Thread: Vertical Jiggin

I love Crappie fishing, period. I spiderrig when I feel the urge, I have even been known to pull out the casting rig and toss a bobber at the bank. But vertical jigging brush is by far my favorite method for putting slabs in the boat. I love that thump at the end of about ten ft of line! Give er a tug and that big ole sow slowly comes to the surface, and after a little bit of thrashing, lays on her side, beautiful!! This method works well for me because I can keep moving, maybe i'm a little ADD!! When I find some brush that is holding fish, I toss out a buoy and drop my lines and work the brush over real good, trying different depths as I move over and around the brush. If I dont catch any in a few minutes, I am outta there and on to the next one. If I catch one, I will stick around until it slows down, then im gone!! I have seen people sit on the same top all day and it seems to produce well for them. So, I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. So I want to hear from the guys that share the same affection for this style of fishing. How do you do it, any tips or tricks that you have learned over the years that has worked well for you? I am always looking to improve my skills!!
