Don't worry about spooking the fish when fishing good brush. Any noise only concentrates the crappie back into the brush. If they were feeding actively before, they'll still be hungry when spooked into the brush.Originally Posted by Okie Bob
One summer, when my daughters were younger, we were fishing a good brushpile on the starboard side of the boat. The bite had slowed somewhat and they complained about being hot and wanted to swim. They had their life jackets on and I told them to jump in, but on the port side of the boat. Three girls out in the water less than 10' from the brush pile. Splashing and cackleing like women do, the crappie went deeper into the brush and started nailing my jig! The noise concentrated the crappie in the area back into the brush!
I loaded up at least 15 more keeper fish in less than 15 minutes. Once the spot was fished out, we moved to another brush pile so they could swim some more!
It's a favorite tactic of mine during the hot summer months.
I dare you guys to try it!

Reaper, I think you are on to something here!
I live on Cedar Creek Lake in ETx which has a LOT of personal boat houses surrounding it. One of my favorite docks was have some heavy duty landscaping going on, replacing the metal retaining wall. They use a barge mounted machine to pile drive the sheets of steel into the ground. Anyway, I decided to shoot the dock anyway, thinking the fish would have run for cover. To my surprise, my first three shots resulted in three nice slabs! Go figure

I have a 9t on order, also ordered the gofree wireless last night. My budget won't let me get two big boy units, but with the gofree, it'll almost be like having another touch up front. I'm eyeballing the spotlight as well.

You'll love the 9Touch! Went out today, bluebird day here, could not have asked for more. Caught 50 and cleaned 28 nice ones. Between two of us of course. Caught mostly on brushpiles in 12' of water. Started the morning on rock seawall next to spillway with 11 nice fish. It looks like we are starting to enter post spawn and I love it!
