It's hot, it's miserable, but the crappie will still bite! Use this method when the bite gets tough! It's 100% guaranteed to work as long as you apply these strategies!
Try a Red and White Mini Tub Jig. I soak mine in Gulp Juice. I was catching Crappy one after the other on July 3rd & 4th in Northwestern Wisconsin. Also a Beetle Spin works great. Both methods I just reel back super slow with a mild twitch. I catch every thing with this method. Best success I had was a 23” LM Bass on a Red & White mini tub jig & a 28” Pike all fishing for Crappy, Bluegill & Pumpkinseed. My favorite catch & release are the Pumpkinseed. The hit hard and make you think you got a respectable Bass.

@dextermccray5449 bottom jigs are the curly tails. Any curly tail would probably work but these are shelton's 2" blue pearl and 2" chartreuse firecracker. The fuzzytails are also shelton's white pink and yellow/chartreuse
5'6 on the left and 6'6" on the right. I recommend going cheap with this strategy. I have a very expensive rod sitting at the bottom of a local lake due to negligence.
Thanks for this summer time tip
@@jessimoore5831 you're very welcome. Catfish video being shot this weekend. They're on a tear right now
Enjoyed the video!👍🎣🇱🇷
@@scottmyer2881 thank you!
Nice tips on the drop shot.... That's the problem with summertime fishing
Those dang small crappie!! I don't know where the big boys go to hide.
@@ppdrawings tend to be in stumps and larger logs on the bottom. I just don't have the electronics on my kayak to search them out.
@@gassfishing5764 I have the livescope and still can't find them during the summer months

Man I haven't used a tube jig in years! It was my first jig. Loved them!
Great advice!
When I drift fish I use a 1/4 oz on lowest jig, a 1/16 middle, 1/32 top…chicken jigs.
Have you ever caught 3 at once?
Great video. Why do you use a drop shot weight instead of a heavy 3rd jig? With the movement of the boat the hook would be up and somewhat weedless.

What exact baits are you using on the curly tail and hair jig?

The fuzzytails are also shelton's white pink and yellow/chartreuse
What was the pole lengths used?
5'6 on the left and 6'6" on the right. I recommend going cheap with this strategy. I have a very expensive rod sitting at the bottom of a local lake due to negligence.
