scientific name is >>>> Pomoxis Attractus

I decided to change the scientific name on crappie to cover all of them .
black or white or somewhere in between ,mohawk or not they all now fall under one name scientifically speaking as far as I am concerned :highfive
there is no doubt they are attractive and to be sure fun to ketch and consume .
Yesterday I stopped by a couple of spots and to be sure it was a tough day early on . not many and not much size to them .
I returned to one of the spots about lunch and sure enough just like it often happens it was on like donkey kong in the same spot I struggled to ketch 15 or so in and hour and half 3 hours before that .
So because they are not there and or not biting keep this in mind . they are eating machines and what triggers them to go on the feed is a mystery to me in many cases.
I was sure it would be a hammer festival early and was totally wrong and thought it would be really slow when I stopped back in when the sun was straight up .
Such are these attractive little fisheez and yes I helped a lady load her basket plum full of them my second stop .
She was complaining the basket was heavy and it was going to be a chore to clean all of them .
I was like AND ? :Rofl

That's a nice basket of fish, good eating for her and her family. I think you sent all the heat in Texas eastward. Sun straight up I would have to be in the shade, glad you whacked a few!!

On a good day I call them slabs!

Good report as usual. Funny how one moment they are biting good the next you can't buy a nibble. Funny fish but I enjoy trying for them anyway. KABOOM! :highfive

that's funny my friend , to be sure it is some kind of roasting hot here in the sun that time of day . I have to say though some of my best days slinging crappie have been dead in the middle of the sunshine and heat .
but I have also froze darn near to death and about fell off the dock sliding on frozen crappie slime in the dead of winter too, slinging them like a tv fishing show :Rofl

i use to love the summertime , grew-up in the country and worked outside till i was about thirty ....never even had an air-conditioner in my house until i was about thirty ( but the house was one of those big old houses with high ceilings and big attic )............but then i got an inside job and got soft.....and the older i get the more i dislike the heat....and the heat can sneak up on you and put you out of commission for awhile if you don't watch it......i am retired now and the a/c and i are good friends...........i enjoy your narrative and picture stories , they are fun to read .!

They all gotta eat sometime. Dedicated is the fisherman that can pursue them regardless the weather and prevail. Nice catch, great job.

it makes me smile to know folks enjoy the read and the photos and to be sure thank you all for the comments and views :highfive
