You are right about them scattering like a covey of quail (sometimes).
I pretty much keep my Livescope on forward and search for them at 20-30 ft. When I find fish, turn it to 20ft. I never get any closer than 15ft from target. My jig poles are 13ft and when single polling I’ll pitch past the target and let bait come from behind them into striking range.
Deep water??
Don’t recall ever catching a Crappie deeper than 15-18 FOW.
I use a 2021 Ultrex and yes it could be a little quieter.
I enjoy pushing double minnow rigs.
Fish alone and only fish 4-14 footers.
Livescope on 20ft and I can see my minnows and weight.
Thanks
Chuck
