    Default Cold water crappie


    What is your go to color and jig head in winter. I like to keep it natural as possible and light 4lb line 1/32 or 1/64. Slowwwwwwwww Minnows always great winter but I love that jig bit anytime.

    I start with the same setup I use all the rest of the time. 1/16-3/16 oz jig depending on depth and wind and a green chartreuse tube on #6 sufix clear line.

    1/16th ounce chartruse jig red eyes pink and chartruse 2 inch tube fished on 6lb stren gold line .
    My reason for the pink color is if you have ever noticed the fish you catch out of cold water have a pink tint to them . I just figured then the bait fish will be the same way .

    See ya Kevin ><)))*>
    Excellent

    Man that's what I'm talking about...nice slabs, when you use 1/32 & 1/64 fishing deep water do you add a split shot a foot above jig or leave it alone just let it fall. I as split shot sometime

    +1 except I use a "baby shad" type plastic called Slab Bandit in "Texas Toast", "Sour Grape" and "Blue Truse". Of course our water doesn't get all that cold. These were from Thanksgiving morning in a dense fog...
