ON KY LAKE
Ok you have read and seen videos of how to so now it is time to just get out on the water and spend time doing what you have learned. The fish on your Lake will teach you what will work and what will not work as ever Lake is different. My biggest tip would be to buy the best sonar with biggest screen you can afford as this will be your eyes to finding fish on your lake.:twocents I will be looking forward to seeing your fishing reports and pictures.
All the above is spot on info. Its how I learned.
Welcome from Alabama. I would go out a few times with someone. Learn a few knots especially the Palomar knot, Read the forum here on crappie.com daily especially the Jig Tying / Lure Making DIY forums if you want to learn hot to tie your own jig or make your own soft plastic lures. The people on those forums here will help you a lot. You can also check out the tons of crappie fishing videos on you tube.

Then you probably already have all the tackle you need. A light spinning rod and a handful of jigs will catch crappie anywhere in the country.Quote:

Get with the many members from GA and ask if someone would be willing to show you the ropes! Children are involved in your end outcome (your grandkids) and the vast majority of us feel it is our duty to provide our skill and knowledge to the next generation!
Seeing someone doing it, helping them out, fishing on their platform, and seeing what works and why is the best way you will find to learn this technique.
If you cannot find someone to take you hire a guide for a day that specializes in the technique you want to learn first and fishes on the lake you want to learn and pick his brain
That's not true here in Oklahoma. Here you have to have 30 rod and reel combos, 12 tackle boxes, 5 bags of every jig produced both by major suppliers and anybody else who makes them. Plus you have to have every jig head size and shape known to man. And it still isn't enough!😂Quote:
