We caught crappie all last summer on blue ice and pearl white colored baits. Points and brush piles is where we had the best luck.

Slow retrieve under a slip cork, double jigs tied on a foot apart, red body with chartreuse tails, tipped with a crappie nibble. Threw back several but brought home 38 keepers between my 9 year old stepson and myself. And yes he outfished me with the same technique

Booyah BYCVS12GNT726 Covert Series - JC Special (1/2 oz) was used. Multiple Nate’s were attempted from the whopper plopper to larger spinner baits to wacky rigs during this fishing outing. We were in a small cove with a steady inlet of water but was also very calm. During this time we saw multiple shad in their spawn between 630 am and 1030 am. I switched over to the Booyah BYCVS12GNT726 Covert Series - JC Special (1/2 oz) at around 8am. Water temp was roughly 56 degrees with water depths in the area we were fishing between 2 feet and 12 feet. On the very first cast with the JC Special I took a very hard bite but was not able to set the hook. On the second cast I casted into about 6 foot depth water with about 3 1/2 feet visibility. I reeled my bait caster 3 times and let it sit for about 30 second and immediately took at bite. The hook set in the upper lip of a beautiful white bass. The product is an excellent product. We continued on using this product for the remainder of the day and proceeded to catch small mouth bass and a few nice sized carp as well. The product is durable, bright, and vibrant and attracts fish during the pre spawn and spawn.

Caught at missisenewa lake at approximately 9:30 am in 16 feet of water on a strike king thunder cricket in Chartreuse/white. Water was dirty and had almost no visibility and had a green algae film on top of the water. Fish was caught in a cove area on the lake. Water temperature was 72.3 degrees at the time of catch. Highly recommend the strike king thunder cricket when fishing for small mouth bass and large mouth bass on this lake because it has been a reliable bait that has caught many small and large mouth bass here in the last month or so. The thunder cricket is solid, cuts through weeds, brush, grass, and sticks, and rarely snags in these situations.

Caught at 12:40 in the afternoon using a night crawler Carolina rigged in approximately 5 feet of water. Water temperature was 73.8 degrees at the time of catch. The drums are biting like crazy for night crawlers at this time on the lake. This was one of the 4 drums we caught in a matter of 10 minutes in the same area.
