Water was muddy for spring river, and lots of weeds floating down river. Couldn't hardly make a cast with out catching some of the weeds. Got a lot of bites on the jig tipped with a minnow, but just couldn't hook them.
When they do that try turning your minnow the other way on the hook,if that doesn't work tie a grab hook on a short leader tie it to the jig eye and stick one of the grabs in the minnows tail.At times They worse then bream stealing bait,,,could have been wanting a LARGE minnow or a smaller minnow then what you where useing.Or they were wanting it on a smaller jig...its the reason I said it easier to just chase crappie.
HUMM the river looked good sunday dark green color no trash,guess we got more rain then I thought tthe other night.
Thats one fish you will only lip once in your life time lol.....
when they bite don't jerk. just start reeling in picking up speed. they will get it. a lot of ti,es if I think i got a bite i am hung. feels like a hang up and it will be a fish. I heard a few years ago shock boat found as many eyes as trout above the dam. Old timers fish just above the dam. Have an 11&3/4 . a week later I ran into a guy that had a 19-4. thought he was huing and started breaking it off when he felt it surge.
2-2 1/2 in Purple and chart umbrella tube on a 1/8 or 3/16 oz head. Point your boat up river.Cast up river let the bait drag doum the current 6-8 lb mr crappie line in camo!!!! good fishing espically around sunkin logs and big rocks with current!!!!
I'm going to try it again later on. Sometime after the water clears up. Need to catch some crappie first.
Thats exactly what my 9lber did. Just grabbed it and wouldnt budge, I thought I was hung. There was just enough give in the line that I decided to reel the snag in instead of breaking off, then he started thrashing!! Man, them suckers are stout!!Quote:

This is the rig I use for back trolling in current or drifting deep holes. That trailer hook is the ticket for those short strikes. Leave a little bit of your night crawler hanging off the end and pinch off the tail.

The spring river is a hidden treasure!!!! Great fishing!!!
Thats the rig I was looking for. Couldn't find one around here. I'll have to order done before my next trip. This was a last minute trip. My dad called wednesday night to see if I wanted to go. my dad at 72 years old, I can't pass up to many opportunities to fish with him.Quote:
