pepp1,

I've noticed that everytime I go crappie fishing out here that the crappie bite well in the morning and late afternoon. I'm use to fishing serious structure so fishing out here was a shock. I tried my go to jigs. A 1/16oz horsehead jig tipped with a wax worm. Best colors for me are a black head and charteuse. or orange head with charteuse or white tube.. If you are fishing from the bank try a slip float and two 1/32 or 1/16 oz jigs (hair or plastic) and slowly twitch it on the way it slowly. Also, dont be afraid to use a crappie nibble or wax worm. Might get lucky and catcha few nice bluegill or redear. What lakes do you fish? I'm wanting to go some other lakes here before I get stationed out in Korea. Hope the info helps you out.
