Members RogueAgent Posted October 12, 2014 Members Posted October 12, 2014 Found a good crappie bite near the dam around docks at dusk. My cousin and I caught a dozen in hour all over 10" on shad colored Larew Long John minnows on an 1/8th oz jig head. The bites were all solid, it felt like the jig was hitting a dock cable as I was swimming it slowly a few feet below the surface.
fishinwrench Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Can't argue with success, but I'm curious why a 1/8oz. head if the bites were only 2' down ? Caught a big ol' barn door slab up on a shallow flat last Thursday myself. Fought like a white bass too. Surprised me.
Members RogueAgent Posted October 12, 2014 Author Members Posted October 12, 2014 That is my go to bait for Whites and we were trying to get on them on the windy side of the lake. 1/8th oz seems to work good for me in that situation. We couldn't get a white bite so we took cover from the giant drug boat waves and headed toward the north side between point 2 and the dam. I switched to my bait caster and caught a few 14.999" bass on a black buzz bait. Meanwhile, my cousin started getting bit on his crappie tube. I dropped the baitcaster and since it was getting late I didn't want to retie.
fishinwrench Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Gotcha I certainly wasn't expecting a crappie out over a bare shallow flat, much less a giant one.
