!/32 Oz Roadrunners Including What We Used Last Weekend

[skiptomylu]

The top one was responsible for most of our crappie last weekend, but also used and caught some on the second one down too. I can't wait to try the rest and especially the bottom 2 as I know the middle one will work well!

Those are some nice looking roadrunners. What size willow blades are you using?

[skiptomylu]

Thank you! Size #0, but if a different brand it is a #00. I use Worth Blades.

Are you casting/trolling or both Skip? Very nice ties btw.

Really nice jigs. I am a big marabou fan because the way it moves in the water. The fish seem to like your jigs very well. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Thank you guys! ehall I am trolling them at .8 MPH. And I am oh so careful to know what water depth I catch the first few in so I can try to live at that depth of water all day or maybe even for weeks sometimes.

Well like you I am also a huge marabou fan! All one really needs to do is be in their boat and just hang a jig over in the water so they can watch it a little bit. Stuff looks like it's swimming! Have been a fan since the 1970's at least! Thank you!

Skip what's was your water temp down there when you were catching? Approximately how much line do you let out when trolling?

[skiptomylu]

Water temp was like 55 and I just make a good cast back and probably any where from 20' to 30' from my rod depending on where I am sitting. If I go with him I sit I'm back fishing and let him do all the work for a change, LOL! He just got this new to him boat last year and all new stuff as in TM and electronics. He lets his out less than I do, but I also know even back 30' it's not going to run very deep and I depend on them coming up and getting it. If in the back on the boat you could have just a little line out (like 15' or so) and they still hit it.

the 1/32 is in my thinking a very forgiving bait because it stays up off the bottom and out of most of the grass where a 1/16 will not do that at slow speeds.

Those are nice Skip, I like the top 3. Chart/Blue is always a good color here.
