Its hard to get them to bite around this time of year with all the bait fish along with baby frys crappie, bass, and bream they have so much to choose from wat have work for me is that I twitch a jig up and down I think it frustrate them into hit it
They are there. But the bite is tuff. I can see them on graph but all they will do mostly is short hit. Tried about everything Any ideas. They are suspended on ledge. 30-35 fow.

Getting crappie to bite when they are suspended is frustrating for sure. Over the years I have found one thing that will work and that is a free swimming minnow, nothing but hook line and minnow period, but getting it down to them that deep ,I do not have an answer for .Maybe some kind of down rigger that would release your line when it reached their depth .But if you can/could get a free swimming minnow down to them hooked in the mouth ,they will eventually grab it , cant stand the sight of a struggling minnow after seeing all the ones they chase running from them. Any kind of attempt to use a small piece of split shot or extra long leader does not ever seem to work for me it has to be free swimming. Then again I am never trying to get them to free swim that deep! Maybe somebody could make a hook with lead filling HA

Same situation on lake Jordan, I have heard though, normally short bites on minners verses stronger bites on jigs during the summer.

Sometimes down sizeing works for me but it's not 100%.

Same problem here am finding plenty of fish just can’t get them to commit have tried all the sauces and big to tiny jigs! Ant buying minnards because they dead before you can use em up ! So im pretty much done until it cools down a bit ! They are tons of shad everywhere so I guess they just all filled up on them!
