If they were indeed Crappie and would not hit small artificials, try going back with a bucket of small live minnows.. I have seen times when they would not touch jigs, but would instantly hit a live minnow.. Killies are terrific if you can find them as are fatheads.. Anything really, including small shiners. Lower them down to the depth you are reading fish at with a split shot a couple feet from a fine wire hook, or these days a lot of guys use the drop shot rig.. If those fish you are reading are crappies they will surely hit live minnows, so will perch and white perch...
