A couple of years ago during the fall my partner and i found a huge tree in 16ft while the lake was down. It was loaded with slab crappie and the only bait they would hit was a pearl tube jig. We fished this tree all way thru the winter with the same results. The next year they would only hit wally world color hot grub. Havent done well on that tree in years but it was a great spot in the fall. What I learned from this is have lots and lots of different colors.
