Thread: Newby Questions

Welcome to the boards. If you are that new to crappie fishing I personally would not start with jigging. I would start with spider rigging or long line trolling. Either technique will catch fish all year long. What I would recommend is to hire a competent guide that specializes in the technique that you want to learn and pick his brain. Long line trolling works all year long and is not hard to learn. The biggest thing in long lining is speed and depth control. You can long line or spider rig with as many rods as you want to use. Greenwood is not doing good right now but will get better as the weather gets warmer. I would be be happy to meet you at greenwood and show you the technique of long lining. Don

You won't get a better offer from a nicer guy. My advice? Take him up on it. Made me the same offer a few years back and I'm glad I did.
