40 degrees, no sun, stiff wind. Not a perfect day but it was a good day for me. Cabin fever drove me out of the house and I chased a few fish this morning. Only caught 2, both good solid keepers, 1 white and 1 black. On my hand tied gray minnow pattern. 2 friends fished with minnows close by and boated several 'gill and a LMB, but no Crappie. I love that jig:D. Thanx for reading
great job SkeetBum... it's always cool when your jigs tickle the crappies fancy more than anything else
Way to go Skeet....glad you got out.
Yes that gray/silver is killer.
Better tie up a couple dozen in different sizes,match the size to what they are feeding on.I do better with smaller baits when the water is cold,got thin ice here right now.
It was a bit windy, and I didn't have the right attitude to throw 1/32. I have some that are the same basic pattern with giunea feathers that should hold their shape better and do the trick. An early start or a calm day and I'm breakin em out. Looked last night and between the store boughts I had before I started tying and what I've made since I have 3 boxes full o jigs. Don't need to tie another for a while - but you know I will!! One of my buds got a report this past week that fish were being caught in 2 fow with a bobber. Had lots of fun this past winter once that started. Hope y'all get out. Merry Christmas.
Nice to catch them crappie on your jigs huh? I have a customer that has been killing them on my Tomato Seed Jigs I tie and others with him trying minnows not doing much at all. He is a very happy guy, LOL! Only wish I had been fishing so I could tell what I caught, but this year was just not my year to fish I guess. Too busy and I will not let that happen in 2010 and that I am sure of.
Way to go skeetbum,
