When I find the Crappie slowing down a bit, I usually head to Juniper Cove Marina. I don't usually catch a bunch of slabs but I usually get a few big ones. Lately I have been using a drop shot rig with a polymer knot along with a #4 and a #6 Gamakatsu hook.

But one thing that is funny with this set up is that a lot of times it feels like dead weight. Once I even thought I was hung up but no, there was a Crappie on the hook.

Juniper Cove Marina is on Lake Whitney and they have an indoor fishing barge (old style Crappie House).

Thanks for the post, I know that dead weight feeling well. While at Texoma I had a conversation about Whitney. If I can make myself drive past Aquilla, Whitney is next on my list of lakes to take crappie from.

A POLYMER Knot? can u demonstrate?


COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

It's just like a palomar knot but with extra "mars". You know, poly(many) mer(part). A palomar is also a pigeon roost?

I hate that autocorrect feature!

do you know where those 3 cedar trees on the south shoreline are to the right of the ramp? I used to put in there all the time...

Going way back up in that creek(Cedar Creek) used to be one of my favorite places. Long time ago there were many barges up there.
