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.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 15, 2016 at 12:40pm

The most consistent Slap Crappie baits have been two slender 3" baits ,. The Mojo Reefer in Blue (8 Slabs  between 12"- 14" ) and the Berkeley Gulp Black Leech ( 3 Slabs  between 12"- 14")

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 !!

Comment by John Sheehan on October 9, 2016 at 8:19am

A few more vertical jigged at 18' .Blue skies and sunny 10 am-2pm time slot made it tough but these two took a Berkeley Gulp Black Leech.

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.
