Yup. A good light duty spinning rig and 8 lb. test mono does the trick. I was out playing the taunter/tauntee just a few days ago. Black crappies put up a good tussle if you hook one in the 8"+ range.Loads of fun if you're just looking to do some pure bank fishing and not load up a jon boat and $500 of tackle. :-)
That's my kind of fishing. The easier the better.
You have crappies running where you are right now? Lucky, lucky....
Not here, way too deep. Have to wait until spring for papermouths. I really enjoy drifting in a jon boat with about 5 poles each for crappie....then drift thru a school and let the fun begin. :)
The weather down here is starting to cool a little, so it seems to be picking up. But, one of the nice things about panfishing is, the little hooligans are damn near everywhere you go, and they're always looking for a free meal. LOL That's why they're so much fun - no matter how bad your day's catch is, what you're rigged out to catch, whether you're a hook-it-and-keep-it or a catch-and-release angler, or even where you're dropping your lines, you can always hook a few sunnies or bluegills and come away felling like you had a good day. :-)
