A New Way of Fishing for Crappie

The language fishermen use can vary quite a bit from place to place. "Doodlesocking" to most southerners refers to fishing for bass by working a lure, usually a jig, in a figure 8 pattern in the water. The lure is flipped or pitched into position.
There are variations, of course. But it was a surprise to hear a fellow talk about doodlesocking for crappie.
We gently asked him to explain. He did, and it was a simple method that has worked for many years for crappie fishermen even if they call it dabbling or dipping or something else.
