Need some advice on bait colors and line wt. and line color. Gonna try a spring feed rock bottom lake that's crystal clear like Norfolk and Greers. Has huge crappie in it and its hardly never fished. Retirement community. Going late spring early summer to try it. I got muddy water down. Clueless on clear water.
If it has docks, shoot some jigs under them.
It's has a lot of docks that's where some big ones are caught. Most dock owners feed the fish huge catfish in there to. The fish are pets to them and they get offended when you catch fish around there docks. I was planning on trolling by the docks. So what's a good clear water go to color I haven't jigged clear water. I have small mouth fished with a red and gold worm on Norfolk they love that color.Quote:

Yeah he said awesome pink for cranks. Pink/chart/white on jig. Something with pink sounds to be the ticket. Going to try hi vis green 15# mono and 6# clear mono.
I got a couple of boxes slam full of different colors, surely we can find one they like, when we going.:biggrinQuote:

Haha late spring and in the summer. My grandpa bought a pontoon this week. So I will be going up there to sink him some bamboo condos and get him set up on trolling when it warms up.Quote:
