They are genetically identical with regular Black Crappie ... they just have a pigment gene that produces the stripe. Nothing "flawed" about it, just a genetic variation.

Some old posts from 2011 mentioned catching them at Kerr Scott & Jordan ... so NC has Blacknose !!

Catch them often in Ms and in Tn. We always called em racers. Black racing stripe. Seemed to jump out of the water more too.

Yes they do, don't they !! Only Crappie I've ever had jump clear out of the water. Even had one jump clear across the front end of my buddy's Tracker TX17. Most of the ones I've caught have come from Watts Bar Lake in E Tenn.

Pomoxis is a Pomoxis is a Pomoxis..... They all look & taste the same right out of the grease.....

Don't matter to me if they are an P. annularis or P. nigromaculatus.....

I've caught them black nose out of Dardanelle.....

I caught one this weekend.

Talked to a Wildlife Resources officer today about it, he says you are correct! I was digging around last night and found some packs of Betts crappie jigs. We used to fish them in tandem, one around 13 inches above the other, and used to wear them out at Old City Lake in High Point.
