crappies beware ::: the Angel Eye Dropper spoon is hitting the water tonight!!!

[grab da net]

I've got a Pink and white AE Jr. that I rigged up with a 3" dropper (single glow hook with glow and gold 4mm beads on the dropper) that I'm going to try out tonight.

The Crappins on this little lake have been pretty finicky lately, and I'm hoping this is going to be the ticket.

I tried that and I kept getting hang ups even when I shortened the dropper. Those beads may solve the problem though. Let us know how it goes.

Try a small brass bead or two ( for weight ) just above the hook. That might reduce the tangle factor.

Sorry to say I can't brag up my modified angel eye yet. As usual I had to switch to smaller ice fly's to hook only 2 crappies.

I tried out the bio-bait and caught one on that, and one on the berkely power bait wigglers that look like little waxies.

The Berkely power wigglers seem to be a pretty fish catching alternative to live waxies. Any one else have good luck with them.

I love the Berkley Power maggots! Saved us a canadien Crappie trip last year. Also work well for trout!

I also tried the dropper thing on my angle eye but im yet to catch a fish on it. I only used it once so I might try again and see if I can get some fish off of it for once.

NORTHLANDER: Can you give a bit more detail on using powerwiglers for trout. Lakers? thru the ice or in the summer for Rainbows deep?

Re: the AE dropper, I'll de giving it a try out tomorrow on Winnie for perch/walleyes.

I use the Power Bait Wigglers every once in a while for perch. I have had good success at early ice using power bait. I tried using power bait on Friday because I was out of bait. But I couldn't get them to take it. Then I quick ran to get some wax worms and minnows and as soon as I put the line down I had a fish on and I had a successful morning after that. So I think Berkley Power Bait has it's place but you can't beat the real thing.
