So I pull up to one of my favorite crappie holes. I use the Lowrance HDS and scan to see the fish. Yep, they're some home plus several shad balls. Fish the 50-100 yard area and it's a feast.....for 15-30 minutes. Double dippin' and the thump was hard. Then nothing. I tried shallow, deep, changes colors, cast and drag, jig under bobber.....nuttin. Wind was horrible but somehow either I messed em up or they all got lockjaw at once. It went from feast to famine.

We've all had that happen. That, and the times you get all excited when a huge crappie hits on the first drop of the day, and then.......nothing.

Well they are finicky little suckers or the first ones I caught were the dummies.

Last time I experienced this it was also really windy, but when they shut down I was able to switch to a small 3/4" jig and get a couple of dinks to bite and then I could go back to the larger 2 1/2" to 3" jig size and pick up a keeper or two. It was like this for about two hours and when the wind would let up so did the bite.
