Help... Crappie Not Biting Under Dock Lights
Hi All
I used the search function but can't find the answer to this. Here's the story
I added a couple halogen lights to my dock to attract zoo-plankton and bait fish. It does that job wonderfully. I have a ton of zoo-plankton and little blue minnows that are too small to put on a hook under them. In turn this has attracted HUGE Crappie, Bass and White Perch. I can literally watch them make circle after circle, turn on their side and open their mouths to eat. However I can't catch a single one of them. They REFUSE to bite a single thing I put in the water.
I've tried:
jigs/lures
night crawlers/worms
crappie bites
spinners
rattle baits
I even tried gigging and man those suckers are FAST!
The only thing I haven't tried is a net :(
My friend suggested that maybe the fish are overfed. But if this is the case why do they continue to circle. Any ideas? I'm willing to try anything short of jumping in.
Thanks you for your attention
