    Default Dime size fillets


    I went out to try my new Snap Beans. It would have worked better if I had remembered to put them in the tackle box. Oh well, the trip morphed into a "what kind of Gulp works best" trial. I had two rods and fished each bait for 1 hour.
    Red Worms got 1 nibble
    Chartreuse corn got 1 nibble
    Natural Grubs (single grub on hook) caught 13 or 14 fish
    Natural Grubs (3 or 4 grubs on hook) caught 4 fish

    I was fishing in a small pond located on MCAS Miramar. The fish were 3-5 inchers but the FA-18s taking off right over my head kept me entertained.

    Conditions:
    Overcast
    wind light and variable
    surface temp 74deg
    water clarity - white jig could be seen 2 ft down

    With 74* surface temps the Crappie should be tearing it up! The surface temps here in central 'Bama are in the low 90's now, we won't see anything below that until October!

    I believe you are right. Unfortunately there are no crappie in that pond. It is the size of a good sized farm pond. I am going up to Lake Skinner this week. I have a chance at a 1lb bluegill or a 2lb crappie in that lake.

    What size snap bean as you better have some light light tackle/4lb test and iam not fimillar with the pound is there grass weed's how deep!
    With a snap bean the only way i could make them happen on a bad day was to put a small split shot on and get them down deeper and when the bite was slow i incorperated a lil. bass fishing technq. as iffen the they dont want it moveing in (shallow) water stop the retrieve with a clear cork,as it is a crank bait and the one's i use are small at that!
    Iffen you use the stop and go retrieve hang a waxie or a nibble on the treble hook as long as it will stay! I have to figure out how to put pic's on here as my honey has put a new kodak printer and i cannot with help figure out the picture thing ! I will thuogh, i can put pic's on everything else but on this cite? sorry good luck!!
