    Default Red Worms:


    Pretty much a greenhorn as ‘panfishing’ goes. Recently, I experienced great success bluegill fishing using a #2 drop shot hook rigged with 4lb.test and a 1/4 weight (working at 22’) So, I have confidence in that form of presentation.
    I used red worms and was wondering if I could have consistent success using red worms in a similar manner for crappies? Red worms last, and are easy for me to work with, so I’d much prefer to use them. But the question remains, will they be effective in producing crappies too? T/U for any insights shared from past experiences

    for the most part no, while you can at times catch crappie on red worms or night crawlers crappie are fish eating predators and prefer minnows or imitations of such.. they also eat other water creatures. Just do the same thing only with crappie minnows.

    Cast small jigs along the bank and you will catch both. I've always done good with yellow/black jigs but a lot of others will work well too.
