Squirrel Tail Jigs don't let me down .Tried out some 32nd oz and got four 10-10.5" Crappie .About 1/2 #

Comment by John Sheehan on August 29, 2017 at 6:36am

The 14.5" estimated weight : 1.9#

Comment by John Sheehan on August 29, 2017 at 6:33am

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.

The Crappie from 10"-14" have been hanging by an inflow pipe for the past week . Taking to 16th oz. Squirrel Tail Jigs and 32nd oz. Tube Jigs and 2" plastic Minnows .Particularly good fishing and after during the rain . Bullheads and Channel Cats are prolific also.
