Rockport Rattler & Lake Fork jig on Dardanelle!

[Fosh]

Started slow trolling minnows found'em on some brush in 35" got several bites only caught two small ones. Remembered reading some Maumelle tournament report's & the similarities to the situation I was in. So I started casting Rockport Rattler 1/8 oz black with yellow eyes Lake Fork style body blck/chart silver flakes tipped with silver nibble 4 pound test clear. long cast letting it sink to the bottom & SLOW retrieval. The bite was so light it felt like the jig was stuck on the bottom! Ended up with 15 & 4 good ones! In the past I would have kept trying to shove minnows down their throats! lesson learned you need to be versatile and willing to shake things up when the bites not right. Thank you Crappie.com!!! <Fish On>

See, THIS is why I'm not a good fisherman. I hit 'em over the head with same thing, and if nothing happens, I go home.

Good job!!! I learn more just sitting here than by fishing!
