    I've caught several crappie, but have yet to specifically target them. What is the best approach to getting on some crappie?

    Believe it or not many dedicated Crappie fishermen catch one and blow up
    up a balloon and fix it to the top fin and let it go.
    The Crappie swims back to the school and stays there, the balloon giving
    away the location of the rest of the gang.
    I've never done that but talked to dedicated Crappie fisherman that swear
    it works.
    I dunno but it's worth a try.
    Fishing is crowded N.E. Ohio is problematic.
    Crowds of shore fishermen and boats galore.
    I don't like that one bit.
    I fish Tappan Lake in south central Ohio for giant blue and channel cats.

    Nice Flathead!

    Our biggest, my cousins and I, was a hair under 50 pounds caught on a long line
    July 3rd several years ago.
    We kept it alive and turned it loose in a large private lake.
    No one is going to catch that on normal rod and reel.

    Many dedicated catfish people use 10" shiner "minnows" for bait and a lot
    of patience.

    Some buy large goldfish bought at pet stores for huge catfish.
