Got to do some reading up on this. Put in at almost 11, caught 20 or so with 3 keepers.
Do y'all use clear line or yellow line?
What rods? I'm using 2 pinnacle limit 12s and 2 8s bit if I had someone with me I'd need a couple 16s wouldn't I?
Fish from the front or the back?
That should get this started.

Just assuming your talking about long lining, either that or you done hit your head and got amnesia. I long line one small lake out of my two man boat and use four holders off the sides with staggered rods. If I was going to long line out of the big boat I would prefer to sit on the back deck with two 4 pole holders and adjust them (angle) as needed to fish shorter rods as opposed to pulling off the side with longer staggered rods. I would pull cranks in this fashion, but for some reason I seem to get more action off pulling from the sides as opposed to straight lines out the back.
I long line eight poles off back. Four on each side. 8;10;12; and 14 ft. Rod holders set same as when pull cranks. Ht panfish rods. Pfluger presidents spin cast reels. Six pound diameter braid power pro depth hunter line. Using jigs and roadrunners. Various tube skirts and styles. .9-1.1 speed. It’s works for me but most say I’m not put together right. Call me if you want.
I when long lining, I fish off the back. Same rods that I use for cranks. 16,12,8,4 on each side for two people. But I mostly fish by myself and use a 12 and a 4 on each side in the back.

I am really new to longlining (pulling jigs) but I'll tell you a few things that have helped me. I only started this spring and have fished that way maybe 20 times. First I had some really good people allow me to fish with them while longlining. Slabprowler, CrappieFlopper, and Bob who is CF's neighbor. All of them do things a little differently, but I settled on rigging the boat the way Slabprowlers was set up when I fished with him at the Bama spring camp. Driver fishes one side of the boat and passenger fishes the other side. I fish 4 poles out of the right side off the front deck and 4 off the left side of the back. Doesn't matter which way you rig that, that's just how I did it. I fish 16, 12, 10 and 8 foot rods. The only reason I do that is because I bought 2, 8 footers before instead of 2, 14's. I first tried 2, 12's and 2, 10's because that's what I had and for me, that doesn't work. I varied the height off the water of the same length poles but I still wound up in a mess.
I lucked into figuring this one out. I had 3 different colored lines on spinning reels when I started. All are some fashion of Hi-Vis. I need to respool a few of those and I'm going to stay with different colored lines. That helps me know which reel to roll up when I get tangled. That's a small thing, but I like it.
I am going to experiment more with different weights of jigheads. I've been using mostly 2- 32's of a 32 and 16 and letting out more, or less line to vary the depth but that it very hit and miss for me, mostly miss, when trying to fish deeper than 10 feet or so.
One tip that a guide told us at the spring Bama camp was to put a crappie nibble on each jig. I have decided that really does help. It's aggravating to do, every time, but I have seen twice in the past month where we went from not catching, to catching just by putting the nibbles on. First time I thought it was a fluke but it happened again this past week, so now I'm a believer in that.
My 16' poles are Jenko SpiderTrolls and I really like them. I have some cheaper Limit and Cypress Creek rods and I prefer the Cypress Creeks from Jenko. They have more backbone lower on the blank. The Limits work fine though. Just a personal preference.
I have not pulled minnows, nor do I plan to start unless I get really desperate. LOL
At any rate, maybe more of the more experienced guys will chime in.
He gonna mingle with minnersQuote:

Makes me feel important and such, thank goodness for auto spell! Plus I'm trying to bust out another 60 post to get me to 2,000. Fish too much to be full of hot air, I get there by the end of the year, hopefully :biggrinQuote:

Line is Offshore Angler 6 lb Hi Vis. I wanted to pull from the back deck just for the fact it gets busy and i wanted some room behind where I was fishing. I don't like walking to the live well and stepping over landing nets, poles, tackle boxes. The back deck works best for me.
John, I long line 80% of the time. We have a 3 pole per person rod limit on my home lake but if I go else where , I stagger off the front and run 7 footers off the back. I use 6lb line and I try to use a good quality line such as stren. Mr crappie and crappie max are crap. Its like cranking depth and speed. I pull .8 to 1.0 unless I'm real shallow
Which BnM poles do you use ?

They load up pretty good but handle the crank and a fish fine.
