Crappies also tend to like dirtier water than a lot of other fish. Don't be afraid to fish shallow below your float as the other guys are saying and keep changing your depth until you connect. Slip floats are great for this. Some good systems for crappie are the Grand, Welland, and Martindale systems, as well as Beaverdams/marlatts. In spots with clearer water, nighttime can also be good as crappies have excellent eyesight.

Appreciate it guys, new episodes weekly. No other suggestions on what else y'all like to listen to?

Hey NFN'ers! I have been producing a podcast the last couple years and would love to know if there are any listeners to fishing podcasts on here. If so, what ones do you like? Always trying to create content that people like, and would like to hear why you like the podcast you listen to. Here's a Link to my spotify page, and youtube channel where you can find my podcasts if you want to try something new. I talk to people from all corners of the industry with the intention of showcasing how our "Love of Fishing" brings us together in the sport, regardless of what our favourite aspects or involvements in the sport go. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoAzHxKfURX2GHsqV9XuxOg

I also love using my iPilot to troll. Tiller or kicker motor shouldn't make a difference as others have explained, it's all about propelling straight with the gas motor and then doing the steering with the remote. It really helps in bad cross chop as your boat will stay on a straight path without being pushed off course by waves hitting the bow. As for running it all day, I have a 36v system for my 112lb terrova on my 2025 Pro V and never run out of juice. Sometimes I'm doing 10 hours of trolling too so I think it really just depends on the strength you're running it, battery health...and of course the wind as to if you can make it last all day.
