But you can’t get that jig popping and twerking with a slip. When your fishing deeper than 4 foot use a longer rod homie.

I like a fixed bobber and usually switch to a 10' rod when fishing the deep stuff.
Just sayin

I’ve got a 12 ft graphite mr crappie rod that I can sling a jig a mile with even fishing 8ft deep. And I can make that dirty girl dance just how they like it from a distance. Slip bobber ain’t about that action like a fixed float.

It really, really sucks down here. My usual lake finally got down to pool about 10 days ago when I left to go to Alabama, of course it jumped 6' before I got home and was almost back down to pool again and now we're getting these storms. Since everything is so saturated it doesn't take much to cause a flood again and right now it's just wave after wave of downpours. I'd be surprised if East Fork doesn't go up 20' again. There are a few spillway lakes down here but even if they aren't flooded, they are mud holes.
On a happy note we did get a few fish in Alabama last week. Even down there the bite was pretty tough from all the fronts but on the last day the sun came out, temps began to rise and my bald spot was finally warm for an afternoon.
I look at those pics you guys post and am just amazed at the water color, I haven't seen anything that clear since before the lakes iced up in early January.

The gin clear water is kinda our nemesis up here some lakes are so clear you can see the bottom in nearly 20 fow. The zebra mussels they have changed the way I fished certain lakes over the past 10 years I’m always looking for dirty water or very weedy areas. The lakes with the clearest water the fish don’t hold to the wood like they used to they stay Literally up up in the thickest weeds they can find. There have been some benefits to the zebras our inland perch populations have exploded and our redears grow to impressive size feasting on the zebras.

Like Bigeyurk25 said if you ever get up fishing this way give a shout Id be glad to show you around around our strange local lakes. Plus I always enjoy learning new stuff from other fishermen from different areas seems as tho there’s always a different style or presentation I can pickup from others that I haven’t seen locally.

If you ever do make it up here I’ll warn ya in advance some guys here can attest to this. I’m disorganized clumsy and I cuss like a sailor but I’m fun to watch and I’ll have your cheeks hurting from laughing at me all day!

Good luck in the SW hopefully spring shows you guys a little mercy down there. If not it will be a good year for hunting mushrooms if your into that.
