The two day tournament of the Carolina Crappie Association Classic (CCA) was held on March 18 and 19 on Lake Wylie, SC. The team of Stokes and Jordan walked away with the win with 14 crappie weighing 20.7 lbs.
Jordan said, “Our winning fish came from water depths of 2 to 10 feet. We were long line trolling between 1.1 and 1.4 mph in the back of creeks. We were using the 3” Slider Grubs and the 2 1/8th inch Slider Minnow on a 1/32 oz. Slider head.”
The team said they caught tons of fish on the regular Sliders but larger baits were the key to the big fish. The minnow baits have been great from day one according to Stokes and Jordan.
Jordan noted the Slider baits were the key to the team’s success.
Thirty boats qualified to fish the 2016 event.
