Great color for Muddy Water in jigs
Here is a great color for you to consider. For me the last two weeks in the muddy waters I typically fish the color has been very productive (water temps are really cold). Not anything really magic about the color scheme, but for whatever reason I have been catching quite a few crappie at Lake Stamford and Lake Hubbard Creek on it, with Lake Stamford being a very muddy, off colored lake.
The color is a knockoff of the "Electric Chicken" that crappie fisherman use alot throughout the country on tube baits. Try it if you tie jigs or I am sure if you purchase from the jig tiers we have on the forum, they either have it or can make it. Like I mentioned the color is not unique and many may already have it among their color selections.
"Electric Chicken" = Hot pink body/fl. chartruce tail -I have been combining with a chartruce head. I have tied it with just regular chartruce ball jigs or the road runner heads.
Wally Marshall has a new crappie thunder out that is very similar, with a pink body/chartruce tail and is promoting it with a chartruce road runner head.
Either jig seems to produce a maximum amount of contrast.
Water temps at:
Lake Stamford =46-48 degrees
Lake Hubbard Creek = 45 to 48 degrees
Lake Ft. Phantom Hill = 48-52 degrees. Electric plant no longer is running.
Good Luck and Good Fishing,
