One of the best and easiest methods is to go vertical baby! Drop your bug over the side of the boat and jig and jiggle. Go straight to the bottom and bounce. Then for crappie and other fish that like to suspend count your turns. Let's say you are ice fishing and you drop your bait or bug to the bottom and work it some to no avail. Take half a dozen turns of line onto the reel and and do the slow lift, the dead hand or the wiggle and jiggle. No luck? Keep taking turns until you hit one. Fish ain't always on the bottom or top, they can be in between!
Awesome!
