Culprit Crappie Baits Does it Again
Well in 2006 I was fishing Sangchris Lake in Illinois, I tried everything in the tackle box plus live minnows trying to catch those crappie. I just could not get them to bite, I remembered that I had bought some new kind of jig and wanted to try it out. It was the Culprit Swim Fin Grub, that I had just purchased 2 days earlier. Now if your like me, you'll try everything once. Well I can tell you that it must have been the ultra thin fin that runs along the backside of the lure and finishes as a swimming tail, because I was catching slabs faster than I ever had before on a like jig. This lure creates an unmatched wave of action even at slower retrieval speeds, and works great for vertical jigging or trolling.

Crappie Condos
Bucket Condos
Materials needed: Bag of concrete
Scrap PVC or bamboo
Empty 5 gallon bucket
Gravel
For this type we cut the bamboo stalks just below a “knuckle” to hold them in the concrete. Or you can use PVC pipe. Fill the bucket about 3/4 up with gravel, then insert your PVC or Bamboo. After you have situated your cover, mix the concrete and pour in bucket till its full. Let this dry for about 1-2 days, then your ready to drop for cover. I'd recommend if your condo is 10ft tall you drop it in 20ft of water, and so on. Here is a link to an article Jerry Blake with www.actionfishingtrips.com wrote on the subject.
Above is a picture of one way to use the New Culprit Paddle Tail Minnow. This lure features the classic minnow shape with a “kicking” paddle tail for a lifelike presentation. If your missing alot of fish, this is a good solution.
Comeback often for new articles and guest columnist.
Below is a trailer full of bamboo.
