Crappie from shore?

[Dave Bailey]

I have a confession: I've never caught a crappie. At my age you would expect incidental catches along with all the other stuff, but nothing.

Looking to break that unenviable status this spring, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Not necessarily looking for any honey holes, just general areas, terminal tackle tips, etc.

I'm in Pickering, willing and able to travel, preferably north or northeast.

Thanks!
