Thread: Moving to Harker Heights

Hey Everyone,
Harker Heights is right outside Ft. Hood in Killeen. I will be stationed there while I finish up contract. I will be getting there the first week of February, just in time for spring crappie season kick off. I have small 12' Jon boat, that I will probably bring with me. I usually use Kalin's John Deer green curl tail grub. What do all of you use for the area? Sizes, colors, etc.

Really I can't tell much other than what I will be doing. Spring to me means relaxed fishing as I use a small 1/32 oz Roadrunner and fish it long lining. I just cast it out to the back and take off with the troll motor running some place between .4 and .8 MPH. Have been doing this for Fall and Spring fishing for crappie since the late 1970's.
I get the unpainted heads and paint and tie them myself. We do extreamely well doimg this, but I also make a ton of 1/16 oz jigs that guys around here do great with. My favorite early color jigs is Chartreuse/Blue/Chartreuse amd after the water clears a little the same will do, but also add some other colors to the hunt.
