It's so boring on new year so while they're burning fire work I'm sitting on dock and catch some fish ,water a little dirty so my freshly made  jigs work good

Man QT you don't mess around,already caught some !

I would stay home and get drunk but my lady don't let's me for my heath

I have never tried pink jig heads,what did you catch the crappie with, your new jigs??

Good haul!
Dang, those are nice specs!

Weighted-head jigs. Simple, relatively inexpensive, and harder to snag-up than most lures. Did the Catfish take a jig?
Tired this AM, where I live 3 or more families have good access to all manner of fireworks. Seems like there's a noise competition going-on.

Smart lady. Happy new year!

Nice crappies--looks like a channel cat or two as well.

Pink w/ white bodies are a great walleye jig, especially in clearish water. Caught a few crappie & yellow perch on them in the past, too.

Pink jig and white tail also work good for red ,flounder and speckle trout

How do you work the jig for the specs ?

Dear Gobi King
If there is a current I will let's the jig flow thought the current and lift when it touch bottom .If no current I just swims it along bottom and jerk it once in a while .When letting the jig go with a current often have slack line and it's easier to detect a strike with mono than with braid in this case

You can do the lazy way too. When there's wave action, and fish(esp. trout)are cruising near the shore, a bobber 'bout 3-4 feet above the jig. Cast, let it sit, then move it every 20 sec. or so.
