Welcome to BFT and I hope you can get some good info.
I use tube jigs for crappie mostly and small flies and worm for gills.

Thanks for checking us out.

I use jigs and flies as well. As far as your retrieve it's going to depend on where the fish are. Try a slow jigging retrieve until you find their depth. I'm in PA and the ice just left the lake here. I went out the day after and crushed them. All on flies clouser the first day and a pure white popper the day after. Got 13" crappie on top water.
Any one else try using topwater this early?

The ice has been off the lake I fish for about 4-5 days now. Here are few few pics of the crappie and what I got them on.It's never too early for topwater.
