Went out early this morning and found the shad and crappie. There was large schools of both swimming in schools all over the area I was fishing. I could see the crappie swimming around, under and out in front of my boat but I couldn’t get one bite. I would put the jig right on their nose and they would ignore it.
what gives??

Usually some wanting to bite if you hold it still in front of them . You sure they are Crappie ? Did any swim up and look at your bait ?
They FULL from Christmas DINNER!!!
I am 100% sure they were crappie and shad. I watched a guy in another boat use his dip net and scooped up prolly 20 fish with one dip and had 8-10 crappie in the net. I will mention that he returned the crappie back but kept the shad for catfish bait.Quote:

But if you could hold it steady enough, they would just ease up and take it in their mouth then spit it out and you'd never feel a thing. If you weren't watching them do it you'd never know.Quote:
