Info Post

I got back into the Spider Fishing this week at my brothers home lake. This lake is roughly 80 acres super clear and has lot of slab crappie. We worked around thunder storms on Wednesday and Thursday with periods of on and off crappie bites. My brother managed to land the largest crappie ever using the Spider set-up system. When the fish are scattered and the bite is off you need every advantage one can get. The Spider system will give you that edge. It enables you to cover large amounts of water at different depths and using different jigs. We found out early on that the best color for the past two days was an orange/chartreuse tube jig tipped with a white or chartreuse nibblet. We were using six 11 ft. jigger poles and two 9 ft. rods which enabled us to cover a lot of water. Numbers was not the winner on this trip but rather quality fish made the difference. As always the food was a winner as well, featuring homemade peach cobbler, chicken pot pie, bakes chicken, and of course homemade rolls and corn bread.
Working all those jigger poles
The tube jig even landed a large Shellcracker not to mention numbers of bluegills
My brother with the largest slab of the day a little over 2 lbs--this type fishing is sooooooo easy it makes you feel sorry for the fish!!
