Thread: The Statue of Liberty presentation

If you can hold as still as that you have a pretty good chance on the winter fish in a good number of lakes in Texas during the winter .
We employ it in boats and on docks and the best part is it takes ZERO skill .
If you can find the bottom and only raise the bait around 6 inches off it and not move a single muscle , they flat hammer it as hard as a crappie will ever bite !
Some of them will take it so hard it will amaze you ! A good solid winter crappie bite is worth it's weight in gold by golly ! We rolled up on steam rising off the water at 8 am , outside temp. was 32 , water temp was 54 on the surface and the shad were in poor shape all over the lake .
The birds were really working them over and the fish were on the bottom in clean up mode .
Spot one was loaded and we hammered them . spot 2 was near as good and we left after 2 hours of line snapping rod bending big fun . We both broke off on fish twice each and he had one break his line in the boat and a really heart stopper big fish beside the boat !
straight to the bottom on the jig and something shad colored on a 1/16 th and you were in the show if you could hold it VERY still .
left the water with a cooler full at 10 am
i wore the mask early because it was ccccold and later i pocketed said mask btw
KABOOM is the word yawl
