OK, Thanksgiving morning my son & I fished tree tops vertical jigging in the creek just off the main river.
We tried 3 trees close together with no bites. Then we moved to the main river and fished some big blow downs on a steep bank. We both had some hits. About 10 or 12 ft. deep. I had one on and he got off. Water was 60 degrees, color green stain, could see a jig down to about 2 ft. 1/16 jigs. My son used chart/blk/chart and I used pink/blu/wht. I tried several other color but those were best. All with crappie nipples. We were anchored in 25 fow. Will crappie stay in those tree tops through the winter? Looking for advice. New to this jig fishing.
