How to be a crappie fisherman?

It was 98* here today...going to be high 90's all week. Gotta love summer in Georgia

@Dutch , if I'm fishing a live minnow on a jig, should I be dead sticking it?

You can. I rarely tip my jigs with minnows, but it is a effective to add "meat" to a jig. I usually only do this during the winter and cold water (when we get for cold water here in Georgia) or when I am "pushing" structure.

When I fish minnows I use a slip float set-up and hook the minnow just under the rear of the dorsal fin and cast it over brush.

Good choice. Monkey milk is also good in clear water.

Slayed 'em this morning on brush in 14-18 feet of water. They wanted small bait: Best was 1/32 jig with BG Itty Bitty Swim-R in monkey milk, also sowbug color trout magnet. Kept 6 huge slabs for tacos; biggest was 1.5 lbs.
