It was not unusual to have a crappie look and smell our bait for 30 seconds. They would just turn up their nose up and swim away.

Have a tournament on Harris on July 10, so am going to try a couple of things to see if we can entice a bite. It is so hard to keep minnows alive and active this time of year that we are determined to find a way to get a bite with artificials.
They're such funny, quirky fish sometimes. We fished Santee last month with a guide. We had a minnow out every brush pile we fished, but those fish did not want a minnow at all. We caught 1 fish on a minnow all day. They wanted a BGBS sitting still. Bright colors almost like it annoyed them that it was there. It took coaxing, and by coaxing I mean jig, sitting still, for sometimes minutes, for a fish to bite. They didn't want anything moving at all.

Other times it seems like they don't want anything except a minnow you've juiced up with RedBull lol
