Target Fish: Specks (Crappie)
I fished a local waterway in Palm Coast this afternoon for Specks. The plan was to float some jigs below corks and do some drifting or slow trolling.
We fished with a variety of jig colors though a green tube body produced the most fish. I also did pretty well on a pink jig head with a white curly tail body.
The specks were not overly large but what they lacked in size, they made up for in numbers. We ended up catching about 50 in all and kept 38.
The water clarity is pretty good so getting your baits back a ways beyond the kayak really made a big difference. My fishing partner for the day fished with spinning reels with a clip on cork to suspend the jig about 3' below the water surface. I fished fiberglass cane poles and they were far less effective in the clear water.
Here's a few pic's from the trip.
Good luck on the water!

Remember to match the clarity of the water with the right color bait to attract those fishes.
