Crappie

October 2nd, 2007, 4:27 pm

What is the word on crappie (some say specks), minnows or jigs? I have always had better luck fishing jigs but some folks wouldn't fish with anything but live bait. It is getting right in the crappie waters and I was just curious what you guys thought. Maybe GULP minnows?!?!?!?

I have had good luck with jigs, or jigs tipped with minnows. Either trolling or pitching. Minnows under a cork is good too.

Minnows or hall flies for me, I use the jigs to find them and the minnows once i'm in them. One night in the 40's to low 50's will have them biting in the ochlockonee.

In what part....there ain't no water.

I know you're prbably talking about Hwy 90 and closer to the lake though.

That is exactly where i'm talkin about, even though i've had decent luck all the way up past I10 when I can get there in my boat.

Took a boat ride on the river on Wednesday afternoon and there is plenty of water maybe even a bit high. Made 25 casts caught a dinker bass on a fluke.
