Gotta love the old school stuff.
Might want to make a few more of those "shallow" BPs for summer. In Aug-Sept, I've caught fish in 3-5 ft of water at mid day. You'll be surprised where crappie will be when the water gets 88+ degrees.

Nice mess of fish Thank You! Cool post Kelly! Now thats getting back to the basics. Sorry to hear that about your motor Thanks Leo. I have a replacement, just waiting on the mechanic to finish mounting it. Gotta love the old school stuff.

When I was a kid we would take a cane pole, electrical tape and a wire clothes hanger to construct a jigging pole. Caught thousands of crappie with this set up.

If you buy a B&M 12' Fiberglas Cadillac pole (no reel) and add 16' of line to it..........well I've caught 100's with that setup. It's light, strong, doesn't take up much room in the boat.
I seldom fish deeper than 16' unless it is in the Winter.
I think sometimes we over think what it takes to catch crappie.

A buddy and I used to rent a boat for a day at what was Carswell AFB when we were stationed there in 1974, armed with bamboo poles and maribu jigs. Lake Worth has lslands of reeds, and we caught tons of crappie in two feet of water... Great fun.

Brings back old memories. We used cane poles and we had tin cans with both ends removed. when we got hung up we dropped the can over the pole and down to the hook and usually got it loose.
