I was pointed here by BleuGhill after a post he made on another website looking for some materials. I have read through a number of posts and I'm definitely impressed with the ingenuity and creativity of those hand tying their own jigs. I wish I had stumbled on this forum a few years ago. I had to gleen some techniques from the fly fishers (clousers are jigs right?)
A little about me I guess would be in order. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and fish mostly inshore for snook, redfish and speckled trout. I also fish from a kayak and made the journey to Lake Tarpon to try my hand at crappie fishing. This crappie fishing will be a challenge I see and looking forward to trying the methods and techniques that have been posted here as well as a few of the jigs that BleuGhill kindly sent to me.
I’m looking forward to learning from those who generously post their ideas and creations.

This is indeed the best site on the net for Crappie fishing, You may want to check out this "Stickie" FOR SOMEONE NEW TO TYING For Someone New To Tying There are a lot of good ideas there.
Thanks guys. I've been tying a few years now, but I don't have the technique yet for the smaller jigs. The color patterns seem be much more dynamic than what I tie for saltwater, so I guess I'll just have to capture all of the pics I can and just start copying.
