sry im a crappie noob but i learn fishing techniques real quick...how is this vertical jigging done and would it be any good for a kayak fisherman like myself???

pull up to vertical structures like trees, timber, and pillars. my friend does that all the time with a kayak.

cool cool..dude nice pics im guessin bass would be tempted to hit crappie jigs huh

i just hold it pretty still, and if you're in the right zone then they'll go for it

so jsut let it sink to the bottom and slowly work it back up?

pretty much it

Stop it it every 12 inches for a moment or two. If you get bit, mark your line with a Sharpie or what I like to do is put a piece of electrical tape across the spool to repeat that depth.

Once you find the depth as stated then you can figure out how much movement is needed. I like you drop my rod tip in a short quick motion. Some people raise theirs. i will also flip the jigs out and let them float back into position for fish that will hit the jig on the way down.

Crappie fishing other then the spawn is about depth and structure. A good fish finder is very helpful in locating structure, finding fish and determining depth. Vertical jigging works best on crappie because they usually won't pursue a fast moving lure nor go too far from whatever structure they are holding on. One advantage to the fisherman is that crappie seldom live alone so if you catch one there is usually more to be caught. The trick is to put the jig right on their nose then you will get fish!

cool cool thanx alot guys

When I was a boy my uncle taught me to slow jig minnows. The patience was painful to learn for a lad such as myself. Then one summer at PK State Park I was penniless and no bait. So I walked around to all the other anglers and begged their deceased minnows. Then, styrofoam cup of dead minnows in hand I proceeded to slow jig . Pretty soon I had quite a stringer and some unhappy folks who had earlier generously handed out dead bait. I'd forgotten all about that until right this minute.

lol so jig head and slide a dead minnow on there??
