New Texoma striper record

[dennishoddy]

We use a 1 1/2 once jig head with a zoom super salty fluke and just drop it down just like live bait and let it sit. The striper will tap it just like a crappie you have to be very quick to get the bite. We started doing this in 2010 and have perfected it and have shown a lot of people. we have also shown a lot of the other guides how to do it and it is catching on very fast. it only works when the water temps are below 57 and is at its best in January and February If you have never done it you need to get out and try it. We can teach you how to do it and once you do it once it is all you will want to do.

OK, gotcha.

Same as crappie. Some want an active jig, and some want to just inhale the jig, mouth it and swim away. Tough bite to detect.

Braid helps detect the bite when fishing deep.

Ya most of the time they just barely bite it and braid is the only line to use when dead sticking

Winter crappie around here are at about 30'. Mono sucks.

Beats the water, sounding like a freeding freezy according to the guides.

yes, it works

I assume you must try different color jig heads and Fluke colors to see what they like.. or just go shad color?

I never thought in a million years that fishing in freezing weather, bundled up like the kid from A Christmas Story would be fun. Then I found deadsticking.

Ha ha, I won't be able to try it until February, after deer and duck season. But hey, maybe I'll find the crappie blindly (no fish finder).

Main color of head is green the body will change from time to time but best is pink, red shad, chartreuse all from Zoom the super salty fluke.
