We kick off the new year on the Off Shore Tackle podcast talking with "Crappie Dan", Dan Dannenmueller.

Dan talks about wintertime fishing, including how to trigger a cold water bite.

He also discusses the range of crappies, difference between black and white crappies and river fishing versus in a lake.

The veteran Alabama angler also talks about trolling for crappies, choosing the right boards and how tadpoles can help you dial in the perfect depth.
