    Default red orange time


    those of you that say or think color does not matter might want to consider this . I hit 2 different lakes yesterday and at BOTH lakes even though they are 60 miles apart the fish had a definite preference for a red back orange belly small jig . I used it in the singular fashion and tandem and even had a black on the top jig and a white on the bottom jig at one point . the black got off before I could get a photo .
    I tried natural , I tried bright chart , I tried chart blue ....the red orange seemed to be the ticket hands down
    hope you enjoy the photos and have a great day .....
    i only posted up the boat ride photos, i was on a public dock at the first stop about noon
    second lake was after work in the boat ...and YES tis the season yawl
    the BITE IS ON .....

    Easy to see the bait of choice with the same color on both jigs.

    Excellent crappie fishing! Up here, the seemingly hot color is pink/chartreuse. However, lately we've been having a hard time with numbers, no matter what we use! I'll the orange a go next time out.
