Let's start with a jig, and it don't matter what kind, any jig will do. Maribou, baby shad by Bobby Garland, it really don't matter.
From the boat, dock, rock or cliff......or the tree you might be sittin' in, it don't matter. Drop the jig into the water. Let it fall
all the way to the bottom without stopping. Reel the jig off the bottom, the line will tighten. Stop and let the jig stay at that
depth for 60 seconds. Don't move the jig at all, it will move a little bit without you doing anything cause it cannot help itself.
Now, reel the jig up one revolution or turn of the reel handle. Let it stay there for 60 seconds just like before. Are you paying
attention to the line/rod tip. A hit will happen without warning, expect it at anytime. Repeat this all the way up until you can
see the jig again. Now, move the rod over to your right or left 24 inches or two feet, whichever is more convenient for you.
Repeat all that you did in the last spot. Reel up one turn of the reel handle, wait 60 seconds then repeat. Slow.....yep, boring,
maybe...........depends on how serious you are about fising for crappie or how hungry you are for crappie. If your having fun,
repeat this as often as it takes to cover the area your fishing. Sometimes crappie will move a little ways to attack your jig, and
sometimes they want it right in front of their nose. You must fish to catch and trial and error is the only way we can figure out
just what they want and how they want it. I don't believe anyone is really a fish whisperer, but if I did......he/she would be my
hero. Hope this helps a little bit. I think I gave you a pennies worth of info, don't you? My thoughts are your gain. Really for free.
