Like most crappie fishermen, Jason Golding grew up staring at bobbers and waiting for a bite. Not that there’s anything wrong with dipping minnows for crappies, but there are other techniques that are more effective at times.
Golding, of Grenada, Miss., discovered one of them a few summers ago when he combined his casting skills with cutting-edge sonar technology, thus pioneering a new way to catch Grenada Lake's jumbo white crappies.
