Deep water jigs

[Crappiebrad]

I have a place that has fish 20 to 25 ft in 30ft of water so today i tryed pulling 1.8 ounce jigs i let line all way to bottom but i didn't really know how fast to troll to keep it in that range .would spyder rigging work better at that deep i also can do that.

I'd be Pushing jigs for fish that deep, especially if they weren't holding tight to cover.

Normally (for me) that would be with 1oz weights & a 1/16oz jig/plastic on a 2ft leader @ 1mph ... with 35ft of line out (at approx. 45deg angle) which would put the jig at around 21ft deep.

But, if they are holding tight/close to cover (and you have those cover spots marked) then Spider Rigging might be a better choice. And I'd probably switch over to Spider Rigging if I was Pushing jigs among a lot of fish & not getting any action, but I might slow my speed down & shorten the amount of line out (first) just to make sure they were not just ignoring the faster presentation.

We are quite successful side pulling 1/8 & 1/4 oz. jigs (without any other weight) over those depths all the time. Speed is between .6 & .9 mph. It's always amazing to me how far up the water column crappie (and other panfish) will go to get at a morsel of food.

I would sink a BIG tree in the area and one pole them right to the shallow water in my ice chest if I were you ….
less complicated and saves on fuel and a lot less to pay attention to ….
it could work you know

In the fall after turn over I use 1/8 and 3/16 once jigs when fishing in 20 to 25 FOW.
I slow troll the jigs at 0.3 to 0.5 mph using 6 lb. colored braid and a 4 lb three foot fluorocarbon leader.
The spinner is used on occasion with a small weight attached to the line.

I like how you did the Perch imitator. I use lime chartreuse / black and red in 90% of my soft plastic lures and sometimes add a dab of florescent orange too. That is an awesome color combination.

This what I call a Clown pattern Chartreuse green/Flor. orange.
Enclosed is the perch pattern I use.
