start at bottom & work your way up. jiggle the heck out of the pole
sometimes crappie bite so lite you cant tell they are there
watch the end of your pole close & if it slacks or changes
you probably hav one holdin on
once you do catch one you may want to do this
check & see if it is allowed in your state
crappie always hang out in schools
where there is one there are more

catch one & use fishin line hook on top behind fin not to hurt the fish
let out 6 or 7 ft. of line & put a small bobber on that end. turn it loose & it will go back to the school

keep trying diff colors. if you dont catch one in 5 min change colors
darker the water darker the lure
clearer or lighter the water lighter the lure

crappie always bite up so try to stay above them

when they are sponing they are easy
after that you have to work sometimes

GOD bless & good luck
