Caught this on a money jig.
Attachment 90428
It weighed exactly 1 pound.
I tried trolling road runners for the first time without any luck. One small crappie. So I threw some jigs and the catching wasn't much better. At the rate I caught fish today I need to go 2 more times to get enough for a meal. This was at Burn't Mills. I did get one more much smaller cracker and several small crappie. I will go back with some worms.
Now that's a cracker! Here's one I caught a couple of days ago. I love the fight of those bream!!
Hey Bill, I used to keep a can of baby clams in my bag for when I ran across crackers like that. Open it up, pour the juice in the water, scatter a few for chum, tip a tiny hair jig, green or chaurtruse with a piece of clam. Works better than worms. Just make sure you've got something to open the can, I've got a nice scar in the top of my foot from stabbing at a can with a screwdriver.
Wow, I know that was a fun catch!
Thats a good one right there. I like Boscoe's thinkin... Always Ready!! :)

Is this what you are talking about? Walmart.com: Bumble Bee: Fancy Whole Baby Clams, 10 Oz: Meal Solutions, Grains & PastaQuote:

There's not usually any doubt about whether it's a gill or cracker ... as it seems the crackers grab the bait & swim off, while the gills pick & peck or hammer it.
Boscoe ... thanks for the "clam" tip !! :Hands Clapping Might have to give that a try. Thumbs Up (but I think I'll see if I can find some in a local "Dollar" store)
... cp :cool:
Yup, like Pappy says I get the little cans like 4oz maybe at the dollar store, the shrimp work too.Quote:
