My “kabooms!” have been more of a mild “pop” lately. Now I gotta go buy pipe cleaners!
Crappie ketchn is all to often WAY to complicated .
The list of you have to have to ketch them gets longer daily.
So keep in mind this about that .
All to often we get into ketch up …….yes I said ketchup
ketched up in you must use this or that to get bit
or if you don't have this or that its not gunna end well
this boat , that graph ,this rod ,that reel ,that line ,THIS jig ?
Well to be sure THIS jig is pretty simple and hurt them pretty well right off the shore .
My bud wrapped a red/orange pipe cleaner around a number 6 ballhead no paint
NO scent added NO nibbles and just dropped them .
He said to me and I quote "I just made a huge joke out of my tackle bag "
he presented them in a falling back to him pattern in 25 fow yesterday
his best of the trip was slightly over 2 lbs .
So as you troll along thru the pages and pages of what you need to ketch a crappie .
remember this , it don't have to be WAY to complicated to go ketch dinner .
KABOOM is the word yawl
p.s. 20 mph north wind ,bluebird day and high barometric pressure
go figure right …..

Most of us overthink things, human nature. Good diy option too, nice fish.

Reminds me of the time a fellow used a piece of mop! That was Ernest Patty from Texas.
I’m with Skeet, we are great over thinkers!

I don't overthink my live minnow under slip cork. Only thinking is sliding the bobber stop sometimes.

If you want to stay with basics you just use a hook, a minnow and a weight with a cane pole. If you to complicate that rig you add a float to it.
But it is hard to find the crappie suspended 40'-50' deep in 70' of water with that rig.
I'm old and started out way too many years ago using a cane pole I cut and worms I dug up out of the back yard. I mainly caught catfish from the river. I prefer the current complications even through it usually takes me a year to learn how to use each new piece of equipment I buy.

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.
