Thread: Spring LOZ Trip

Stayed at the 3 mile marker from the 23rd thru 28th and did pretty good throwing at the bank catching males and a few females. I met a nice lady who said she and her husband did good trolling crank baits and that's all I needed to hear. The next two and a half days were spent watching my rods double over in rapid succession. Find a large creek, look for shad in 30 to 60 feet of water and the crappie will not be far away. The best jig was a pink panfish assassin on a 1/32 oz head, and a blue n' char slab buster (funny I did not throw blue ice this time). For crank baits I used a Bandit 300, Berkley Flicker Shad, and a Bomber Fat Free Guppy trolled at 1.2 to 1.6 mph....I do not think color mattered. I fished the Big Bass Bash and let's just say I should of just kept trolling for crappie...I even went after the tournament and limited out just to redeem myself.
