Crappie in the pits

[h2ojohn]

Has anybody been hitting the pits for crappie? I've been a few times and haven't done any good. Wondering if it's slow or if I just stink at fishing lol

They have some monsters in those  pit more size than numbers

I have been but it's been a little slow so far. I've tried vertical jigging nice and slow. Get yourself some Strike King crappie thunders and fish in 10-20 feet of water. Once you find them, your on them. In about a month I like to switch over to just a standard jig head and flip tail grub. I couldn't explain why but crappie thunders seem to work when the waters colder. I like electric chicken, blue/white, and black/chartruse.

What pitts are you hitting? I just moved to the area. I grew up on grand and still fish that a lot since I am still catching a bunch. But need to try and find the pitts that have crappie.
