    Default No Troublemakers here


    When I'm after the gills
    and a crappie grabs my Creme worm
    they are just a BONUS in my book...

    Things started off bad today. Rain was supposed to let up but didn't. Last two trips to this pond, the gills were liken' those 1" tubes. Tried them for a hour, changing colors, but not a bump. With all the rain, thought maybe a natural worm would do the trick. Put on a 2 1/4" Creme angle worm on a 1/124 jig head and action right off the bat. Float was sinking, but kept missing or only hooking for a few seconds. Tried wacky rig but they wouldn't go for it. Cut it in half to downsize things and tried again. That did it. Fished between showers and got good hookups on these four.

    Ketchn,
    #2 was a bonus! You probably heard me laughing all the way down there in TX!Name:  DSC00495.jpg

    Those half worms kinda look like those magnet baits.

    Nice catch for your outing. Your experiments paid off. Sometimes a little less is better in the bait department.
