Title: jig size and color?
Post by: redmule on January 28, 2012, 04:34 PM: OK... I think I'm about ready for the big plunge at Alamo (Feb 7 - 9)... I have a lot of experience with Walleye, Northern Pike and panfish in the "way up north", but would like to learn the ways of the wily AZ crappie... I have moved here now, and need to find the proper techniques and learn the lakes... I have the camper and boat... Got the poles... Have some jigs and bodies (BBC & JD)... But before I tackle it, any suggestions for jighead size and color? I have a pretty good assortment, but would like to start on the right foot...

I usually go by myself, and will post when and where I'm going, if someone without a boat would like a day or two on the lake... I'm retired and like to go mid week to avoid the rush...

Have enjoyed your forum, learned a lot, and will be at the open meeting in March...

Thanks for the help...

That has some pretty good info. We all are always adapting out there and trying new things, but I think most of the guys always start with whatever they have confidence in. If that's not working then it's onto new depths and colors.
