Thread: Jigging/Trolling

Dont trash them eggs eat em.

I don't think you can catch faster than they reproduce . That is why they tell you not to put them in a pond . I do know the green carp will thin them out in a pond . So when i'm strolling the Rez I don't feel guilty either way . So why can't you catch them single poling 20 ft deep ?

Just dont or havent ever one-poled that deep. Trolling has taught me ton in the last 9 months.

I figger when I grow up some I will try it too . Thanks all of ya'll I know how to get it together and do it . I have learned when the ff finds them deep you can catch them just not so easy to get them in the boat . I was bouncing my jig on the bottom Saturday and they would hit it on the drop . Wasn't quite 20' but close . Learn something new every time I go .

I would love to be able to find fish down 20ft deep and drop a jig and catch em--just haven't gotten that lucky. I would suppose it would have to be over a nice brush pile to have it happen though

Keep fishing, you will find that ledges will hold more fish more consistently than brush.

that's the problem--not many ledges round here--nothing but flats

Actually, a biologist once told me that it is far more important to throw the males back during the spawn for conservation purposes. A female crappie will lay tens of thousands of eggs, not all at the same time, and she leaves. The males actually guard the nests. They protect the smaller fish.
