This is DI photo a friend sent me from Pickwick(he calls it the wick). He set down on these fish and dropped his LS to key in on them and they were gone. Later in the evening he finally got some fish to fire off(his words). He was catching them close to 30 feet deep and he had to cast over 30 feet to them to not spook them

The fish he showed me were show stoppers

Thanks for the report and technique update DB!! Congrats

Several years ago, during the Summer, I found Crappie on baitfish schools in Limestone Bay in about 6 feet of water over near the west bank (away from the stump beds). Every pass spider rigging I'd pick up two or three.

Soon several of the big boats watching the show came over and joined me and the Crappie shut down. After the big boats left the fish started biting again and I returned to catching fish two at a time. I had several big boats try and join me again over the afternoon and each time the fish would shut down in response to the trolling motors and increased noise (maybe shade of the boat also). Each time the boats left I'd go back to catching fish within 10 or 15 minutes.

It's always great when the fish seem to hammer everything that hits the water, but sometimes they can be extremely finicky and put off by the slightest thing. Often as the day progresses and the light levels change in the water column, bait color and water depth of the fish will change even for the same spot. Everyone has encountered that magic hour before dark when after a hard day of mediocre fishing you catch Crappie on every cast and bait for a half hour. It only makes since that some days you can't buy a bite, LOL!
