I got back into the Spider
Fishing this week at Legion Lake in Winona Mississippi, my brother's home lake. This lake is roughly 80 acres super clear and has a lot of slab crappie. We worked
around thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday with periods of on and off
crappie bites. My brother managed to land the largest crappie ever using the
Spider set-up system. When the fish are scattered and the bite is off you need
every advantage one can get. The Spider system will give you that edge. It
enables you to cover large amounts of water at different depths using
different jigs. We found out early on that the best color for the past two days
was an orange/chartreuse tube jig tipped with a white or chartreuse nibblet. We
were using six 11 ft . jigger poles and two 9 ft . rods which enabled us to cover a lot of water. Numbers
were not the winner on this trip but rather quality fish made the difference. As
always the food was a winner as well, featuring homemade peach cobbler, chicken
pot pie, baked chicken, and of course homemade rolls and cornbread from the local buffet line in the local supermarket.
That a huge crappie! nice catch!
ReplyDeleteI can go for some crappie fishing. It's been a while and that big sucker makes me hungry, along with the cobbler, chicken pot pie, etc.
ReplyDeleteI can see the advantage of using that system, but in California, they only allow you two poles maximum.

Awesome fish, I've seen that spider rigging before on Crappie Masters TV.
ReplyDeleteHi, Bill! Like the others have mentioned, "That is one heck of a Crappie"! I could fish for Crappie that size any day. You are a fortunate angler.

Nicely done Bill! The crappie bite has been great for me as well. Wish I could get a nice giant though. So far this year my biggest one has been 11 3/4". Tight lines and happy fishing!
