    Default No Fish,, HELP!!!!!! (please)

    Spent about 3 hrs on the lake today, fished brush piles and deep points on the main lake, there were fish stacked on the brush piles in 14 fow, all I had was jigs in 1/16th oz, could not get any takers, there is no place to get live bait around here, what are you guys catching them on? ? ?

    1/16th oz tube jig in black/ chartruese for me. It may have just been the cold front that had them shut off. A lot of times early in the year thats all it takes

    Hey g.mc.crappie king here.well im not sure where your fishing so lets say lk.of eygypt,GARLAND,its a minnow imatateing bait fished on 4 or 6lb.tst thrown up over weeds 1/32nd.jig head if they are biteing youll catch fish.Also red head chartruse tails mabey with silver flakes fished under bobber or slow retrieve gets good results on crab orchard.fish slow and small early go bigger as water warms up one more thing you will get more bites on smaller diameter lines4lb. 6lb. are perfect yes you will lose a few more jigs but the payoff is worth it.good luck,(g.mc.crappie king)
