Thread: Are these crappie?

I'm going with bass.

Same here. The returns are a little large for crappie. Their returns are a lot smaller.

Any Walleye in that lake, sure looks like some marble eyes to me

I would have to agree with the consensus that they may not be crappie - they look a little large. Pretty tightly stacked together - so they don't look like walleye.

Thanks guys. No Walleye in this lake...sounds like they are bass. I see a lot of pics of crappie where they are schooled up in a "tower" type formation. Do they generally stack up like that? Is that what I should be looking for every time I hit the water?

I've found that some times what I see as a "tower" formation is a single "stob" or tree trunk with fish suspended up and down it - but our interpretations may be different. It also depends on how they are "schooling" - some times in "clumps" of three to ten, sometimes large schools will look like clouds. In the Championship at Grenada - we would mark "scattered" fish - where some of them were showing up as "individuals". Please be careful with my "opinion" on this matter due to the fact that I have a lot to learn about "reading crappies on sonar and imaging"! But that is what is so fun about fishing!
