Saturday morning -- water temperature 81 degrees, caught 25 in 1 hour 20 minutes. Found a big school in 13 FOW, others were in 20 FOW.
Sunday morning -- water temperature 81 degrees, caught 30 in 3 hours. Most fish were caught in 16 - 18 FOW. North wind forced me to change my plan and I fished some spots that haven't been as productive this summer.

All fish caught on this tiny hair jig that is really gotten beaten up:



I knew I needed 29 fish to get to 1000 for the year, so my target was 30. Data from my mobile fishing app:

Yeah! ! ! What Bonz said. . .😁😁😁

Ask and you shall receive ... pictures:

Went out for a quick trip this morning before work (9/13). Caught 25 in less than 1.5 hours. Water temp was 80 degrees. I caught most of these fish in 13 FOW on either side of that brush you see in those 2 live scope pictures. The first pic is on the near side of the brush and the 2nd pick is on the far side of it. Most people would focus on that standing brush but I've fished this spot enough to know that the fish like to sit on the bottom on either side of it. I caught almost all of the fish by pitching out and letting my jig drift over the top of the fish. All fish were caught on that tiny 1/32 oz white/chart hair jig.

One final pick as I was getting ready to clean them:

nice slabs!!!!

Nice job. I will need to target some shallower brushpiles.


could we get a picture of that jig ?


thanks

Sure, I actually took a picture of a new one and the one beaten up by catching close to 100 crappie on it. This is my last one -- I don't even know the brand -- I buy it at a local tackle shop and obviously need to make a trip to get more. I only use 2 jigs all year long -- Thumb Chubby in ghost minnow color for 10 months out of the year and this hair jig in Aug/Sep when fish are feeding on small fry shad.

Am I just dumb or is the bottom jig a Feather ?
I need to find some very pale chartreuse hair or feathers and make some of those


thanks

It does look like a feather, now that you mention it ... but that was just the way the hair laid out before it got wet. It is a hair jig.

I actually just ran to the store to get more since I was down to my last one. I then found it online -- but they are out of stock.

Color is called 'White perch'

Solid post with a nice mess of crappie!

Great Post! Love that lake.

Great post!
Now that the water has cooled down some and water levels are up, I’m looking forward to heading back out there some time soon!

I want to get down there and dock shoot so bad LOL I hope I can make it down there before my wife has our son in November.

Now THAT`S what I`d call GITTINUM!! WTG capt

Heck of a report Ron, and thank you again for using our tackle. Looking at those fish pictures, nobody is starving at your house!!

Ron, what app are you using to track your fishing? Great catching there!!!

There is a little bluetooth button that I attach to my life jacket. The way you use it is:

* Start the trip on my phone
* When I catch a fish I just push the button. That logs the time and location where I caught it.
* At the end of the trip, end the trip on my phone.

Everything is then pushed to their website and I can later look at my individual trips and also get stats for all my trips for the month, year etc...

NOW that`s slicker than snot on a doorknob
NOW that`s slicker than snot on a Doorknob rite dere!! Gotta have one!

That's great! Thanks

Jigum jig used to make some using the feather like that, I think he called them halo magic. with the feather like that it looks like a minnow or shad tail, because it stays splayed out when wet. most people throw that part of the feather away, but really its the best part.
