I've made three ventures out to Kirk Pond this past week. I used mostly worms but did switch it up to the occasional spinner, crawdad, popper, rooster tail, buzzbait. I had one good strike in the small pond behind Kirk Pond using a green worm. But it was my first time to ever use a braided line and I fast realized I had the wrong knot. Decent sized bass, broke the surface (worm was coming over some grass).
I tried some crappie fishing from the bank using a jig below a bobber. Not used to bank fishing for crappie not around a tree-top. I'm used to dangling a jig below the water and dancing it until a strike. (family lives in Arkansas and we crappie fish A LOT). But i've never ever tried the bobber approach. Nothing. I'm doing something wrong, rigging my setup wrong, because I have no dance in my jig. It just hangs there. Any suggestions? I've looked for a porcupine quill, something lighter that might impart some of the water surface motion onto the jig.
Thanks, and good luck!
