First of let me say I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to crappie fishing. I use to bass fish quite a bit but my schedule changed and I haven't been able to fish much in the last 3 or 4 years. Well it has changed again and going to get to fish a little more. I've wanted to try fishing for crappie for sometime. A buddy of mine just bought a aluminum boat and we are going to give it a try. From the reports I've read on here I've purchased a few things but have a few questions if anyone wanted to help. I've bought monkey milk and electric chicken made by Bobby garland and a couple of lite action rods. Do you use certain color jig heads to match what ever color jig your using? Or do you just use the lead color or maybe black? Are crappie similar to bass with structure they hang around or stage on? Do you retireve the jig silar to a jig bass fishing or maybe a shakey head? Ive also read that you can use a float wheb jig fishing for crappie. I'm don't want anyone's trade secrets just kind of a starting point. We will be putting in at the hwy 58 bridge up by the shortstop if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
