Summer Lures
#1
Bobby Garland Baby Shad
Color: Chartreuse Pearl · Size: 1.75 inch
Cast near riprap and weed edges; work the Ned Rig with subtle hops and pauses along structure. Let it fall naturally on slack line to trigger bites in murky water.
Murky water demands bright, visible profiles; Ned Rig excels in rising pressure when fish turn finicky; low pressure allows reaction to chartreuse; 73°F is peak crappie activity.
#2
Small Tube Jig
Color: Chartreuse · Size: 1.5 inch
Vertical presentation near brush and riprap; drop and shake gently with frequent pauses. Target deeper structure where crappie retreat in midday sun and rising pressure.
Rising pressure pushes crappie deeper and slower; murky water hides vertical presentations; low pressure means crappie are less spooked by jig approach; finesse-only species rule.
#3
Mepps #0 Spinner
Color: Chartreuse Blade / Black Body · Size: 1/16 oz
Cast along weed edges and riprap; retrieve slowly with frequent pauses to allow blade flash to attract in murky conditions. Work shallower margins where wind pushes baitfish.
10 mph wind concentrates baitfish along windblown riprap; murky water requires vibration and flash; small spinner fits crappie finesse rule; low pressure allows reaction bait effectiveness.
