[font "Impact"][#ff4040][size 3]Went to the pumphouse in Saratoga springs on Saturday with Krayzieegee. We caught a bunch of good sized crappies. It was a great day. I even invited some of those little tasty suckers home for dinner. Between the 2 of us we caught about 25, and we only fished for a couple of hours. It started to get too windy for us to cast our tiny jigs. Picture of the 4 dinner guests to come, haven't been able to load them in yet.[/size][/#ff4040][/font]

[font "Impact"][#ff4040][size 3]Tip your jig with a wax worm. Or get some of those crappie nibbles that powerbait makes and tip them with that. Works great on those little picky eaters.[/size][/#ff4040][/font]

[font "Impact"][#ff4040][size 3]Next to it. You have to kinda cast around and try to find the school. It may start slow. I have also heard that it has been hit and miss there. Move around if you don't seem to be finding the fish. They have been moving around from day to day according to krayziegee.[/size][/#ff4040][/font]
