Alphahawk, have you ever tried the trout slayer jig heads? They have a larger hook which I like when using the trout jig to target crappie. Seem to get a better hook up.
The TM people are advertised to be in the 'boro tomorrow at the New Vision Baptist Church tomorrow.

I will stop by their booth.
Glad you are doing better. Just takes time. I have been walking in to a place on JPP and having some luck with Crappie. About 1/2 mile or so walk. My knee feels good. Nothing slab size but mostly keepers. They stopped biting last week when water was falling but should be back in today. Just a tad cold for me to try today.
Find you a pool to do walking and march using high steps etc. Good luck...
