Waxies would be worth bringing along to try. They pack light. Crappie minnows but I realize thats not really feasible on the trip your taking. When I was a kid, I stayed busy all day long catching panfish with whole kernal corn on a hook. Sunnies go nuts over corn! Just open the can and you have bait for a day. Small jigs tipped with a piece of crawler should work too. My experience with crappies is, if you find them and they are biting even a bare hook will catch them. That is what makes them so fun. I fillet them also. A fillet off a decent crappie yeilds a good amount of meat. You don't end up with much on sunnies but they sure are tasty!
