A Crappie Wednesday at the Hodge

Nice size crappie. How many of those bad boys did you manage? What are the water temps. running.
 
Steve:
What terminal tackle do you recommend? Also, has the crappie bite at Henshaw started yet?

Perfect temp. Hard to find a better eating fish. Looks like someone else has an interest.

Doc,

A $5.00 Wal-Mart rod (6 1/2', medium action), with a Shimano Saros FA 2500 reel, 8 lb Triple Fish camo line, pink/pearl/chartreuse Arkie straight tail plastic, and a 1/16 oz hot pink jig head...Added a split shot to get in that 10-12' range.

The water at Henshaw is still cold and the crappie bite historically starts in April...Dropping the water recently won't help, unless we get some serious rain soon.
