Hope you get it figured out soon. Make changes other than jigs. Look at your speed, some times speed up or slow down. You could be under them or over them, so make adjustments to meet the marked depth of fish. Yep, move on to other place to see if it's you or just tight lipped fish. Hang in there! Good luck!

If the fish youre marking aint biting then move on and find some that will. I see a lot of guys going to the same creek and not catching, coming home saying the fish aint biting. I agree that they aint biting in that creek, but theyre biting somewhere. Sometimes you'll find 'em and sometimes you wont. But atleast you tried.

Worst part is seeing a guy slaying crappie an hour after you vacated the same exact spot on youtube, just scratching my head lol. I was definitely doing something different

Agree with Gabowman, it is easy to stay to long on non biting fish. It is also easy to fish under the fish. It is best to start off pulling the jigs high in the water column (less line out / faster speed) and then if no bites slow your speed down a little at a time until you find the sweep spot/right combo of line out/speed. If you spend a little time searching the water depths and still don't catch any you really need to move.

Wouldn't using 3/16,1/8 & 1/16 at the same time accomplish it faster, all other things being equal

I do something like that using split shot, but only thing is - it reduces your number of baits in the water at any given depth. If you run a lot of rods, it works pretty good. I usually only run two depths at a time, though - about all I can keep straight.
