These fish are driving me crazy!!I Need Help!!!!
Thanks a bunch. Also I was wondering if you could help me out with a crappie question. I Fish guntersville just about every weekend. Fish inside a marina. (vertical fishing) Well 3 weeks ago I wore them out. The past 2 weeks maybe 5-10 all weekend. I have an underwater camera, dropped it in and bam. 20+ in every slip. Well I found my jig with the camera and watched it. They came up and turned away, every single time. Well I changed jigs changed line, changed my hook size, used spray, used feather jigs, even went to minnows. They'd follow it up and turn away!! I can not get a reaction. Confusing. Guntersville had a very big shad spawn and I don't know if they are just stuffed or I'm not throwing the right lure. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Loosing my mind over this. Thanks!

You got to see first hand what all fishermen experience from time to time. The fish just were not active for whatever reason, be it barometric pressure, frontal systems, hurt feelings! Throw whatever you want at them, they just ain't bitin. Fish dont eat constantly and chances are if you had moved to a different area/depth, you could have found some fish that were active and feeding. Not too long ago, I tried a spot that produced well the day before. I was fishing deep brush on the bottom. This day i could see them on my ff but they wouldnt bite for anything. I moved to shallow water and the bite was on. You just have to move til you find the hungry ones. JMHO

You might could try the Berkeley crappie nibbles as an attractant. I have had good success with the yellow and the chartreuse. They also make these with tiny flakes of glitter embedded in them. The idea is, they melt, the glitter falls off and looks like scales from wounded baitfish, producing a feeding frenzy. Pier and dock related fish can get extremely finicky, like someone else said I would also down size my jig. Hope this helps, let us know.
