I live in TN, fish a small lake, stained water. I've considered a jig with some Powerbait Crappie Nibbles, very small Willow style spinners. Does pork frogs work ok with Crappie? They look kinda big for a normal crappie.
In heavy yet very low tree cover should I use a bobber or bump the bottom?
As in color...a nastly little green jig or a chartreuse type? Maybe even a bright yellow? The water is warming, the fish appear to be spawning. They are hittin well around 3 feet. Bass and Crappie. Of course crappie is what I'm after the most.
Sorry for all the questions,
Mike
