Hey All,
Its my first time posting on here and I hate this is my first question as I usually like to figure stuff out on my own. Here's the but, I'm taking my 5 year old grandson fishing Friday who is absolutely stoked about going and has had his Mom buy every type of crappie jig/lure they make. I'm still kinda new to Crappie fishing and honestly, I'm the only Father figure in his life so I want to do everything I can to get him on some fish, we will do the bass thing later, LOL. I usually fish around the flat creek area and my question is should I use bobber/minnow and fish shallow around docks (which would probably be easier for him) or should we be looking for brush piles a little deeper and jig at this time of the year? I'm not asking for spots but for education as I could care less about putting meat in the freezer but do want my grandson to fall in love with this sport. I'm sorry about the long monologue and I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks Dave.
