I've interviewed some of the best crappie fishermen in the nation for my new book, "Catch Crappie All Year: Fishing a Single Pole, Using No Boat and Farming Crappie," to learn how, where and when to catch the most crappie with or without a boat while single pole fishing. I've also included information on how to grow a crop of crappie to catch every day of the year. Although I've fished in fully–rigged crappie boats costing $45,000 - $90,000 + that can have up to 16 rods at one time to slow troll, I still enjoy ...
* watching a quill cork sink in a brush top;
* fishing with an ultralight spinning rod;
* reeling jigs or minnows along a grass line and feeling that thud when a crappie takes the bait;
* fishing with family and friends, even if we all can't fit in one boat; and
* participating in less-expensive and hassle-free yet highly-productive crappie fishing like single poling. I've tried to capture in this new book the old way of crappie fishing with new twists and detailed tactics to aid you in catching crappie all year.
