W. Metro Crappies…

Had some great crappie fishing the last couple evenngs on my favorite West metro lake…I have noticed the last few trips they have really started to turn on and bite a little more aggressive with the warmer weather.

My favorite crappie bait is a 1″ berkly micro tube in white or green on a 1/32 oz. jig head. Berkley stopped making these a few yrs back and I wish I could find a few more packages in green and white. Anybody know where I may be able to find some??

The crappies were in 3 to 5 FOW in a shallower/soft bottom bay. I would assume most of the metro lakes are shaping up for some nice pre-spawn crappie fishing now.

Sorry for the bad pictures but I was by myself tonight; need to learn how to take better pictures when fishing alone.

The pictures are just fine and I don’t know where to find 1″ berkly micro tube. I will be a Cabelas tonight and will see if I see any on the racks. Kind of doubting it though.

Nice fish! For the tubes, try lil’ hustlers micro tubes if you cant find your powerbait. Been catching a lot of crappie on them lately. The 1″ version and a 1/64 jig head. They make 1″, 1.5″ and 2″.
