Excellent!
Nice catch, I never caught a crappie more than 30 ft down until Tuesday. lol I need to fish Stockton more!
Good Job Richard, we could not find a parking place at Cedar ridge so launched at State Park, lots of boats, lots of fish on graph, but hard to get to with twenty plus boats on top of them, and it was only Ladybear and I in boat everyone else had 4-6 folks per boat, when I caught one usually someone would crowd close enough I could just toss in their livewell, gonna stay home and replace my water pump impeller today....Quote:

Nice Haul, Richard. Them's deep!!
So...what size bait were you using? and....if it were something small and light, did you use a sinker + leader line to get the small/light jig down there faster? Or just wait ages for it to sink that far?
So I was using a double rig 1/4 oz with a 1/16 above. Because I want to get back into them fast. Pink head for some reason really mattered. Monkey milk or chartreuse tail got faster bites. If you don't see them on your screen you won't get bit. Little tap set hook. If you have problems drop to bottom feel up 5 turns slowly feel up.
Auto correct really made my comment look silly��
I reel ya!!
Autocorrect, amiright?!
I figured you had to have some weight on there to get back down in 'em.
Also...I tend to lose contact with my jig when I get that deep. Especially if it's a super small 16th or 32nd jig I typically use only in cold water months.
So...did the 1/4oz jig get bit that much then? Or at all?
good questions JD, only time I fished that deep was down on KY lake when I caught my PB, only one, way back in the day and thought I was snagged. Hard to feel that deep.
great job richard
Congrats Richard. I am sure that their eyes are bugged out coming from that deep.
good job Richard
Well hello catman long time hope you are well. Joedog that 5lb braided line with a floro leader really lets you feel a bite when that deep. And yes 1/2 of the fish probably came off the bigger jig. That lightweight braided line is on my walleye rod and for jig fishing casting or vertical it is the ticket to lite bites. And LSL your right a few of the short fish and one little bitty walleye floated for some time till they recovered. Probably why the eagles were sitting in the tree line watching.
