What size "lure" were you using ?? Maybe if you downsized the same lure, they'd take it better
Last ones I caught, came on nightcrawler pieces (under a float). Thought seriously about using a slip sinker/bobber stop/hook setup ... to get/keep my bait on bottom, and still be able to detect the bite. Problem was ... the wind got up, and was blowing my line pretty good. So I just stuck with the float setup, and let the wind blow it along
I think I was too late to find them nesting, anyway. The little lake I fished is known to produce some pretty nice Crackers, so I may give them another go .... unless the Crappie start biting good, there
