Gills around here aren't as finicky, but they do seem to prefer a few colors. Crappie are not only finicky about color, but also speed, depth & direction.

I remember trying every popper and foam bug I had until I tried a tiny #12 green popper I found tucked away in a corner of my box. All I caught were dinks and a few almost decent fish. The little bitty green bug brought a good mess of 9-10" gills to hand until a large largemouth bass of undetermined size decided to have it for lunch. He appeared to be snacking on bluegills and looked big enough to handle all but the biggest of the ones in the area. That was a long time ago, but still stands out in my memories. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
