Lake McBride (IA)

Dale Weaver reported catching Crappie using the Vertical Jigging Shallow (0-9') technique and Bobby Garland 2" Baby Shad on Lake McBride. Additional comments from this report: "Most of the fish we found were in anywhere between 3'-7' of water. Vertically jigging between the vegetation seemed to work the best with a bobby garland/mr. crappie skirt"

Reported by
Ed Bernard

Stockton Lake

Ed Bernard reported catching Crappie using the Vertical Jigging Shallow (0-9') technique and Bobby Garland 2" Baby Shad on Stockton Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Crappie are trying to come to bank, try the High Point area, fish coves in shallow water throw to the bank. Cold weather has pushed them back off the bank, holding in 10 to 20 foot water, but on warmer days they are moving to shallows. Purple/Black and Red/Chaurtuse colors working best depending on light levels."

Lake Murray (SC)

Omnia Community Member reported catching Crappie using the Vertical Jigging Shallow (0-9') technique and Strike King Mr. Crappie Lightning Shad on Lake Murray. Additional comments from this report: "Hit as many docks as you can, old docks with poles tend to hold the bigger females. Jig around the poles, fish will feed upwards so work medium to high in the water column."
