Slick Jigs in the Pool

Matt and I threw everything at the crappie this afternoon. It was so slow that we couldn barely catch a cold. Actually it was much colder than we thought it would be. It got chilly. After only catching drum and this lunker warmouth,

we decided to try out some of Creekslicks spinner jigs in the pool. To our supprise we caught some crappie! We only ended up with three, in about 45 minutes, before we called it quits and went on it. We also missed several bites and ONLY got hung up about a dozen times. I wonder if anyone else has tried longline trolling in the pool? Could we have been the first ones?

Dang sideways pictures!

Thanks for the report. I am giving it a shot in the morning.

Good luck. I heard people were catching them with jigs under floats near the banks, earlier in the day.

Thanks for the report. Must be slow due to no post. Good luck Shawnh tomorrow.

I saw a few caught early deep. Me. Skunked again. Will probably start on spring yard work next weekend.....

Nice fish

Thanks for the report! i fixed your pics for ya! :biggrin

Hotrod 98 you are all heart.

I've caught some in there castin jigs/triple tail grubs/kalins grubs rather than corkin or jigger polin. Watched a guy catch darn near a limit one time doin it so i've tried a few times since but only caught a few. When everyone is anchored and you're slidin around chunkin n windin its kinda fun but gets old in a hurry after the yak dude makes a 55 yard cast 3 feet from your boat and acts like you're intruding on his gold claim (which coincidentally I personally sunk the brush there where he was fishin). Oh well, yakker guy keep on strokin.

Catches fish laying on his side. Catches fish standing on his head. He is Superfisherman!!:superman

Ive spider rigged and power trolled. But never tried to long line. Good job! That was a challenge in that small a place.

We only tried it because there were only 2 other boats in there. If it would have been full like normal, we wouldnt have done it. We also only had to rods out. We were getting hung to much to use more poles.

Sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures. Especially when you are trying to avoid getting skunked. I hate getting skunked!
