Gave the boat a rest and tubed Perris 8.6.11

[QB7940]

Didnt want to deal with boat traffic today so went back to my roots and tubed Perris.

I forgot how nice it is to be in the water, there really is no better way to feel the fish, and work a spot. No boat means focusing on just one location so less fish today.

The ticket was black and red today, on a 1/16th jig head. I vist bass pro about every other day and have tried just about all the crappie plastics there, gotta say the top two are the yellow white tubes and lake fork trophy lures.

Bass guys doing good on smaller bass dropping worms.

Update, went back out for the evening bite. A good day fishing. Time for a fish fry. coutn jigs down 20 seconds

Nice looking crappie

Nice,were you tipping the jigs?

@Troutcz swimbait

Whenever I use tube jigs I'll tip them with a crappie niblet, it keeps the jig in the mouth just a little bit longer to set the hook. But if a small plastic I wont.

Way to go! A 16 inch crappie is about 2 1/2 lbs! The Perris crappie are just so nice. Actually all the panfish there are nice.

Nice looking crappie. I hope to get my tube back out there next weekend.

Those are some nice crappie! Me and a friend are going to tube Perris tomorrow, hopefully we will get some nice ones too.
