Hard to beat a crappie jig, with or without bait. I like to use the color white in particular, in 1/16 oz size.

Rabbit fur white streamers are also good if you are a fly fisherman.

In the spring I'll find crappie around structure (submerged brush) and in the summer they are often in deep holes or under docks.

Good luck.......Crappie fishing is fun! babble
