I live in Punta Gorda, Fla., and fish on the many shallow(2-6 ft), small lakes for Crappie. There is often little to no sizable cover, some grass, some small brush areas. They are retention ponds/lakes, and are typically bowl shaped in cross section. Canals enter and leave some of the lakes which are filled with big/medium, and aggressive young bass, and nice/slab crappie. How and when would you fish these lakes from a jon boat w/a trolling motor? What baits would you use, and best time/s of year to be on the water, pre and post span?. I do well but could do better with some expert advice and counsel. A retired doctor would like some detailed help here!!! Many thanks, Paul Dow Dawson
