• How to HAMMER farm pond crappie

    So in my never ending quest to help those that seem to want it , here is a simple and quick regular in these parts scenario and the How to hammer them farm pond crappie in such conditions . Note the sketch to simplify the instructional bla bla bla part .....
    Mind you this , the casts are long ones and you need a heavy float and we set the jig depth under a fixed float at about 3 foot below the float . We tipped the jigs with crappie nibbles because it was very simple to see you WOULD not get bit otherwise ......
    Of course some scouting is involved in these quests and fish may up and move on with the flick of the light switch , but to be sure when the school moves up on the flat , it is on like donkey kong as fast as you can get them out of the water !
    The fish were holding well in about 6 foot of water out in open water with no cover and the extreme wave action and added angler heavy twitching and slow dragging made them lose their fishee minds until the ice chest was full and it was time to say bye bye farm pond crappie , nice to meet ya .....
    Until further notice KABOOM is the word ya"ll

      Those would look very nice in my freezer. After you cleaned them of course. Very nice catch.

      Your "Artist Rendition" is quite impressive now all I need is a farm pond. Didn't think to try this on flats near the channel on The Rez, bet it would work there as well. You provide a simple solution to a too much wind day anchoring off and casting in.

      we have more high wind days out west of dfw than not and to be sure this scenario is often the ticket on them windblown days even on the big lakes , and besides all that casting way out there to them makes it way more fun to crank them back in from a long distance away

      thing is about farm pond crappie is they don't seem as affected by cold fronts or weather conditions as big lake ones. When you have a small lake like this one obviously filled with big crappie and most likely not near enough taken out it can lead to major KABOOM and loads o fun and filled coolers. WTG Outlaw!
