Funny story: I went fishing @ a little lake in Corsicana Tx. that has a Looooooong fishing pier . . This particular day when I walk up to a spot on this pier I ask "anybody doing any good?" To a man I heard responses like nothing to brag about,they are slow today,Yesterday was great etc etc. Some guys were using Minnows others were using Jigs . I didn`t have minnows so all I could do was use Jigs.On my previous fishing trip I was using a Crappie Magnet Jig called "Therapist" purp & chartr it was left on my rod so I used it to start. On my very first drop I was rewarded with a very Nice one of the 12 " class. Forty five min to an hour later I was leaving with a Tx limit. As I was leaving I boastfully expressed "that`s it for me guys the state of Tx says I can`t catch anymore today yall have a Good one" at which time I overheard some one in a low voice utter Tear Yo A$$! suffice it to say color doesn`t matter until the fish say it does
When I was fishing Bardwell regularly color absolutely mattered in my experiences. One year It was Salt & Pepper and by the next spring I couldn't buy a bite unless it was Cajun Cricket. Here on Martin Creek and Murvaul it doesn't seem to matter. I catch fish on almost any color but my go to is like the jig Slewfoot showed, BadShad.
Just got mine in the mail today and plan to hit the crappie house at Gra ham real soon. These were tied by Steve Murphy on Hubbard Creek Reservoir, can't go wrong @$2.00 a piece. 325-513-3352
