It was so cool this afternoon I decided to hit the office for a hour or so. As I walked in from the parking lot I noticed several large earth worms laying on the concrete. I thought, why not. Picked up a few and tried them on a jig head. Not a bite until a small drum couldn't resist. Hmmm, cut bait time. Scaled and filleted the drum with the skin on and cut it into small strips. Put it on a small 1/64 oz jig head and the fun began. Caught 19 Crappie in an hour with several (6) nice keepers. Another member was there at the same time but couldn't get bit on jigs.

Save your drum for legal cut bait.


Hint: The bait will fall slower if you step on it.

HAHA! Are you just bored with regular crappie jigs Ernest? I do like the ingenuity.

You're making the purists squirm Ernest! lol!

It's good to see that you're finally coming clean and telling everyone what 'bait' you've been using for years now. BTW, save me some of that

Look in the freezer!
