Vacation week 9/11 crappie

[Lance34]

On vacation this week and about to head to MS to go fish.  Got out started yesterday about 7am.  WT was 76-78, lake elevation was 1115.00 and water clarity was slightly stained.  Still minnow rigging along main river flats in 11-13 fow and about 9 feet deep.  Being overcast they were more spread out and not grouped up in the shade.  Also they full and being finicky to bite.  There’s a lot of shad as usual right now and makes them not want to commit fully.  You catch one be prepared to get slung with poop all over you.  lol…. They full of it! 

Stuck with it and caught a lot.  Ended with 13 before needing to head home.  Setup was BnM 16ft PST’s, 1oz Pico Lures / Vanguard Terminal Tackled double minnow rigs I tie up.  Caught a lot on a 1/16oz chartreuse Pico scope eye jig head and just a minnow as my bottom hook.  They liking a little color with that minnow.  Kind of like a crappie nibbles.  

Hopefully have pics to share from MS in a few days.

Good Fishing
