The 1947 Crappie fishing secret...What is it?

I have read about this secret crappie fishing technique. It involves utilizing clouds of zooplankton to locate swarms of feeding bait fish and larger fish. There is a site called crappiefishingsecret.com. It says it's free but then it costs $195. I hate it when something is advertised as free and then they try to charge you. Does anyone know about what you get for $195. I gather it is a way to create a cloud of zooplankton. What could it be? Is this a scam? Anyone?

Update:

If you don't know the difference between crappie and crappy please don't answer.

    It is a scam.

    They are trying to sell you a submersible, green-bulbed, fishing light.

    The "secret" is to go fishing off your dock or boat and submerge this light to encourage phytoplankton/plankton to surface and thus draw Crappie/Bass/Catfish/Etc.

    You can purchase a MUCH cheaper submersible light to achieve this "secret" fishing technique! (lol)

    Go to http://www.cabelas.com/ and look for fishing lights.

    Hope this helps ya? Good fishing!

    A a million a million/2 in Glow Pearl Tube Jig tipped with a Powerbait Crappie nibble. Jig it while they are lively, carry vertically or flow under bobber for those sluggish days. the biggest situation with those is you capture maximum of huge bluegill and yellow perch and your jig gets shreded. purchase bulk one hundred packs from Cabelas or Bass professional. Use a million/sixteen or a million/32 ouncestube insider heads and slide them into the tube. Fish close to downed wood, weed edges and under docks, in the event that they want it incredibly sluggish attempt dropping a black Wolly Bugger under the dock until you are able to't see it anymore. Then pull it lower back up and attempt lower back. I incredibly have caught a minimum of 1000 1lb plus crappies in a 2 month time.

    if you have your own dock on a lake, anything to attract minnows and nymphs to your area will help. throw a hay bale off the end of your dock and as it deteriorates, zooplankton and other bugs will congregate and feed on it attracting minnows which will attract crappie and other fish. you may need to check the legalities of this if you want to do it elsewhere. brush piles attract tons of crappie as do some artificial fish attracting devices made from recycled fishing line and sold by bill dance, l believe. these are some large spiky balls that you stack up and they do not deteriorate in the water. basically you just want to give the fish a place to hide and something to eat.

    Put simply its a LIGHT, that's all! here's another point for you to consider, if its such a "secret" why are they willing to sell you it for $195!!!! i seriously wouldn't spend that kind of money on something that's probably not going to work anyway. As already mentioned, you can buy the exact same thing from cabelas starting from $21.99!!!
