WOW JOHN ! I STILL GET AMAZED IF MY JIGS WORK ! THANKS FOR TRYING THEM OUT BUDDY ! NICE CATCHE ON THE CRAPPIE !
To be more accurate the fish are coming on 2-3,1/2 "Baits.The two best baits are the 3.5" Blue Mojo Reefer and the 2" Black Berkley Gulp Leech.
You bet Carl .Gonna have to keep some of these again .Been awhile cleaning and cooking up these tasties!These 12" + Crappies take 3" baits .I'm using Bass size hooks on them !
JOHN;; THOSE ARE NICE ONES;; ANY TIME OF THE DAY ! FILLETING TIME !!
Hope this is helpful to others .I am consistently finding good Crappie 12-15', trolling crank baits out side weedlines in the 20-15' zone. These trolling paths and watching the sonar lead me to 10'-5' breaks and drop offs where i catch more jigging , slow back troll dragging and casting over weed tops.
Two hook setting differences today after noticing hits and drops . Watching line swim off with a bit of slack and setting the hook on the movement not the feel of the fish worked best . I often prefer a slight load of the rod tip before setting as it makes a more direct angle to the hook but if the Crappie drop quickly I become a line watcher and set before feeling while reeling in slack. .
