32nd oz Plastic Tube Jibs are catching Late August Dink Yellow Perch,Bass and Bluegill  but a 10" and 14.5" Crappie also! The honey hole is still producing and with the coming rain I hope it will turn on like it did in early and Mid August . Several Colors worked but the Smoke and the Red/Chartreuse Jig got the Crappie .

Nice Catch John, looks like you had a blast. BTW personally I have the same jig (or very close) to the one in the pic, I have never caught a thing with it. Just goes to show ya what an expert can do compared to a novice.
