are they friends or enemies?
here is a long standing question adn i have asked many people with completly opposite answers;also, i work closely with the conservation department and have received different responses from their fisheries people.
will bass run crappie off structure or (unlikely) vice versa. many times i go to catch crappie i will catch all bass. or sometimes i will catch mainly crappie and 1 bass. it is never a nearly even amount, although at certain times of the year they should be in the same place and if i am tossing a roadrunner both species will munch it up. take a dock with structure around it, usually you will mainly catch crappie, but then you haev those days where you only catch bass while you are jigging right there. did the bass chase off the crappie for a short while? wrap your head around it because it is not like only one species will stop biting for a day, usually the whole bite slows down. what do you folks think?
