I have been fishing for crappies primarily with a size 8 hook, a bucket full of mini fatheads and a cork bobber in a nearby lake. I usually have pretty good results in april/may and parts of june. A good trip would consist of 20 ranging from 8-13 inches. Are there any better suggestions for bait or tackle? My buddy i fish with seems to get 5 or 6 more every trip.
