what am i doing wrong

All of the above is correct, but they've left out something I find very important, sometimes you just aren't holding your mouth right.

^^^^^^This is the biggest reason you were not catching.

Wanted to say what wannabe did, a few days ago, but resisted, as some people don't appreciate humor.

Sad, but true.

Anything smaller, and it also includes smaller hook. But you can also still use the same hook, but just put a smaller plastic on it. You might even try some small flies.

Bobby Garland Itty Bitty Swimmers. The largest hook that you can put in one is a #8 and a #10 would work better.

I made some small hand ties with 1/32 ounce jigs with #8 hooks and caught several fish with them shooting docks a couple weeks ago. As good as they hit the small baits I’m definitely going to start using them more often.

you might want to try really tiny on really light line . a 1 inch bait on a 1/64 number 8 and 4 lb test might be the trick .
i have seen some really large crappie fall for a really small bait on multiple occasions .
especially in water with clarity , black crappie eyesight gets better as the water chills off according to what i have read on some studies done up in the northern US.
and NEVER wait to feel a bite when you to try to ketch crappie , they are the kings of the NON bite ...
watch your line and "ZEN" up , if you imagine a bite , it might be one ....

ive turned the radio on and started catching fish before.

The wind started blowing one time and the fish quit biting.

You have to be as creative as NHRA Pro Stock...if you do what the others do, youll catch what they catch.

Is there any chance they weren't catching crappie, but were catching white bass? White bass, hybrids, and stripers are often caught deep by jigging slab spoons.

they were crappies, when i was drifting and not paying attention, we got close they were crappie, nothing big but were probably catching most on every cast and every other cast for sure.
