itty bitty slab slay r ....double silver rainbow , for some reason I have yet to make up my mind about why we have lots and lots of tiny fish everywhere this year in multiple locations . why would there be so much fry going into the winter months is beyond my understanding of mother nature . fry in most cases rely on a food chain of micro organisms that make up most of the diet in little itty bitty fish and in the colder waters on the fall and winter months these are not readily available in large amounts needed for schools of fry . according to the fisheries biologist this is why the "fall" spawn occurs very infrequently in crappie. you see mother nature has a way of knowing the best time for young to be born to ensure the best chance for survival .
anyway all that said we have been hurting large crappie in several locations with ...itty bitty baits , and to top it off in some cases you cant even get bit with a larger bait .it goes against all I have always heard and I have not come up with the who what or why ....
but if all else fails ...give them a try
this bait in particular put a classic lip rip on them recently .....
