I feel your pain! When you’re fishing for crappie, and catch something else, it kinda disappoints me!
The crappie in these parts are playing hard to get and its pretty spotty right now on them . I don't get near enough time to go find them these days and am just happy to get to pitch a jig here and there when the moment is right.
That said the one thing that's a little different this year is the "mixed bag syndrome" .
We are finding fish of all sorts in areas crappie tend to hang in the spring and in some spots the bream are up early it seems . Don't know whats driving what right now but to be sure every visit to the water yields some kind of something that is not actually what I intended to ketch .
So below are some of the fish from the last 3 days and all the fish bit jigs , the warmouth my bud SK ketched at dark thirty and the others were just in my way as well .I hope to find what I search for soon but until that time arrives I guess some fish beats no fish
SK seems to think I enjoy ketchn just ANY fish , that isn't exactly true though and I get a bit frustrated when these here fish I aint really after mix up my bag . Soon to be after them again and until I find some to show ya .
have a great day and stay tuned

I look at a mixed bag as a good thing,as long as they are eaters,I'm content with the variety!looked like you had fun though.

Being an avid UL angler I don’t care what I hook. I may start out after crappie but if I find white bass.....trout....Gills......Smallies.....black perch stacked up somewhere....well you get the picture...I ain’t l leaving that spot to go find crappie.

Eagle 1 thanked you for this post
I do love a pull yawl for sure ,but like someone else said I kinda get sad when it aint pulling quite right to be a crappie
....of course sometimes I do go after other fish and then I like whatever is pulling for sure

Here in the hills there is an old saying,"NEVER LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH " that's how I look at catching a smorgasbord of fish!

Where I fish, there's no such thing as targeting a species - at least not with the lures I use, and by the looks of it, the lures you used to catch such a grand bunch of fish!a smorgasbord of fish
Too bad the weather we've had is more like mid winter than being only a few weeks away from the 1st day of spring. Not as young as I used to be using my boat as a black-ice breaker to be able to fish in March.
Congrats on a really excellent catch!
