I had a bag of pork rinds open and occasionally as I neared the end of my retrieve and I knew I had it where it would not touch the bottom I would just stop reeling and let it hang there and grab a bite. Well....about everytime a crappie would grab it.
Right under the boat,sonar pinging away on a rock bottom, hitting the troller occasional to hold me, roadrunner head with curly tail jig just hanging there 4 ft under the boat.
I think it was a day in March I was casting to some crappie on a flat off a point...they were so aggressive I swear a couple of them actually grabbed the jig just as it cleared the water on the end of the retrieve. That's right....I said the fish actually came out of the water to grab the jig just as it was at the surface or just an inch or two off the water. Two sonars pinging away,radio playing rock classics. Not the only time I have seen that.
Only the fish no for sure why it matters sometimes. But my best guess...they are like women. No I didn't say that.
