Sounds like it was a great day. We had some good luck after talking to you. We moved to LA and found some fish in 30 feet of water. Steve my cousin was happy with a good mess of fish. :cheers2 Thanks for the great pictures with some clown sticking his tongue out. :Rofl

That is a good looking bunch of fish. Congrats. If you don't mind, maybe you can help a newbie to livescope crappie fishing out. Once you find a school like that, how are you catching them and how are you keeping the boat on them? Are you using minnows or jigs and what type of setup, like one rod, more, etc.? Any help is appreciated. I have been able to find a few schools but then I struggle to get them to bite and keep the boat positioned on them.

I broke down and bought me a livescope this past week. I had it out this afternoon for first time and it works great! I found a few schools and some single fish but couldn’t get them to bite either. Seeing ain’t catching!

Cool,you’ll love it. Watch how the fish react to your jig, if they don’t react try something different. I have 4 retrieves I try. One will usually get a reaction. Seeing your jig and the fish without moving the transducer means you have the bait close to the fish. Casting accuracy is critical. They won’t move but a few feet to get the bait, but if they react they will follow a long ways.
