HOT July/August Crappie fishing.

[fish_a_holic]

When I lived in Arizona the tactic we used for catching crappies in 104 degree temps on clear days was to troll a 1/8 oz beetle spin behind the boat - using a trolling motor the tactic was to troll over boulder strewn bottoms and channels...on the lowest setting, we'd troll for a count of ten, then stop for a count of 2, then start her back up for a count of ten.

Sounds crazy, but I boated my best crappie on light tackle at 2lb., 9 oz. using this stop and go technique.
