How To Catch Fish When They're Not Biting

When I went crappie fishing at Paris Landing on Kentucky Lake in May, I learned you can catch fish, even if they aren't biting that day.  Fishing with guide Ken Riddick and friend Bill Manning, we only caught 18 crappie big enough to keep (10 inches).  This crappie was one of them, but he didn't bite, he just swam too close to my hook and snagged himself by the tail.  Hey, luck counts, so he was among the 18 keepers.
