Hawnjigs
KISS
At a CO reservoir, was tossing my crappie go-to 1/16 #4 Sickle ball head prop jigs off the deepest part of the dam & got 3 nice ones 11-12" + some dinks but that required around 2 hours of search casting. A pair of local guys who obviously knew what they were doing trotted straight out to the spot I was at and proceeded to hammer the slabs on what they called "minners" which appeared to be tiny stick baits on 1/32 heads. They actually felt sorry for me not getting any & offered a spot between them to cast, but I just called it a day.
Observing that the 1/16 jigs(all I had) I used had to be retrieved much quicker than their 1/32s to keep from getting fouled with green bottom slime, I went back a coupla days later with my smallest trout jigs, black bou 1/32 ball and pink rabbit 1/32 tube head. The black ball didn't get any, but the slow twitched pink skinny got bit steady & about a dozen nice ones were C&Red in a short time.
Have others of you experienced this type of selective bite?
