Well, I guess I have lost my ability to catch crappie. Check out the thread on the SC Forum titled "1rod jigging for crappie Jordan lake, NC". "Slabslammer1" has caught more White Crappie in 1 trip than I have caught in over (6) years. Maybe, I need to go back to jigging (1) rod.

Maybe there is another Jordan lake somewhere.... :)Quote:

Slabslammer must have got his lakes confused. All those white crappie didn't come out of the Jordan Lake I know.
I tend to think the same thing. I've been fishing Jordan Lake since it was created and I don't ever remember seeing that many white crappie caught by one person. If they did come from our Jordan Lake, the white crappie must spawn at a different time and this guy found where they were bedding.
I gave up trying to distinguish crappie by their color a long time ago. The only real way to tell is by counting the dorsal fin spines. I can't tell from the pictures if they are white crappie or not. Water clarity and light penetration play a large role in how dark or light a crappie appears.Quote:

Nice fish,
Or been dead a while and hauled around in warm water. I think the reason people, myself included, think they are white crappie, is the vertical bars still visible on their sides.Quote:

He went back to basics one rod no distractions, right place at the right time and got very lucky.
