    Default Filled the jig box...


    ...now time to fill the cooler. I plan to do some bank fishing at Lake Shelbyville tonight, hopefully the weather cooperates. I caught quite a few on the black head/chateuse body/hot green tail last week/weekend. Was catching crappie on that one while people couldn't catch them with tubes and bait pumps last weekend at Lake Charleston (IL). Here's a pic, it's a Greys box that fit really nicely into my jacket pocket. I put three fixed bobbers in my breast pocket, a stringer in another pocket (or a bucket, not in my pocket), a camera in another, maybe a water bottle and my rod and I'm good to go on the banks- no need for a tackle box.

    Very cool. Did you pour the lead for the jig heads too?

    No, I don't pour. I ordered some of them from PBug and some from chuckanddeb.com I think. I would highly recommend PBug's poured jigs, all that I have bought were very clean.

    Didn't quite fill the cooler but I was fishing in a new place with about 30 minutes of light after work. Caught two keeper, 10" black crappie on a piece of structure I was lucky to find, threw them back. On black/chart/green under a float. Now I need to figure out how to catch them in the dark...

    Nice sweet up you have. It should let you walk around from spot to spot and try different combo's!

    Jigs look good too!
