    Default Is this crappie


    We went to a new body of water today. Found multiple schools of fish that look like this. Caught one 12" crappie but I'm unsure if it was a fluke fish feeding on these or if this is an inactive school of crappie. Thoughts?Name:  20230513_161451.jpg

    Sure looks like crappie. I went to a little forest service lake and thought I was seeing individual crappie. But, all they would do was circle my bait real fast and look at it again. Never caught one, don't know what they were.

    It looks like small crappie to me maybe 6 inchers.

    possibly crappie , not sure as to how you can tell they be little ones though ?
    possibly small amounts of baitfish around them ?
    no clue , if you dropped a jig and ketched a crappie , it is more than likely they was crappie is my take ...

    I found some schools like that back in a cove once, couldn't get them to bite a jig, but they were bunched in so tight I could feel them ticking the line. So I dropped a jigging rap in there and snagged a couple, turns out they were big, crappie sized shad and carp.

    Since then if they won't react at all to a jig I just move on. If nothing else a crappie will swim up and check out a jig even if they don't bite.
