Heres something that Ive been working on this season!
Take a small jigging Rapala, tie on a 6 to 8 inch long piece of 4lb test mono to the rear hook and attach a small fly to the end, tip it with a waxie or maggot.
Dont jig the Rapala aggresively just a slow up and down followed by an extended pause.This has worked well for Crappies,Perch and Slab Bluegills!And I even caught 2 rainbow trout the other day.
Thanks for letting me know that you gave it a try and that you caught fish.
When I first did it I was bored out of my mind and was just messing around and was very surprised it actually caught a few fish.
Thanks again,post as many questions as you would like there are a few great crappie fisherman here they just dont post that often.
