Using minnows to catch crappies

There is nothing more exciting than using live minnows as bait for catching crappies. Crappies are a freshwater fish found throughout the United States in lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, and ponds. There are two species of crappie, the white crappie and the black crappie. Though both will eat worms, insects and water insect larvae (nymphs), their favorite food is minnows.

When fishing for crappies in shallow water, one strategy is to use a 1/0 hook tied to an 8lb test fluorocarbon leader. Pinch a small split shot sinker about six inches above the hook and attach a bobber two feet above the sinker. Next take a live minnow and run the hook point up through the minnow's lips starting with the bottom one. Now cast this rig out into shallow water (depths from three feet to ten feet) and watch the bobber. The best areas to fish for crappies are areas that have plenty of nearby structure, (submerged rocks, logs, tree branches etc.). When the bobber starts moving quickly or takes a plunge, set the hook.

“i’m.. flattered, but you’re not my type.”

Introducing The Interview with an Artist Series, where we’ll give you a behind-the-scenes look at different Début Art artists. Today’s featured artist is Alan Berry Rhys, a graphic artist and illustrator based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His work is inspired by vintage graphic advertising, and he often uses screen-printing, risograph, and painting in his work. In today’s interview, you’ll find out more about Alan’s inspirations, process, and see some of his latest work. 

Debut Art: Could you share a bit about the brief and your process behind your latest project for Sabores?

Alan Berry Rhys: The product is a mandioca snack. Mandioca is a root produced on Argentina’s north east region, the area where there is a huge tropical forest and the Paraná River. The brief was to create a package design based on that natural environment. I chose the toucan because of its' beak, and the rest is an interpretation of the landscape. I also added some locally inspired lettering.

DA: What is inspiring you right now?

ABR: I love low-fi graphics and hand painted signs. The kind of graphics that are not produced by a professional academic that studied graphic design or illustration, really. I collect all kinds of prints, small flyers, packaging, old stylers, flags, and boxes in my studio as everyday inspiration. 

DA: What editorial project are you most proud of this year?

ABR: I think that would be Only in America, because it is a book that celebrates people doing things in a different, non-conventional way. 

DA: Who is the client you'd most like to work for? What Is your dream project?
