When I was about 4 years old, my parents would take me fishing.
With Live Minnows and Crappie Rigs they would try to catch
Crappie when they were schooling. When their Minnow began
to lose their ability to swim, they would take them off and
put on a new "Live" minnow. They would give me the dead ones.
I would catch 1 and sometimes 2 at once with their dead ones.
The only difference was, I was using a straight line. No Rod
and Reel, no Pole. Just let the bottom sinker down to the
bottom and pull it up about a foot. With the straight line
I could feel those Crappie sucking on the minnow. When they
took it in their mouth I set the hook and pulled them in.
A "Real" fisherman does not need all of those expensive
Rods, Reels, Lines and what have you. Just a Row Boat and
a straight line is all that is necessary.
