What's the deepest you guys have vertical jigged crappie? Thanks
For me I will fish off a closed one lane bridge mostly till this year. It's 8 ft to the water and it's 21' deep. Sometimes the fish are on the bottom...
45 to 50 foot of water right on the bottom!!!!!!
32 ft for me. Got a buddy that was fishing bluffs for them last week....they were so deep they were dead when he gottem to the surface.

I catch them through the ice in 35’ of water pretty commonly. In the summer I fish a lot at night in the same area and most of the fish will be in the upper 15’ but there are often some near the bottom even then. I’m not sure what it’s like during the day, I’m a lot better at catching them in the dark.
25 ft for me
Glad to see it's not a problem doing it deep. Next question was do you have any luck doing it at night but looks like that question got answered too. I'm pretty sure i'll be trying it a lot at night with livescope when it gets really tough on my local lake in summer. Do you guys do this too? Thanks
In my limited experience, you'll have to keep every one you bring to the surface from that depth. I don't think they'll survive catch and release from that deep. Keep that in mind if you have a minimum length limit.
i don’t have Livescope, I fish at night with a light and a flasher. I hang a couple lights in the middle of the boat and fish off the end with the flasher transducer hanging over the side. That tells me where the fish are and where my jig is in relation to them.Quote:
