Excellent, you've got into some really nice crappie this fall.

Exactly...I am not targeting the crappie, rather, keying on the more consistent bluegill bite. My buddy Gary gave a go with larger tube and minnow baits today and lost a huge gill.

Thanks for sharing Jim......good luck when you get back on them.........I lose several nice crappie every winter on small baits.......just comes with the territory...........

Yes...these took 1/80th oz orange jigheads with a waxie tipper.

It seems when I target these guys with larger profile jigs/baits, I never run into them.  Seem to be getting the incidental catches while scaling down for the gills. Lost another big crappie, too, while catching 31 gill and P-gills.

Still taking small baits Jim?
