A guy I know told me they would not bite the Nimrod Special . lol He had livescope and quit at 10 am with 5 when i was launching the boat . Said it was too big .

I caught 5 on first top I hit but then had to work for them . When they slammed the bait , these Huckabee rods swung them aboard as usual .

Well done. I bet you could bring the haul no matter what color jig you fished with :biggrin
Way to go. Great reminder that the latest greatest doesn’t always outfish hard work and time on water experience. Always enjoy your posts. Congrats
That is a Umbrella Tube by Southern Pro 2'' on a 1/8 oz Timmy Tom Jig head which is insert style on #1 hook. I sometimes use a 2.5'' little Hustler in Orange/Chartreuse glow on 1/4 oz insert jig head with 1/0 hook . Good sized Crappie don't get big by eating small , that Sunfish I cut out of one of my fish is not the biggest I have found in one by far . :twocentsQuote:

Purple and chartreuse. I'm shocked! :Rofl
Congrats on a good catch.
Another great trip! Congrats!
Those are definetly some nice fish. Just curious about something, I have fished a lot of different colors and sizes of jig heads and skirts and I agree that usually bigger fish like bigger baits. What purpose or advantage do you think the insert style jigs serve?
Nice fish CA!

Insert jig heads require no paint and are usually cheaper . I think the tubes last longer but you do need to retie to change but I like to cut off a few feet of line every change anyway . I seldom use but one color so only change is when fish tear it completely up .Quote:

Is that at Nimrod? Didn't think you could fish there 20' above normal.

Not fished Nimrod in weeks . Lake is 367 msl , about 22 feet above spring pool . Not worth my time but you might catch a few . The last time I fished here I limited on Sunday when lake just started up and was only 3 or 4 feet high and rising . Once it passes 350 msl I look else where to fish .Quote:

Just simply the best Nimrod
I have fished many times with Nimrod, one time we were the only boat in a white out rain and still catching crappie, we got a little wet but it is what it is.
