Specks are also tend to be a deepwater fish. Right now we are catching them in 15-22 foot of water on Lake Seminole in SW Georgia. Our preferred attack is to use a small minnow 2-3" long and hook them though the lips or the eyes. There shot be a small split shot 4-6 above the minnow to get it down to depth. Use a small cork/bobber. Crappie will usually hit from the bottom and go back down, thereby hooking themselves, so really yanking on the hook isn't necessary for a good hook-set.If you are an artificial lure guy, larger beetle spins run real deep tend to work good also.They also LOVE structure, you will rarely find them in open water. Look for an underwater ridge, sunken trees, or deep dock pilings. In fact after Christmas, we'll take old trees and dump thme in 20-25 foot of water and make our own "honey holes"
