First look for reed beds in three to five foot of water in the back of bays and later in main lake reed beds. Stay outside of the reed beds to keep from spooking them. A trolling motor is a must. It starts when the water temperature reaches sixty degrees crappies start making nests first in the bays and later in the main lake shore line areas.
Take a very long crappie rod nine to fourteen foot with a spinning reel spooled with six to eight pound test. Now take your float and jig combination and drop in and around the reed cover or if you do not have reeds look for them in pockets of weed cover. If crappie are fussy tip your jig with a minnow or minnow head. Also Berkley fish fry and and gulp waxies work when others do not and they are more durable.
