    How's the crappie bite?

    This is for all the fishermen on Tbh, how is the crappie bite In Your area? And have they been hitting in lately? I tryed about a month ago but haven't tryed since.

    I hit Palestine this past Monday. I could see the crappie in the shallows, but couldn't get them to hit a jig... period. Tried at least ten colors/schemes, all of which have been successful in that area in the past... nada.

    That said, I've gotten into them the other couple of times I've been able to shake loose.

      Here, they are good early in the mornings and slower throughout the day. Evenings they seem to be moving to deeper waters 10-15 FOW, on brush piles. Bite mornings good on jigs. Pink head, black body and chartruese tail. Evening minnows working better.

        I haven't found them and I've tried shallow to deep. This weather is screwing everything up, pushing them out with cold fronts. Last 3 I caught were on brush piles in 14' and the female was full of eggs (last week). When it is warm for a period, the wind keeps me off the lake and here I sit with lots of self hand-tied jigs of varying colors and weight.

          Have you tried minnows? And my buddy caught one last week and she was slap full of eggs, so I would think they would be moving into shallower water now.
