Since it's kinda slow here today I thought I'd ask a few questions to our crappie experts. <br /><br />I've been reading up on trolling for crappie but I still had a few questions before I went & did any buying. <br /><br />1st. Rod Holders. I know about the Titelok system & it's cheaper counterpart from Driftmaster but I have no place up front of the boat to mount it. The trolling motor is on the bow, right in the middle, but the controls loop around the front leaving no room up there. What other mount options would I have? I though about just buying the rod holders individually & mounting on the side, using different length rods to control spacing. I also thought I could put 4 along the back, and mount my spare transom mount trolling motor. Any other ideas? <br />Here is the best picture of the inside of the boat I have : http://www.titansfan098.com/uploader/boat006.jpg <br />Notice the rear of the boat. That strip that runs across the rear would be a great mounting place for the rod holders. <br />Whadda ya think?<br />While I'm asking....should I get the angled or horizontal type of holder?<br /><br /><br />2nd: How do you do it? <br />I've read about someone using diving baits, 20 yards of line out with different diving depth lures. This sounds the easiest method, but how fast do you need to be going to keep the lures down? <br />I also know about the jig technique, but had questions about that too. Again, how fast should you be going...or is it stop & go? <br />Can you use a bobber to control depth or is it better just to guess? <br /><br />Other than that I'm not sure what to ask about... so I am looking for any tips anyone can offer.<br />Thanks for reading
