but there are times I see a herd that wont budge and they drive crazy when they do that ….and it is a short drive I promise

I usually fish with about 10 crappie poles with minnows and bobbers but this time of year I use 5 or less because of the bite being so subtle and soft. About 60 % of the catches barely move the bobbers.

I'm seeing some of you LS guys sayn the bite is off or very slow, it might be a better decision to watch your rod and line instead of that expensive pieces of equipment y'all got all this faith in...... Can see the fish breathe....LOL
JMHO.....
Am I a LS hater? Nope, I just KNOW it ain't needed......

I get a kick out of assumptions. I use LS to verify the presence of fish then how they react to my lure often causing a change in my jig size or colors then to alert me that a fish is approaching my bait. At that point I go back to watching my B&M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive 9 foot for the tell tale thump, sway, light weight, heavy weight, line moving rod just as I did before LS. And, no, it is not needed to catch crappie evidenced by Ketchn who catches far more than me without a boat, sonar, or LiveScope. It is just another tool to increase my success. Thanks for chiming in, though. I watch all your videos and have learned a lot from you.

I do too. It could be a humbling experience for one of us.
