I know this is an old topic, but I thought I would go ahead and throw in my two cents. I have found wat works best for is to get some fairly light line. I like the 4lb mr crappie. A number 6 or 8 hook. A split shot about 6-8 inches above the hook, and a bobber about 1 1/2 to 2 feet above. I know alot of people like to use slip bobbers, but I have a hell of a time setting the hook from the bank with them.

That'll make two big ole filets!
-
crappie and bluegill are about all we eat anymore... Definitely my two favorites!
-
This is a great method! Otherwise I will use a #8 or #6 baitholder, a split shot 3-4 inches above that, than a light bobber about 1 1/2 feet above that... Catch them all day long! I guess I should add either a piece of crawler or redworm on the hook...

Crappie like Disco... It's a long story...

Ive always had trouble with spinnerbaits. Although I did catch a MONSTER cat on one by accident one morning.

I looked for a good pair for a long time... never came to be. Next time you buy glasses look for a place that does a buy one get one free deal. I got a nice pair of sunglasses in my RX and had them polarized.

There goes my day...

When I was a kid, a friend of mines step dad use to take us out around midnight. He would anchor his pontoon and hang a couple of lanterns over the side. We would catch them all night long on minnows.

Appreciate all the comments... I ended up going with a Spiderwire 20lb braid. Seems pretty smooth so far, but I wont be able to get on the water for another couple of months. Hoping for the best, Ill let you know how it goes.
-
Awesome... I was planning on going with braid, just wasnt sure what test due to the smaller reel. Thanks!
-
I guess I should be a little more specific. Just curious if it would be better to go with a braid / flouro / mono.

Howdy all... I got a 100.00 dollar gift card for Xmas and picked up this Abu Garcia Orra S20 from Dicks... http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12584088&cp=4406646.4413993.4414792.4414799.4414833 Anyway, the Rod (6'6) and reel feel absolutely fantastic, but Im kinda torn on what kind of line to use. Normally I would go with some basic 12lb test, but I really want to get the best bang for my buck out of this reel. Any Suggestions? I fish mostly soft plastics, Texas rigged, and crank / spinner baits. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
Completely the opposite... Never caught one wacky rigged, but I can slay 'em on a weightless t-rig.

Thank ya Sir...

Well like it says, I aint exactly new. I've been a member of this site since 2005, however I haven't been on much lately. Therefore I figured i would intro myself once again. Live in Lexington, Kentucky. Do most of my fishing in Owenton. Small private lake community called Elk Lake.
-
I fish on a similiar lake and have pretty good luck with mid range cranbaits aroundthe docks in the mornings and at dusk... Go Cats by the way...
-
Ive used the minnows for crappie and they work farely well... On the other hand... that juice is funky. REALLY funky. Bring some hand wipes if you use 'em.
-
I was gonna tell you to throw a shallow crank past it... my mistake...
-
I am probably the master of throwing Crankbaits into the trees...
-
Pretty sweet lookin jigs man...

27 years and not a one...

They appreciate it more... Im just sayin'... 8-)

Ill keep it simple... UGLYSTICK... Hell... I still use bamboo poles for crappie and bluegill.
