HELLO What colors are good to start off with in spring time for LOZ. Will be fishing around the 15 mile marker from the bank & dock. I will be using garland baits. Both clear & stained water. If their is a better bait let me know as I have not been crappie fishing for a long time.
thanks for any help or infomation
Minnows are always good, artificial baits is whatever your comfortable with, the tube bait I see most often is Blue/white on loz
Blue Ice, Monkey Milk and Elec Chicken. Good luck.
Still like the standard Chartreuse and black
was just thinking of ordering some slabanator stuff. heard good things on here about them. so many colors to choose from. also starting at loz.
Anything with a white tail if visibility is 3’ or more and a chartreuse tail if less than 3’. If I had to pick two colors, I would go with blue/white and blue/chartreuse.
Kalin’s triple threat grub in chartreuse shad or acid rain and 1/16th ounce pink jig head.
Acid Rain in the Southern Pro hot grubs is probably the best selling LOZ Crappie bait we sell at the store. Next would be Blue Ice Baby Shad by Bobby Garland. Pumpkinseed/Chart is my favorite down at that end of the lake.Quote:

Bobby Garland slayers blue ice for clear to slightly stained, blue grass for stained to dirty.....just about the only thing I throw anymore except minnows

Personally I think color options are over rated. You hear anglers swear by this color or that color when it's really more about the presentation. I talked to a guy at Coffman who got a nice limit and said the only thing he could catch them on was a white pepper shad pole. I told him I pretty much use BG Slayer blue ice and he said he couldn't get a bite on that. I went out the next day, same conditions, and caught them on blue ice all day. Just pick a color that matches the water conditions.
You know, if you read through these and other threads posing the same question I think you’ll find we all are using different colors of jigs and bodies. Not that any are wrong, I mean if nobody caught fish there wouldn’t be Crappie.com. For me, if I’m not throwing a chartreuse shad with a 1/16 oz pink head I don’t feel comfortable. I may change through the day here and there but I will always come back to it. I know I’m not the only one who does that.
