Thread: Crazy Fish_Poverty and Claiborne.

I went to Poverty point over the weekend and Claiborne. I usually kill them by throwing a minnow or minnow type softy and slowly pulling in the line. I literally saw about 40 fish darting into each other, i threw some bait right in front of there faces. I saw about ten fish do the same thing, stare and just swim away and get back to making beds or whatever the heck they were doing. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen that, or know what they were doing.

I've seen them do that twice in water 4 to 8 ft deep at one of my spots. I could see 25 or more sacs darting thru the water but they would not hit anything I was pulling thru them. I switched and started fishing almost vertical with a white marabou jig with a 1/2 oz weight 1 ft from jig...drop slowly to bottom and slowly rise up. Both times I picked up 5 to 10 out of the bunch...

thanks, now i dont feel so worthless for them not attacking the tubes i was tossing at them.

I have seen that only once. A few years ago on PP I was fishing the rocks this time of the year and actually saw some crappie so shallow their back fins were out of the water. I had heard of that before but never saw it and wouldn't have believed it then if I hadn't caught a couple.

Didn't see a bunch, but over at our hunting lease pond, I could walk up to the edge of the water and look at them 2 feet from me, drop just about anything in front of them and nothing would happen.. then I tried a 1/32 hair jig and that done the trick.
