I tryed the crappie fishing last weekend , causght nothing so I thought I would go try them on my bass pond. First I walked all aroud it once with a plastic worm caught a good sized green sunfish but no bass? sO i TRYED THE REST OF MY REMAINNG minnows and caught 3 bass at 3 pounds in the same spot with- in 15 minutes. They think They are too use to a lure.
