John's Journal... Entry 208, Day 2 KENT DRISCOLL ON POWER TROLLING FOR CRAPPIE More on Power-Trolling Equipment EDITOR'S NOTE: Kent Driscoll of Cordova, Tennessee, enjoys crappie fishing so much that he fishes the Crappie U.S.A. and North American Crappie tournament trails and belongs to the Troll Mate Crappie Club in Memphis, Tennessee. For the next two weeks, I'll tell you about the tactics Driscoll employs for the summer months to take suspended crappie - power trolling and crankbaiting. This week we'll learn about power trolling for crappie. Question: Kent, when is speed or power trolling the most
effective? Question:
Why do you use Stren Hi-Vis line? Question: What size of hooks are you using when you fish
for crappie? Question: With what kind of jig heads are you fishing?
Question:
Why do you like these jigs? Question: Why do you use three hooks when you fish for
crappie? Question: You said you don't only fish with jigs and
tubes. Sometimes you rig a jig tipped with a minnow. So, if you're using
three hooks per pole, then how many minnows and how many jigs are you
fishing with, and why are you rigging them that way? Question:
What do you mean by a jig-and-minnow combo? Question: So, on the bottom two hooks, the jig is in
front, and the minnow is trailing it, right?
