Really good week!!!!
I have to say that you have got it figured out on Greeson.
Beautiful lake. Nice mess of crappie too.
Man that looks awesome! If ya dont mind me asking, without giving too many of your secrets away which method were you using? Solo-pollin brush, long-linning, or spider rigging? Do not feel obligated to answer, I am just trying to figure this fall fishing stuff out.
I'm gonna guess he was doing none of the above. I'm betting he was "hovering", which is his method of slowly easing around a brush pile/boo condo with several poles down one side of the boat, which are rigged with slip bobbers. He might have down a little single-poling as well, while he was "hovering".
Btw, for those of you that don't know Jerry, because you're "newbies", he used to post on here all the time with his catches from Lake Greeson. Don't be fooled, not everyone can catch crappie on that lake like he does.
You can look at his past threads and see a few 3 pounders he's caught on that lake as well.
Matt, Jerry has had Greeson figured out for a while. He could sell lessons on how to develop brush piles. BTW, I have noticed Game and Fish stocking red ears in Greeson. My boy caught a couple of nice ones piddeling around on the banks last weekend. I love chasing those just about as much as crappie. Tell 'em thanks for me. DP
Looks like y'all been smokin em Jerry. Attachment 176882
Yep, we're hovering over brush piles and Bamboo Crappie Condos in 12 to 20-fow using small rosy reds, fatheads and shiners under 1/2" pencil style slilp floats on 10' BnM poles out of one side of the boat. We've been catching a few on jigs - tight-lined hair jigs and also casting solid body Bobby Garlands to the bottom and reeling up real slow. The water temps are still in the low to mid 70s but when they drop below 70 we'll catch a lot more on jigs, "on the fall".
