Truman 3/31/15- Windsor Crossing

Got out on the water about 730, done fishing by 1100. Caught a limit and threw back anything under 10 inches; I didn't have to throw back but a few. Spider rigging in about 13-17 Feet of water set about 6-9 feet down. I used minnows but I don't think it would have mattered too much, a good number of the hits came off of jig only. The best color that worked for me was a pink and char swarm jig with a char jig head. I tried to venture into some of the smaller coves across from the boat ramp but the only thing I caught were trees. Good luck.Attachment 197218

WELL DONE!

WOW!!!!:ThumbsUp

Great report!!

I would say that's a good day, congrats.

Nice !

What is in their mouth and where to do I get them?

Fish counters. It's an individual metal type stringer with a color plastic piece. I bought those up at long shoal marina. Several different colors for distinguishing your fish from your buddy's fish. I think I paid like three bucks for them.

I need to get some of those. I have a separated livewell but it looks like an easy way to keep track of how many you need and an easy way to pluck them out of the well!

Nice day for sure! I've been wanting to go back to Windsor Crossing, I've only been once.

You can make you some out of shower curtain clips. They work great and does make getting them out of the livewell easy. If fishing three guys they are nice to keep the fish sperate.

Good to read a report from that side of the lake. Thanks.
Great job

Great job!

Excellent, I'm glad you got out and gotten.!!!!

Nice

Thanks for the report!

Glad you caught a limit...

Good thing OSS has motor problems or you could have been in trouble. If he catches ya over there he will take half of your fish before you can go back to the ramp.......:yikes

You guys better check with OSS and Bulletman before ya all go over to Windsor Crossing and get your passes.

I have seen those swarm jigs in different places and was wondering if anyone else uses them and how they work. But, Iam 64 and I have seen all kind of things work at different times

Personally, I like the swarm jig over this past winter when jigging for crappie. They have been working well when spider rigging as well. The action is pretty good on the tail of the lure but just like any other jig its up to the crappies appetite and color preference. The price is good and the guy who makes them is out of Sedalia.
