Is a hunter by golly :yikes
She is really more sparrow hawk than Parakeet for sure rotfl
Now mind ya she aint no lil tweety bird at all and is in fact a REALLY small jig offering .
She is what my bud calls a "Nano Fry" .
He sent me a couple to play with and they were so darn cute I just had to tie one on .
The fry are still in abundance in many locations I hit and to be sure the fall bite here is trying to come on but the fish still persist with finicky as heck most days .
Finicky crappie to a jig person can be frustrating and to watch them on one of them new livescope things swim up and turn around and swim off aint fun either .
So even though I was stuck on the bank and not really seeing what was up down there .I still kinda knew what was up down there . The local guy said he been there an hour and a half and hadn't got a single bite ! :yikes
I said darn the bad luck and pitched out Miss Parakeet ….she settled and I set the hook .
KABOOM is the word yawl and I began the windmill effect on them there unsuspecting crappie fish rotfl
After I put about 4 or 5 in his box I tuned him up and had him pinch down his bait to super tiny as well and sure enough he was in the show right beside me just like that .
I left when he was in the teens on fish in his box and he said thanks about a bunch of times for the tips and fish ….and off to work I went .
Never underestimate the power of a tiny offering on crappie my friends :highfive
I only stayed an hour from 830 am to 930 am and the fish were holding about 10 foot deep in 14 fow , slightly overcast when I got there and sun shining when I left .
I changed to a larger jig by a quarter inch later and finished off my hour at over 30 fish with several that bent out my wire hooks escaping during this episode as well .
so maybe try a tiny bait next time you hear they aint biting ….
and yes the bites were ridiculous soft as well :cheers2
