A friend and I went last Friday to Cypress Lake near Benton Louisiana. We left with 32 crappie and 1 bass that we caught between 8:30 and 11:30 AM. Most of them caught on black/chartreuse hand tied hair jig in 2 feet of water. All 32 of the crappie were male fish. The jig I used was made by johnt_ms on the Louisiana board. He calls them Poison Jigs. They have the sickle hook and he will make custom orders. Give him a shout.
