Crappie friday & sunday!
Well after missing out on blackfish Friday due to the wind & my partner banishing me to decorate their apartment for Holiday, my choices were go sit in a bar or find somewhere to fish. I chose the latter & decided to hit a few ponds in deep south NJ for bridesburg barracuda. Looked on the Google maps & set out. 1st 3 ponds I had 1 bite & nothing to show. Found another to investigate & again more cockolla, I saw what looked like a school of yellow perch so put on a small jig n gulp caught some sunfish then found the mother load of sacalait! Was watching them eat the jig in crystal clear water right under my feet as many as ya wanted & even the little guys were chubbers. Glad I decided to stop here for sure!
On SUnday, we forced our hungover butts outside & had an absolute sacalait slaughter. Slabbos & pretty much every cast for 2hrs on every jig & plastic ya wanted didn't matter don't know how many we caught was stupid fun ultralight fishing. Hit union lake on way home & Devon got a yellow perch on 1st cast to win the #specieswar hope this crappie fishing stays like this

Re: Crappie friday & sunday!
jmurr, would appreciate any tips you might feel like giving out. No crappie experience to speak off. Hit my local lake yesterday, which is loaded with em, marked tons of fish, but couldnt buy a hit no matter what i did. Must be doing something wrong. Thanks

Re: Crappie friday & sunday!
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...

Re: Crappie friday & sunday!
they can certainly be picky, but i gotta say it's odd to not catch any at all if they're there... if the place has deep water with structure or structure nearby deep water this time of the year that's where i'd fish. it can be tough from shore if that's how you're doing it cause if you have to suspend the lure/bait a few feet above them in 20-30ft of water you'd need a slip bobber. drop shot rig with a long leader to the weight will work too if they are near bottom feeding upward.
