Livescope Crappie Fishing TARGETING DEEP FISH 

Anytime, thank you

Thanks for the tip, it has something to do with a sealed fuel system for sure.

I want to do some more searching for the issue. I’ll check those areas. Those fish were pretty deep. I need to rig up some short rods with heavier weight, and look for roamers. Thanks

we went today and checked alot of areas, and it was brutally tough,, 2 big hybrids, 8 white bass and no crappie.. I usually never fish the next day or second day after a cold front, especially if its a bluebird clear sky day with heavily fluctuating barometric pressure.. but with rain and wind moving into our area soon, I went when I could.. the single transient fish were on the move, and wouldnt even acknowledge a bait dropped on them. @@CarlosPadillaCentex

That’s awesome, hybrids are the most exciting fish to fight. Yeah it’s pretty random where crappie are right now. I was always searching for schools of them. Now it’s pretty much 1’s and 2’s. I think it’s pretty fun catching one then looking for the next one. So many acres out there, and one tiny jig in the water. Hopefully they get more aggressive.

mornings after bright moon nights, and days after cold fronts are always tough for me on central texas lakes..,. it seems like the fish scatter out along the 100s of thousands of trees in the lake, get tight up against it, and lock thier jaws shut,, the few we catch are more of a reaction bite, because the jig went right in thier faces and they made a split second decision to bite the jig,, and many times thats exactly what they do.,, they dont swallow it, they just nip at it and we set the hook at the right time and hook them.. I saw something interesting on livescope, that I want to see if you have noticed as well.. on post coldfront days, when they refuse to bite, thier sonar return seems very dim,, they dont glow the bright white blob like they do when I find them fired up on brush or timber.,, it is well known that sonar picks up the air bladder in a fishes stomach,, how the new technology projects the image on the screen in digital processes I have no clue,, but heres my theory,, if the fish has its air bladder deflated, due to increases or large variances in barometric pressure in a short period, and all of the fish on the lake are doing the same thing, this may be a very good clue on deciding which fish are willing to bite or not,, every area we checked, they all looked the same,, very dim,, we adjusted our settings several times on livescope, and it made no difference... what are your thoughts ? @@CarlosPadillaCentex

I like all the crucial thinking on this subject. Honestly I might just chop a 1/4inch or 1/2 off every jig from now on. Even if they nip it, they will get a hook. It would be more like a snack after dinner. My gain is usually at 76% during the day, so everything glows very bright. Small minnows should trigger them. If I show a lot of fish the jig and they don’t bite, I’ll live bait sometimes.

Stephan, thanks for watching

Thank you sir, still looking for a 15 incher out here. I’m planning on doing a bass tournament with crappie jigs, haha. Keep catching those huge slabs!

Thank you, hopefully getting some decent weather soon!

The mornings have been extra cold lately. Hoping the weather gives some breaks pretty soon.

Sawzall blade. Shaped it a little bit then bent it. Painted it and it’s just on there with electrical tape.

It’s a Seelite Seefish 2.0. If you plan on getting one, get the solid aluminum knob for it and the new style locking collar. Those parts did break on me after a few years.

Thank you man
