I hear ya' on the "light bites." I know our native sheepshead in the ocean are famed for you not being able to feel the bite, and alot of time it's true. Now that i've switched to super braid line for many of my applications, I can usually pick up even the most faint of bites.
I know you're right on with the crappie, but i'm not much of a crappie fisherman. The reason for that is simple, I haven't put my time in doing it. I know the tactics and basic know-how, I just haven't applied them enough to be efficient at it.
What i'm really trying to do is atleast be able to snagg a half dozen or so of bream, or hand sized live bait for that matter, so I can catfish during the winter months. Sure I could drive to santee and buy live shad, but I don't have anyway to keep them alive during the trip. Shad are wicked hard to keep alive, and my smaller boat just doesn't have the room to add a proper round walled live well. It has an old school box livewell molded in, and that's pretty much how it's going to stay.
Maybe I should break out the old cast net and snagg a few like that. LOL I just hope the gamewarden isn't watching. (just kidding if you are) [
