I met Ronnie at the ramp at 6:00am the lake is at summer pool-with a lot of trash still floating here and there. The wind got up to 20mph and we struggled to stay on the trees that have been giving up our best Crappie, but we still had a good day-one here and one there. We also had 1 Largemouth and 2 Spots on a floating worm. We found all of our Crappie in 8 feet of water or less. 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.
