CrappieTechniqueDamiki RigSeasonWinterStructureStanding TimberCaught a limit of crappie and got three bonus catfish while crappie fishing! The fishing was good. The larger crappie came on a Damiki rig with a Keitech holding it right above them. The catfish apparently love it too. Also caught a lot on the Bobby Garland. The Jenko Double Down rod is great for these.

Caught a limit of crappie mostly picking them off one at a time. Nothing huge but lots of good keepers. The crappie were pretty aggressive and if you hit the ones a little outside of the pack on the head they usually would eat. I have much more success letting the bait pendulum to them then dropping straight down. Water was 42 degrees.
