    How common are they? How often do you catch them?

    We caught another one yesterday. That makes 2 in 2 years, but those are the only ones I've ever caught. Just wondering how regularly you guys catch them here in our state.

    Not common at all. DNR says every so many years a gene shows up and that's how you get them in black crappies. We have seen a few caught here on Wylie over the last couple of years. They will spawn but not with black nose not being the dominate gene. I just wish mine was big enough to mount. It went back in for someone else to catch maybe. They are a pretty neat fish.

    The site is not recognizing the orientation code of the picture and is trying to "correct" it. Download the Crappie.com app and post your pics from it. You can also use the Testing Area forum to check and see how your pics are going to turn out when posted. But just don't expect "turning" them in your PC's picture files to work in straightening the pics, because the orientation code is imprinted when you take the pic & isn't changed when you turn them in the computer.

    OR .... you could always turn your phone 1/4 turn to your right and take the pics and let the site "correct" them to the upright position. That's the method I used before downloading the Crappie.com app ... and it worked just fine, as long as I remembered to turn the phone.

    The whole "turned pic" mess is a result of continued updates/upgrades to the site & the phones ... and they're not always in sync.

    Now ... as to the Blacknose being in your waters : they were likely stocked, either by accident or on purpose. And if they're not "common" to that body of water, then it was likely an accident. We have a small lake that was originally stocked with Black Crappie that were netted from other lakes in the state. Several years later Blacknose started showing up, likely as a result of being captured in those other lakes that had been stocked with Blacknose in years past. Also, they can & will mate with other Black Crappie & the offspring can end up with the black stripe.

    Wylie gets flooded every few years so it makes since that they are here if they were stocked elsewhere. I'm not complaining I like them. Yours is of size and mine was thrown back due to size and being rare for here. Wylie hasn't been stocked in a good many years. DNR says Wylie is holding it own and does not need it. I say yes it does need it because it does not produce the way it did many years ago since white perch was given to us! Anyways back to the drawing board of soft bait making.

    I'll try the app. It's even more confusing when I go awhile with no problems then it starts turning them again.

    And you know, Sky Hawk, the biologists say that there's no harder fight from a Blacknose than from a regular Black Crappie :rolleyes: but I would beg to differ.
    I've caught a lot of Black Crappie and quite a few Blacknose (mostly from Watts Bar in E. Tenn), and I have to tell you that there IS a difference. The Blacknose can almost be "called" as such, before you even see the fish (and I've done it many times). And I've never experienced a White or Black Crappie leap out of the water when they're hooked, but I've experienced Blacknose doing it three times !! And in one instance I had one jump completely over the front end of my buddy's Tracker TX17 upon hookset, and cleared the edge of the boat by a good three feet on the opposite side !! And I know I didn't yank the fish out of the water and sling it over the boat, because I was using a 5' UL rod & 4lb test line. The other two I remember jumping out of the water were caught slinging Road Runners to open water. So, yeah, I'm calling those "experts" out on there being no difference between the two.
