    Question Best Hydrowave H2 setting for catching crappie at docks.


    Bought the H2 model thinking I could get an expansion module for Mr. Crappie sounds. Have not been able to find one. We fish mostly docks. The fish always seem to be under the walkway between slips and out of reach of my shooting skills. I want the fish to come to me. So which is the best setting? Thanks.

    I've never used one, but have wondered if they'd effectively camoflauge the noise from a trolling motor. Awaiting responses.

    When I used to tournament bass fish 10-12 years ago. I had one on my boat, it would fire the Shad up for sure. They would be dancing and sometimes excite some bass to blow up on the Shad on top, that would then turn into bites. Crappie are less aggressive, at least in my mind. I don’t know if it would be a “game changer”, but definitely wouldn’t hurt.

    having one with a LS would make sense as you could see what results were immediately. Let us know.

    Tried it one day. This is what we were fishing:

    They weren't biting. I turned it on to see if it would stimulate a bite. The next sweep of the mega 360 showed nothing but the dock lines, the log and the post. The fish disappeared! I forgot to make a picture of the after. I think the fish moved further back under the dock and hugged the ground structure. After we turned it off, it took a little while, but the fish came back. Don't ask me which setting I had it on - it might have been "feeding frenzy" - all I can remember for sure is that it was set to 30 second delay. This is the bass module. I did find the Crappie module online and ordered it. I'll try it when we get it. Not sure I'll try the Bass module again - it hurt to see those crappie disappear!
