Ever seen a Crappie bite ?

Centurion and Happy Fisherman , Crappie will follow a bait down once they lock on at times . But most bites come with bait above . I think they have easier time seeing the bait highlighted against the surface. Livescope sure is fun to see how they react to baits, presentation and conditions.

The general concensus since the advent of ffs is do not jig a jig, but fish it like a minnow, for crappies anyways

But hold a jig on them and it was still possible to catch limits .

WOW that was a great video. And it was very enlightening. Thanks
