When fishing for panfish like crappie you need to remember they have small mouths so be sure to use a tiny panfish hook and the bait that you should use is either worms eggs power bait or any other "sitting" bait. The most effective for me has been worms but if they don't work in your area try other things. Another useful tip is to use a bobber in deeper water with a lead line below and your hook on the end to try and keep your bait a foot or two off the bottom but in more shallow water its unnecessary just toss it out and let it sink
