Wow, that is tiny. What is the jig weight and hook size? Never fails to amaze me how you ketch them always. Kaboom!
Is a hunter by golly
She is really more sparrow hawk than Parakeet for sure
Now mind ya she aint no lil tweety bird at all and is in fact a REALLY small jig offering .
She is what my bud calls a "Nano Fry" .
He sent me a couple to play with and they were so darn cute I just had to tie one on .
The fry are still in abundance in many locations I hit and to be sure the fall bite here is trying to come on but the fish still persist with finicky as heck most days .
Finicky crappie to a jig person can be frustrating and to watch them on one of them new livescope things swim up and turn around and swim off aint fun either .
So even though I was stuck on the bank and not really seeing what was up down there .I still kinda knew what was up down there . The local guy said he been there an hour and a half and hadn't got a single bite !
I said darn the bad luck and pitched out Miss Parakeet ….she settled and I set the hook .
KABOOM is the word yawl and I began the windmill effect on them there unsuspecting crappie fish
After I put about 4 or 5 in his box I tuned him up and had him pinch down his bait to super tiny as well and sure enough he was in the show right beside me just like that .
I left when he was in the teens on fish in his box and he said thanks about a bunch of times for the tips and fish ….and off to work I went .
Never underestimate the power of a tiny offering on crappie my friends
I only stayed an hour from 830 am to 930 am and the fish were holding about 10 foot deep in 14 fow , slightly overcast when I got there and sun shining when I left .
I changed to a larger jig by a quarter inch later and finished off my hour at over 30 fish with several that bent out my wire hooks escaping during this episode as well .
so maybe try a tiny bait next time you hear they aint biting ….
and yes the bites were ridiculous soft as well

Nice crappie and they were all caught in the top part of the mouth looks like.
Be safe and good luck fishing
Yep, that s why I am so excited about the custom jigs Pepop sent me in 1/32d. His jigs are works of art and these are the first ones I ordered in a small version. They are due tomorrow.

I liked your Lil Parakeet when I saw it last night. So did those nice sized white bass you introduced to it.
I seldom use anything larger than a 1/32nd or 1/64th. I add a split shot 5-12" split shot above them to get them down a little faster as I am somewhat impatient.
I like Pepop's 1/64th oz jigs myself. I have caught bluegill, catfish, crappie, white bass and a 6# largemouth bass using his 1/64th jigs. Sk ties some nice 1/64's as well. I know as he gave me some last year in the ketchn carrot design, which I used until I lost the last one.
Only thing I liked better was a 1/80 that I was given a couple of years back. Takes forever to sink but the fish loved it. And I am not talking about dinks, either. Nice sized crappie love these small jigs.
