i do this alot and catch fish.throw it out let it sink reel as slow as possible and tick it every few feet.works for me.but i also tight line and put them under a float
78mudbug,
you talking about putting a float at a certain depth and fishing straight down off the boat?
drift? troll? anchor?
just curious
trying to learn all i can

I do the same as mugbug especially under a float and very slow retrieve seems to work very well for me.Quote:

dino i usually put the float at a certain depth and cast it to where i think the crappie are and let it sit for a few seconds then reel it a foot or so and stop again all the way to the boat.i cast and retrieve more than anything though
The only way I fish is cast and retrieve, weather it's a tied jig or plastic. On the retrieve my pole is always dancing. That imparts the swimming motion that's so deadly. Try it close to the boat is clear water to see what rod action does to the jig, especially a marabou jig. Another trick if your using a spinning rear is to drop your index finger on your right hand while cranking with your left. Let the line hit you finger each time the bail brings it near your hand. This will momentarily speed up the jig and when the line releases from you finger the jig will stop and fall. This will impart a deadly action on your jig.

This is how i fish almost all my jigs also. I only Jig jig in winter threw the ice.Quote:

Green Carp fry up very nicely had a few this year already might get a few more tonight when i go out to try and pick up a few slabs. I know I will definitely hit the bream in the morning just hoping a few slabs along with themQuote:

I use a cast or "shoot" and retrieve on all my dock rockets and they are hand tied straight tails(multiple materials) and the crappie around here only complain when it's too late for them(just before they disappear into the live well up yonder). Their complaints do not hinder their taste at all by the way...ask PawPaw Gene about those awsome little spinners he ties up. those things are working very well for me by the way Gene. Another cast and retrieve marvel produced in the c.c mind tank....thanks again for the spinners PPG......brimQuote:

Weather has been so bad here this spring, I can't remember one like such. I didn't fish the late winter bite just knowing I catch up in the spring, well what you know, mother nature cooked up a dandy spring. I guess there's always summer. Keeping my fingers crossed.
