Made it out to the spot with just me and my youngest daughter. She caught one fish, threw him back, and retired to relaxing in the boat seat. I started making jigs and had one tied on. Texas toast with orange powder coated head (learned on youtube) and orange feathers (learned watching SK's videos). Only fish I kept were over 12 and these guys hammered it. SO gratifying and fun. Wish I could have went out today but the wife is having surgery Wed and we had a lot to do to be ready. Fun part is I still have a LOT of brush piles I've found, rocks, and places I haven't even stopped to fish yet. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/01/full-87185-35296-crappie.jpg)

Sure is fun catching fish on your own jigs! Be careful, it is addicting LOL Ain't that the truth! Many times I would be up at 2:00 am tying jigs before getting ready to go to work. I bet I have close to a thousand jigs that are in my boat that I have tied myself.

Nice haul. That has to be a great feeling catching a bunch of fish on baits that you have made. Congratulations and nicely done.

How about a picture of the jig? Texas Toast is one of my favorite colors!
Congrats!
