Crappie Fishing Jigs |
|
Many people swear by live bait only, but I
use jigs unless I am anchored and still fishing in one place. A jig is
quicker since you don't have to change it after catching a fish, and it
doesn't die. I have often caught my limit of 30 crappie on one jig. If
you get into a concentration of fish, it is much faster with a jig. It
is also cheaper!
When dabbling, drifting or trolling, you give your jig plenty of movement. A minnow becomes better when you are not moving your bait since it will swim under the cork and entice a crappie to hit. In fairly clear water, the smaller the jig the better. A white or yellow hair jig seems to work best. In stained water, the combo jigs like Hal Flies seem to catch more fish. A favorite is the red head, green body and yellow tail version. It is a little more bulky in the stained water and easier for the crappie to find. In the dingiest water, a chartreuse jig with a red head has worked well. Clark's Hill is a huge lake offering lots of water for everybody. You can find muddy to clear water on just about any April day. Somewhere, there are the perfect conditions for you.
