Hey Reb

[KenDammit]

I don't know if you've bought any of those Storm live swimbaits or not, but I just bought some of the crappie swimbaits a few days ago and used them today. From my limited knowledge of swimbaits, the crappie worked excellently, swimming the right way and the tail moving back and forth as it should. I only got to fish it for about 30 minutes or so, didn't have long to fish, but oddly enough...I caught a crappie on the crappie lure. It was very surprising to see that one crappie was trying to eat a 3-4" crappie.

Anyway, so far, I think they are quality lures and the bluegill will definitely be worth a try. I think that will be my next purchase since the crappie seemed like quality.

Thanks for the report, Ken-appreciate it! Reckon I'll have to invest in some.

speaking of crappie, i threw a grub for 1/2 hour today while bass fishing, and hoped to get some slab crappie...nothing would hit it, so I went
back to cruising some timber and flipping, and ended up catching a 11 inch crappie with a big tiki lizard lol ......
that fish was in about 8 inches of water when it hit

i am getting some in perch and walleye colours they are said to be good for bass and pike up here as well as the bluegill pattren one

lol I couldn't get a grub to bite a crappie yesterday for anything. I kept getting those little "sucker" hits(I'm sure you know what I mean if you've felt a crappie bite your lure) but I couldn't get them to get the hook in their mouth..so I switched to a grub..and nothin! I did get to see a bass around 8 inches cruisin through some brush near the bank..and I saw a bluegill chase my grub for about 15 feet. He wasn't big enough to eat a piece of corn, but he was sure tryin to kill that grub and eat it.

I had several of the suckah hits too yesterday, once felt like a heavy crappie

Well theres your problem right there. At least it would be in Illinois. We don't have any grubs tough enough to whoop a crappie

[flbassman]

Illinois, come down to florida. We got all kinds of bugs that can whoop specks, bass, catfish, and the average Judo instructor. I reckon y'all dont have those huge spiders that look like they're wearing the pelts of small animals theyve killed?
