Darrell loves him some bottom teasers!
We are using minnows on Eufaula and Gibson right now, the fish are right on the bottom. I took an old Coleman ice chest drilled a hole in the top to run the air tube through it worked great.We used a pound of minnows Sat probably caught 70, drop shotting in 30 mph winds this was on Gibson though.

It's clearing a little around Osage cove. You can stick your hand in the water and see it barely at 6".
That's a 100% improvement from a week ago.
Thanks for the tip Tim, but I'm more interested in the process you went through to find them there. You see I would like to be one of those guys who can catch a few crappie almost every time I go out. I have 4 grandsons ages 3-12 that love to fish with pawpaw and I would like to teach them the thrill of the "thump-thump". I do ok in spring like everybody does and catch a few in winter when they gather up but the rest of the year I struggle. I have the tools (boat. electronics etc...) but I need the knowledge. and by the way what are "unweighted teasers"?Quote:

That's where the unweighted crappie teasers work the best. With no weight, the minnow can still swim. They are great for spider riggin to. As the water temp drops, I use the smaller loops to limit movement. I haven't used this particular brand but I did talk to Donald @ crappie Logic and he hand ties all his in any color combination you want. I believe he charges 45.00 for a 60 pack in your color choice. I am getting ready to place an order with him. I am kinda old school but fish most of the time for quality fish over quantity unless my wife or granddaughters are with me. I would rather catch 10 big fish over 100 small ones.
I use to tie some like that for below the dam. I agree on quality fish over quantity of fish except when the grandkids are along and even then it's fun to see them catch a biggun once in a while.
I hate dinks.
Kansas Boys coming to raid KAW this weekend. Whats the report please?
Shane you are probably out of luck. A lot of people are deer hunting and firearms season starts this Saturday. The ones I have talked to that have fished recently said it was really slow.
