When you look at one of Kent Driscoll’s summertime crappie rigs, you’d swear he was fishing for behemoth catfish. Armed with 16 1/2-foot stiff poles, 12- to 14-pound test line and weights ranging from 6 to 8 ounces, Driscoll pursues summertime crappie with a tactic he calls power trolling. Power trolling is especially effective on reservoirs where post-spawn and summertime crappie suspend in open water. When the heat turns up this summer, rig up some heavy tackle and power troll for suspended slabs on your favorite reservoir.
