New to forum...long time reader...first time post. I guess I'm like a lot of crappie fisherman. Spring fishing for slabs and pretty much over. I decided to fish for crappie in their summer haunts. This week I fished 20-25 feet of water on the Chick. I caught seven (7) keepers vertical jigging minnows, BG Slab Slayer and Baby Shad. I double rigged the jigs with 1/8 and 1/16 oz jig heads. At times it was tough to keep line/jigs vertical because of wind and current. Any tips would be appreciated.

Additionally, I would like to try my hand at trolling crank baits. I have numerous Bandit 300's and purchased a line counter reel. Apparently Pico lures are very popular. I would appreciate any suggestions, tips and techniques. Not asking for your honey hole location.

Got my Slab Sauce yesterday. Anxious to try. Thanks, looking forward to correspondence.
