    Default Nothing but small ones again.


    Went fishing yesterday, and caught nothiing but small crappie. We caught them in places we never caught them before as well. We caught a bunch, just too small to keep, well, I wasn't that fish hungry, and leave it at that.

    These were in water about 18-24'' deep, with deep water just a few feet away.

    I know it depends on locations, but we fished deep with jigs, with no results.

    Do the little fish run with the big fish, or do they just run with the same size fish?

    I'd venture to say that your big fish have come in, spawned, & left. This group is the smaller/newer year class, and they may be spawning or just feeding.
    Generally speaking, Crappie run in year classes ... of approximately the same size, as far as schooling up together. When they're caught from a specific spot, and sizes are mixed, I believe it's just a matter of both schools occupying the same area ... attracted by the same factors.

    That is what I kinda thought. I'll keep on search for the bigger ones.

    My graph showed some schools almost on the bottom of some deep holes, but couldn't get them to bite.

    I have found that the bigger fish get tight lipped for a while after the spawn.

    Well I'll have to say +1 to everything in here lol! Y'all beat me to it. Also you can try bigger jigs to fish the deeper fish you're marking, and maybe tip your jigs with a minnow or nibble.
