Question??? I fished the CDC Okie lake wister tourney last weekend. While prefishing Friday, 95% plus of the fish I seen and caught where at 12 feet deep. Every now and then I would see a few on my graph stacked up. 6-8 feet deep. I would raise a pole up and caught two. The first a small one. The second hit hard, around 1.4 lb. the rest I caught were at 12 foot. During the tourney we lucked out in catching 5 of the fish we weighed in about 7-8 foot but the 1.9 and 1.3 were at 12. We seen this same thing at the winter cc camp at hugo. We could only catch these stacked fish above the rest. Does anyone have an idea why they do this. Thanks. Did finish second in the tourney thx to these fish.

They do the same through the ice....active fish will be in the top 1-2' of 6-8' thick brush piles in 13-20 fow. As you fish the crappies in the top of the brush, highly active groups will cruise in at 3-8' deep and always smoke a jig in front of their faces
