NoCo Crappie!

I've been catching quite a few crappie this Spring one pole jig fishing in open water. I have a new Garmin Livescope and the thing is amazing! I learn so much about the fish's behavior as far as being spooked by the boat, if the want the bait moving or sitting still and can even try different colors and sizes of jigs to see which one they prefer. I've caught them this week fishing right under the boat in 6' of water and had them spook from the boat while they are still 10' in front the boat and 16' down in 18' ftow. Everyday is different and with so much fishing pressure somedays its hard to establish a pattern. There is not to much brush or trees or structure of any kind in the NoCo lakes that I fish because they are all owned by water companies and are used primarily for irrigation. So for the most part the fish are just swimming in the basin and I have to hunt them down. Attachment 345855Attachment 345856Attachment 345857Attachment 345858Attachment 345859Attachment 345860
