I need a little guidance here in southern Indiana. In the last couple years I have started targeting crappie with good results. I have always been a hardcore bluegill and catfish guy, but have really grown to love catching crappie. In the spring my two boys and I can limit out on nice keeper slabs in no time, and are back on the gills by lunchtime.
problem is, hot weather. I can catch Gills in any condition, so I end up getting frustrated trying to catch the deeper crappie, and guess what? I end up bluegill fishing.
I can find all the places where fish are, (and even mark them on my finder), I can find cover, humps, channels, etc. but I cannot consistently catch them in this heat.
what am I doing wrong?
