Jigging CYPRESS TREES for slab crappie!

In the spring every year, big slab crappie abandon their deep-water haunts, and move up to the shallows to enjoy the company of the opposite sex and produce next year's crop of crappie. It's the one time of year when even casual crappie anglers can load a cooler with the tastiest fish in all of North America.

Jeff Bruhl is one of those. The Covington angler targets bass, speckled trout, redfish and more throughout the year, but when the white perch, as he calls them, move up shallow, Bruhl breaks out his jigging poles and ultralight cork rigs, and beats the bark off cypress trees.

He let me tag along with him last week, and gave pointers on how to successfully harvest the fish using jigging poles. I've been targeting sac-a-lait, as I call them, all my life, but always with pegged or sliding corks. Tight-lining with jigging poles is an entirely different game.
