Crappies in Subdivision Pond
Went out yesterday for two hours again using my fly rod but this time I brought along a spinning rod, a new Papala reel and the new Ugly Stick 61/2′ light spinning rod. A great combination. You don’t have to spend a lot to get a great combination. For the average fisherman this combination is excellent. The fly rod with the plastic silver minnow was not the best combo today so I switched to the spinning rod. I first tried a in-line spinner, chartuse with red and caught two crappie but after many casts. I switched to a beetle spin combo, gold, with a blue 21/2″ ribbon tail grub. I got several taps but only two hookups. The crappie were hitting short, probably grabbing the tail of the grub. I then switched to a silver beetle spin but with my small black and white plastic minnow. That was the ticket. I started catching fish but SUPPERTIME! Had to stop so as not to create a problem in the household. Well, I’ll leave you now, happy fishing!
