    Mark and myself decided to change gears and get on some panfish for a change. We had an awesome day catching bull bluegills and slab crappies while vertical jigging. Water temps were 48 degrees. Hair jigs, and tungsten with plastics tipped with a tiny piece of crawler for scent did the trick! We stuck to the 20-28ft of water and kept busy sliding around a bit with the terrova to stay on fish. The big gills were over 10″ but I’m still waiting for that elusive 11″er for the wall. I can’t wait for the next round!

    Real nice Pannies. Travis I see you on Crappie Keiths forum. Have you used THE JIG? If so have you had luck open water and ice fishing?

    Thanks guys. I actually just tried those jigs for the first time this weekend. They caught fish. I’d love a tungsten version of a hair jig though…
