Ronnie Wooten and I met at the ramp on Normandy at 6:00am to do a Crappie Trip and we had a great time even with the wind blowing 15mph plus. We found all of our Crappie in 8 feet of water or less. The 14 that we caught weighed 12lbs plus we had 1 Largemouth and 3 Small Spots as well.  We both were throwing 1/32oz  jigs under a float.  I like the  VMC 1/32-1/16th and the 1/8th oz sizes depending how deep the Crappie are holding. VMC Neon Moon Eye jigs are a  aspirin head design with 3D Holographic Eyes, and of course they have a super sharp VMC hook www.vmchooks.com.  This year I’m using the Sufix 832  6/2 Yellow Braid for extra visibility (when not using a float)  and it’s strong enough to pull most of your jigs free when you get hung (which you will) and comes off the reel super smooth www.sufix.com. Ronnie was using a Black/Chartreuse grub and a Pearl White. Most of mine came on the Pearl White. Trigger X has a great new line of soft plastic Pan Fish Baits in multiple sizes and colors.  You can get them pre rigged or in 8 and 10 packs. www.triggerx.com. When you combine them with the VMC Moon Eye Jig they make a great combination.  Go to our web sites and check them out-you will like what you see.
