Hey jig pole pat - try blue/chart. at about 18" under the cork on a 1/32 next time you're at Chicot. (Of course, my wife uses purple/white and keeps up with me - but i just don't like using no girley...

Do any of you guys have any sucess with beetle spins?
I talked to a guy last weekend that said he really does well when the crappie move to the bank using beetle spins. I have never used them - I...

One other thing about the yo-yo's. You will notice that it has 2 notches, one has a deeper notch than the other. I always set in the "less deep" notch for crappie and the deeper one for catfish. ...

Rickinla,
We use 1/32 jig heads at Chicot under a lite cork or tite lining. We have found that blue, black, and or pumpkin, with chartreuse all work pretty well. Now and then purple and white.

Wow Rippa! That's a great post! Thanks for all the advise! And I admire your statement, " I just give the nod to stuff I believe in - sponsored by, or not."!
Please tell me more about "Outlaw poles...

Well guys, I did order and receive some of the bait sacks from Jonesville. The people there are real nice and were real quick with my shipment! Maybe whoever is in charge of advertizing on this site...

I am interested in getting set up to jig pole fish. I have always used conventional rod and reels for my crappie fishing - in fact, due to the heavy cover, most of the time we used 5' rods. Now,...

First off, if there is some archived threads on this subject that you would rather me read, lead me to it.
Jig tying is something that has interested me for some time now, but I just have never...

Oh Boy! Now you guys have my attention! Jig Tying!
How can I learn? But first, if you guys don't mind, I will start a new thread. :)
As well as one on jig pole and jig pole fishing - something I...

Thanks again La. Bill!
Hoping you didn't take anything I said the wrong way - I am just trying to figure things out.
We are very fortunate indeed to have this forum! Especially where we have...

basinfisher - Beware buddy!
At certain times of year you can set yo-yo's at night there, but please read your regulations. If it's like in the past, they are very strict there and often times I...

Thanks Bill!
Something my wife (best fishing buddy!) and I were discussing and I'm sure you can get us straight on: If the fish move to deeper water when it gets cold, why is it they will surface...

Well guys/gals, after being on Cotile Lake now for 5 months, I still have not figured out how to catch the crappie there yet! I will have to admit though, after a few unproductive trips, the wife and...

Pooch! Thanks for that info and the web address. My barber gave me one of the "bait sacks" a couple of months ago that came from there, and I have been wanting to get some more - but I just don't...

benthook, did you get a chance to go to Chicot yesterday?
I was a little late reading this post, but probably couldn't have helped much. Though I have fished the lake a lot, I have not fished it...

Tommy, I heard the same thing - but I have also talked to some that have had good results. I suppose it depends on the lake, etc. To be on the safe side, I just tried mine around some stumps. I used...

I have just come in from the lake.
Ranger, the sack is made of nylon mesh. It will hold a coffee cans worth I guess. In fact, it is tied off right now, full of cotton seed meal range cubes that I...

My barber gave me a "bait sack" to set out in the lake at home. It was the first I had heard of them (but I don't get around much, :( ). He told me to put a heavy rock in it, fill it with dog food,...

Hope all our crappie buddies made it through the storm ok!

The little lake at the rest area is called Dubbison. It was stocked with fish. At some times of year, fishing there can be pretty good. But the down side is the ski boats and sea-do's!
Chicot park...

Thanks Bill! We look forward to enjoying the forum!

My wife and I have just moved to Cotile lake in central La. Wondering if any other members fish this lake?
Thanks!
