I want to fish for sacalait, get me started

Pole and hook

Pole and jig.

Salter's jig pole, assorted tube or hair jigs, a good depth finder.

Option B would be a spinning reel with a shiner under a cork during the spring.

if they ain't fishing it then it is fair game. same as a stand left on public land. if somebody ain't in it then it is fair game to sit for an evening. I usually leave a thank you note, though.

Do like every other lazy fisherman does now and find a facebook page and message boards to get all of your info.

Ask for a pin on map to the canal, if they're biting, and what color to use.

Cork
Black and chartreuse tube jig
Jig head
6 lb line
Small spinning reel with 6’ ultralight rod

They should start spawning now.

I'm not sure where you will fish but if there's cypress trees put a jig about 3 - 4 ft under a cork and easily set it up next to the trees. Fish all around the trees not just right at the base.

You can also use small minnows

Get a long crappie pole so you don't have to get very close

See yo yo idea above also, I used to love to do this

If you dont tan well

tube jigs


If you sport a year round tan

shiners


Also, the lightest tackle you can stand. They pretty much take the bait like a housecat would do, very gentle.

In south Louisiana, clean water and structure is the key


Also, patience. Whole lot of patience




ETA:


Or you can just put shiners on yo-yo's, but that more for simply catching and eating and not fishing
