Welcome aboard, HJ! Monks Crappie is a great place to get jigs: Bobby Garland Baby Shads in various colors, and Kalin's 2" twist-tail grubs have great action. I learned about that place here, not too long ago!

Welcome from central Virginia! You can now order direct from Southern Pro, haven't checked their on-line prices, though. Monk's has a great selection of crappie fishing tackle and baits and you will not beat his service anywhere!Quote:

Spent yesterday morning on Northwest River. Got to the water around 5:00 AM and found myself in the middle of a bass fishing tournament. By the time I paddled to the areas where I had my previous success's, the spots were taken. Not wanting to be a pot licker, I paddled on down and worked the banks throwing Road Runners and Beetle spins. Didn't have much luck and kept getting hung up, depth was only a couple of feet. Switched to a Bitsy Minnow, and it was Katy bar the door! I had great luck with the brim and smaller bass, but could not get a crappie to the kayak. I lost more fish than I could count, but the lure was working so well I kept throwing it. The lure was brand new, and the hooks seemed sharp, so I'm not sure what was happening. Perhaps I was trying to bring them in too quick? I ended up fishing by a duck blind and during a retreive, I stopped to swat a mosquito. When I restarted my retreive, I found I was hung up, which surprised me because I thought it was a floating lure. I only have 4 pound test on my reel, so I started paddling over to the blind. All of a suddend my lure started moving and my rod bent over double. When I got the fish to the boat, I was shocked to see how big this bass was. Never figured such a little lure would catch such a big fish. Tried to lip him and as I'm pulling him out of the water, it shook and back in it went. Still hooked up, so I reel him back and now I see both hooks are in his mouth. After a few attemts to get my fingers on him again, I tried to grab him with a plastic fish grip. True the the fisherman's code, the line broke and I watch my bitsy minnow swim off with this incredible fish. Sorry, no pictures to post and I'd hate to guess at how big it was.........but I'd almost swear there were hull numbers painted on it's side :Doh:. Man, what a day.............no dinner though. In any event, I can't wait to get out there again. I wil pick up some different types of plastic to try so thaks again for the tips!
