black hoodie , black insulated bibs , black shoes ,black rod and black JIGZ ......:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
KABOOM is the word ya'll :Cowboy
14 to 18 foot of water , not many male fish in the mix ,pretty close to the bottom , ok bite early for an hour or so .
49 degree water temps .
only and I mean they only really wanted a black jig, not kidding either ... :dono
Why do you think it was black? Maybe something they are eating on the bottom? I wonder if it was coincidence or a definite reason?

Your a crappie ninja now.
What a combination.
I've always had good luck with black jigs. Worked good last Sunday for me. Good job Ketchn ninja... lol
I am still not sure about that part of the puzzle , high numbers of breeding channel cat maybe ?Quote:

but there is no doubt about black being the key , any other color just don't get bit ....:dono
Those fry would definitely be dark in color
Gosh.... that sounds logical. I was thinking more bug like maybe or even leech.Quote:

Interesting, ketch. Once again, you got it figured out!

I was thinking along the same lines as SuperDave...Leech is what came to mind.
I see a camo hat. :Rofl LOL Great job and report my friend.
All makes sense. I purchased some jet black Baby Shads during Bass Pro sale a few weeks ago I need to try out soon.

Black is always a great color to have,,,,nice catch!
It might likely just be highly visible to them in deeper water as well , we must remember they see the world different than we do . Not sure why it works, but it seems to be something you NEED to take with you when you visit there .
And to make it more interesting feathers , not plastics , black plastics get about 1 bite to 6 or 7 , this is likely do to the water temps. making the plastics not look real .
Here’s a couple custom blue, blue , blue jigheads I did today ,,,junebug head, crystal blue body and blue bucktail..
I know the eggs are, but not sure about the fry. At least the ones I have seen up close and personal weren't...:highfiveQuote:
