Well it took about a hour and a half today,my front graph quit on me so I was handicap today.Maybe the crappie just felt sorry for me...lol Here's a limit all in one side of the livewell.They were caught on a carolina rigged jig,in 38 ft. of water by the Dam on Lake Fork.It was breezy out there today fish were biting good though.Only saw one other boat today where I was fishing,so hope this get's y'all fired up to get out there![image]  Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/image][image]  Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/image][image]  Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/image]This jig has caught over 100 crappie!

How do you rig a carolina rigged jig? Probably just like it sounds? Yes Sir. I'm using 10 lb. line,put a 1/4 oz. bullet weight i like brass,then a small swivel,,then a 10 to 14 inch 10 lb. leader & attach your jig to it with a loop knot.Fish it vertical just off the bottom ussaully 1 1/2 to 2 cranks off the bottom.It really keeps the bait under you especailly on the windier days.Most electronic's will pick up both the weight and the jig under the boat & you can actually see the bait going up and down under the boat.Hope this helps you all...Now Go to Catch'in!

Tony....you say that you were Carolina-rigged..but were you still vertical? Yes,,,You drop the bait down with a short pitch,allow it to hit bottom watching your line when it stops.Your on bottom then just reel it up 2 cranks and hold it.That Easy,when you feel the tap sit the hook hard & Fast! Then reel up your fish 1.2.3...lol One other tip hold your rod tip down towards the water,that way when you get a bite you can get a much better hook set.
