Don’t know about others but when there’s a lot of shad I don’t go threw the shad I have better luck out away from the shad. Vary colors and speed until you see what they like. Watch how far back you throw out. Experiment in shallow water so you know how deep your jigs are going down.
I agree with what he is saying. I think he is fishing below the crappie. I did the same last year. I wore the the big cats out this time of year fishing with two 1/16 jigs through shad balls. Was lots of fun (caught over ten 2-6lb cats) but to catch crappie, I had to change to one 1/16oz jig and not as deep. One 1/16oz with curly tail thrown one cast behind boat works for me. Only problem I have is catching four or five short 9-3/4" fish before getting a keeper.
