On this day in South Dakota, the crappies were aggressive and willing to hit a bigger jig.
Whether we’re ice fishing or open water fishing, it’s important to try to match our bait presentation to the attitude of the fish. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out the attitude of the fish on a particular day on the body of water that you’re on. Open water or ice, many anglers like to start with the idea that the fish are going to be active. We’re not always right. In fact, there are probably more days when the fish are more finicky than they are aggressive. Nonetheless, we need to figure out that attitude.
