What am I doing wrong

[livemusic]

My initial reaction was that it is bream. But even at that, if you got a hundred hits, it seems impossible that you didn't snag one!

Do yourself a favor and book a day with a good guide.

Tell him you’re more interested in learning than in filling the freezer.

Little Gaspergou can drive you nuts biting like that and they look like crappie on the sonar too.

not sure , possibly bream , but with a 1/32 you should hook a few of them .
don't bend out the hook , that ain't helping you none for sure .
hard to diagnose without actually being in the boat beside you .
to far for me to drive , drag yourself here and we will cure whatever is up first trip , promise
BUT YOU MUST PROMISE TO GO HOME afterwards ......

Try using a Sabiki rig and don't set the hook- let the fish keep hitting until you get one on. Tip it with a small piece of worm if necessary. My guess is small perch and not crappie down there.

Not familiar with a Sabiki rig. Could you explain. Also thanks to all you guys for you advice. Could you all tell me what size jig and what size hook should I use. What size line. I bought 2 of the BnM 12 foot duck dynasty poles put 6 lbs clear line on them. Seems to break off awful easy.

Id personally be asking the guide to go with me in my boat.
That way he can critique both you and your boat setup.
It can shorten the learning process by a great amount.

1st thing I'd say is you gave up too easy.....2hrs ain't enough time to fully diagnose a issue and besides that a hundred hits in that amount of time I ain't going nowhere......
How do you set your hook? Well maybe check out my latest post it'll show you how to properly set the hook and get crappie in your boat...... Paper Mouth....LOL
YANK.....

Just drop one nibbles on a size 8# hook down there and see if that's Bluegill .
