X-2 Deep-Diving Crankbait
X-2 Deep-Diving Crankbait Designed to help you catch more bass, ABT Lure Company’s “Next Generation” X-2 lure also significantly reduces resistance upon retrieve, eliminating the normal fatigue associated with fishing a deep-diver for a long period of time. The X-2 dives down rapidly to a maximum depth of 12 feet, reflects off bottom structure and produces a tight wobble that bass can’t resist.

Crappie tournament angler touts tin jig heads
Bernard Williams likes fishing with tin jigs because they are larger in size than their lead counterparts, and he believes that helps him catch larger fish. It’s difficult to get tournament anglers to share their competitive advantages, but Magnolia Crappie Club member Bernard Williams let at least one of his cats out of the bag.

Chotard Landing Resort back in business
Spider rigging over the tops of brushpiles positioned along the first ledge away from the bank is one of the most productive late-winter crappie tactics. Jerry Johnson bought Chotard Landing Resort back in the early 1980s when it was little more than a fishing camp full of trailers. Johnson had the vision to make it something more, so he started cleaning it up and adding amenities.

Crappie Hotspot Series: Lake Washington
The spawn will start as early as the end of February at Lake Washington. The next stop on the Mississippi Sportsman Crappie Hotspot Series tour is Lake Washington. Located approximately 25 miles south of Greenville on Highway 1, Washington is a closed-off oxbow of the Mississippi River; as such, fluctuations in the river don’t affect the lake in the same way as other oxbows, making it a unique fishery among Delta lakes.
