Last Killer Update - August 6, 2008

Whopper's Of The Week 

This may be the greatest Crappie Killer picture of all time! Joe Antonoplos, Nick (Son) and Jayme (Aunt) sporting some pretty nice shirts and some nice crappies as well. I always take it as a great compliment when I see people wearing Killer Gear or fishing with my products. Awesome - thanks guys!

Jay Godwin with a nice black crappie. Jay I'm guessing that you were fishing one of the black water rivers near the coast of NC. All those cypress trees look familiar... And is that a can of Natty Light I see ? Way to go man - beautiful fish.

Find Information On Any Lake!

Click on the big map above and it will take you to the US Water Information page. Once there you can click on any state and a list of the lakes in that state will come up. From there you can get a variety of information including some pretty decent maps. The "Hybrid" satellite map is my favorite. Click on the name of the lake and then click on the "MAPS" tab at the top of the page. You can see three different ones from there. Check this site out and I'm sure you will find it useful and fun.

New Crappie Killer

"ARH"

Rod Holder

With this new rod holder I have tried to address two issues in the design. The first is being able to mount the rod holder without having to drill any new holes. This rod holder gives you the option to mount it directly where your factory cleat was installed. You simply remove the cleat and use the existing holes and hardware to mount the base. Second, and probably more important, is that this rod holder was designed to be very adjustable. This is a fully articulated rod holder. Click the link below to watch a video and see what I mean!

Long Awaited Redesign Is Done!

Crappie Killer Jigs

My jigs have a new name, new look, new colors and the hottest, most effective hook on the market today. 

The new jig design features a slightly different profile allowing us to use a larger hook. We now use size #4 hooks in the 1/32 and the 1/16 ounce jigs. The eyes are slightly larger on both as well. We have also changed our paint process to include a 15 minute finish bake cycle. This insures a very durable finish. The biggest change to the jig is the hook. We have chosen the newest, most effective, most expensive hook on the market today. The Sickle Hook is uniquely shaped to provide maximum hook up potential. When a fish hits this jig, he's hooked! In addition to all of the improvements we have made to the design of the jig we have also added new colors. Purple Haze is fast becoming one of my top picks - but the Mean Green always be my all time favorite. These jigs are now available on the Killer Stuff Page. All of our products are proudly made in the USA. Every jig is hand made. This is a very time consuming and expensive process. We do it because we want to provide the highest quality jigs we can - and we did not increase the price!

August - ugh...

Hot and muggy. Beat the heat by fishing early or late or at night. We have covered night fishing a few times. You can look in the archives and find some old reports and stuff on it if you need to. Or email me, I'll answer any questions you have. 

I know it may be a little early to think about fall, but maybe not. Try to think about the upcoming cooler days and nights and what that is going to do to the crappies. Better yet - what is it going to do to the baitfish in your lake. If you follow my stuff you have heard me say "find the bait fish and you will find some crappies". They are predators just like a Bass or Striper. Maybe not as aggressive, but predators just the same. And they are smart when it comes to finding a meal. Meaning they will set up in a likely spot and let the food come to them. Not moving very far or fast to get a meal. So... find the bait fish and the crappies will be near bye. 

This applies to just about any time of year. But it is especially true in the fall. Bait fish will move into shallower water, creeks and coves and long the main channel banks in the fall. The crappies will move off the points, creek edges and main lake structure to follow them. Trolling and drifting with live bait really gets hot at the end of August, into September and October in the South East US and Central US as well. You will be able to catch fish along shoreline brush and boat docks again as well. 

Watch your electronics, look for the balls of bait and fish in or around them. Pay particular attention to the depth the bait is holding. If it's flat on the bottom, move on, keep looking. Find bait that is up in the water column, preferably with arches or "streaks" shooting through the bait on the screen. This is a tell tale sign of feeding fish. Start trolling or drop some double minnow rigs straight down to the depth of the bait, or slightly above it and move right through them. Keep your drag set light, you never know what type of fish will suck up your minnow or jig in this situation. 

As we move into the fall season, follow the bait back into the creeks and coves and you will follow the crappies as well. They will stay in those areas until the water gets too cold or the bait fish leave, usually around 50F or mid November.
