Here in my little part of the crappie world sometimes its just about one pole . One pole on a dock and one pole in the hand , or one pole on the bridge and one pole in the hand . But even if the presentation differs tremendously it still seems to be all about one pole . i hit the river at lunch and the fish were on one pole of the bridge , i hit the lake after work and the fish were on one pole on a dock . I pitched a float rig on the river with a 7 foot pole and a i pitched just a jig on a 5.5 foot pole at the lake .
Now mind ya i found fish every where i hit and in numbers as well . a few bass and one unlucky bream and about a pretty ridiculous number of crappie and some of them was pretty nice . i did hit a few bridge columns up under a bridge from the boat as well .
i use just jigs 99.99% of the time and if the bite isnt right i add a crappie nibble .
Lots of folks in these parts say the lake i am hitting is slow , i say well i dont know about all that so much . we was rippin 2 at a time at the lake an my river visit at lunch was real nice as well . A large storm cut it short on the lake visit after work but we still managed about 60 in 2 hours between us . i lost count on the river but i imagine i ripped about 25 or 30 pretty easily .
my predominant bait was larger pearl white plastic on a 1/32 number 6 proball .....and even them lil tiny pex that make ya say STOP it got jerked out of the water as well .....:Rofl
fish were holding about 8 foot down in 12 er so foot of water at the river in the shade about noon....LOTS of bait up under there and the lake fish fish were holding about 10 to 12 foot down in 10 to 15 foot of water .
I am not going to get to go east this week so yawl bear with me until i get to travel out of town . i may get to hit a west texas lake for a bit tomorrow instead of this here urban crappie thing . hope everyone has a great day ....
