nice to see you are still nailing them MT

The wind and rain were stirring up the water and the crappies were biting. Working throught the weeds with a small jig and tube produced a fish on almost every cast, but many were small. I switched to a roadrunner with a two and a half inch gulp minnow, and that kept the smaller fish off, but I was missing many strikes. I then switched to a cordell rattle bait with two trebles on it and got a way better hooking percentage. I got a lot less bites, but the fish I got were keepable sized. Not huge slabs, but fine for metro area lakes
What is in my bucket today?

Looks like pretty decent eaters to me.
good fish what size was that cordell rattle you caught them on thanks bill
Hi bill, don't know the exact size, I think its the smallest one, mabye 1.5 or 2 inches?
I would guess the best thing would be to find out the sized baitfish the fish in your area are chasing, and try to match it!
