Johnny you and Jeff be careful with that toy, it has a way of taking your fishing time away! LOL You spend more time looking than fishing. EB

Headed to Gibson Yesterday decided to do some spider rigging. We caught fish all day long lots of 9 inch fish though, we ended up keeping 24 nice fish with biggest weighing 1.80. The fish were in 8-12 ft fishing 6-8 ft deep. EB

EB. Were you fishing the ends of lay downs or brush piles? Sounds like they are starting to form congregations again. Time to go proselyte." fear me ye who dwell beneath the waves".......I wish!

Ciller we were putting the baits right in the middle of the brush! 16 baits gives you a pretty fair chance! EB

Wait a minute now EB. How do you put that many hooks in brush without hanging up all the time? Are you talking 2 rods with Alabama rigs or 16 rods? I have a lot to learn I think.

Probably spider rigging right over the top of the brush. 8 poles with two baits on each.

**Ranger09** · 09-26-2012, 07:38 AM

DrNip has the idea...Brian has taught me the technique and it works well. You can fish all those baits and hooks thru most wood without losing a hook or bait. But to become efficent with any technique you have to fish it...As EB will tell you a Kentucky Rig fishes this way much better for us than a Capps and Coleman.....first off having a 5/8 oz sinker on the bottom allows you to bounce the snagged hook off a limb making it wood freindly. Both rigs the Kentucky and Capps and Coleman have their places in Crappie Fishing and each catch fish, it just comes down to your personal preference and technique you are comfortable in fishing....Again I will fish them both depending on what structure I am fishing and EB will tell you the same I believe.....Ranger

Ranger is correct I have showed him this technique in action, the only thing I have to add would be the thickness of the brush. If it is big stuff such as big trees it works great, if it is smaller limb stuff its becomes more difficult. We use hooks and sinkers, no pre-tied rigs. The key is to tie your hooks only one inch from the main line, this keeps the baits verticle. The deeper we fish the heavier the sinker. 2-4ft-1/4, 6-12ft-1/2,12-20-3/4, 20+1ounce. Its funny when I guide this technique I will not let you grap the pole until the pole is hung so bad the tip is in the water, the reason is the fish sometimes get them unhung for you! EB
