im heading up to lake santa margarita on saturday and gonna launch the 8-6 inflatable to do a little fishin'. its got a trolling motor and a fishfinder so i think im better off then a rental boat.

my main question is i want to get into some crappie and was wondering what the hot bait is. i usually use wax worms for panfish so id planned on taking some and the last time i was there i got a tip to try the reeds accross from the buoy line near the dam..... does that sound right for a crappie spot?

also id like to get into some bass i wanted to do some drop shotting although i do have enough setups to have 2 drop shots ready along with a carolina rig a texas rig and a crackbait stick so really just need to know whats working out there right now and where to try. ive got a ton of senko colors and a bunch of other plastics so some colors would be nice too :)

anyway thanks for all the info
and maybe ill see a couple of ya out there . if you see a guy in a inflatable with a crap load of poles sticking out come say high!!lol
