Minnows vs. Jigs
Josh Gowan, former crappie guide and owner of King Crappie and
Prefish Gear, has plenty of fishing and tournament experience. He
says, “I’m going with minnows most of the time. I’ll be using minnows
when slow trolling and a single jig when one-poling. The older I get
the more I see that a straight minnow is hard to beat. It doesn’t matter
what the water color may be, the minnow is down there natural and
moving. Going very slow is important when minnow fishing to give the
crappie time to see and react.”
