I have a question

[Champion202]

I had a bud of mine tell me crappie feed up. He also said that I should place my baits a foot or so above were the fish are at. What do you guys think, I'm not sure my self since I'm fairly new at this game

There's some truth to that, but not always. That's why the Thill type floats can really pay off sometimes. Sometimes Crappie will go down for a tidbit and then swim back up making the bite very hard to detect, the slack in the line will cause the Thill type float to rise and indicate an upward a bite. Set The Hook, Set The Hook!!!

In S.C. they feed up.

I agree...I think they feed up.

quote (indicate an upward a bite.) Very poor English isn't it

Most of the time Crappie will feed looking up, But there are times when you drop a bait right in front of their nose, that they will go down after it, and bite it on the drop. Nothing about Crappie fishing is set in stone, and you will be amazed at how many different ways you can catch Crappie. What will work one day won't get a second look the next day or in an hour. After you have Crappie fished for awhile you will learn to let the Crappie tell you what they want and how they want it. Always pay attention and be aware of what is going on around you. Good fishing and always enjoy the outdoors. EB

If you cast jigs without a floater, also be a line watcher. Sometimes you will not feel a crappie bite but you can see your line twitch. I see so many people miss fish by not noticing this.

Don't remember pulling your chain. I understand exactly what is being said. The person I posted on done a pretty good hack job on LBM yesterday and I was just showing him he isn't the English major he thinks he is. Maybe he should take your well intended advice as he is always coming down hard on people with his wise cracks. Just trying to help out a fellow fisherman (LBM)

the next time you catch a crappie and put it in your live-well look at it's eyes. It will tell the story.
