Read all post and best I have seen on crappie.com. Have been long lining for many years Best money I ever spent was taking a trip with a guide. I learned boat set up jig size's why variable speed trolling motor is so valuable in controlling the depth jigs run in water column. Of all the things I have learned water temp is one of the best tools as to where I will start fishing. I have learned so much being a member of this site it has improved my fishing greatly. Santa brought me a drift sock to try and hope it will let me continue to fish on windy days instead of going to the house. Thanks for the tips from everyone as i still learn each time I go longline trolling
