it. When choosing colors I let the fish tell me what they want. I usually start with three different colors: a natural color like Grey Ghost, a white (Frost), and then either an orange or black variation like Kajun Kricket. The Tombigbee fish went crazy for Frost. Summertime fish are also willing to eat a minnow dropped into a laydown or by a brush pile.

If you encounter finicky fish, you may need to downsize your bait in summertime to 1 1/4” or even 1”. One thing that I have noticed with a lot of crappie fishermen is that they will sit on a spot too long. If you pull up to a spot and catch fish pretty fast and they just shut off, try fishing a little deeper or change color or profile. If I haven’t caught a good fish or got a bite in 10 to 15 minutes, I am moving on. There’s plenty of water to to fish this summer with lots of crappie to catch! Hope to see you on the river
