I was out yesterday and I came across a few spots that were swarming with fish. I'm guessing crappie, and perch mixed. So far so good, but.....
I had really hard time getting any bites. I was dunking minnows on 3 rods, one 10 ft, 20 ft and 30 ft. Not much action.
I did pick up a nice crappie or two when making a turn and the baits swung over structure.
I'd sweat there were hundreds down there.
I only tried minnow.
In this situation should I try jigs with variety of colors and one rod with minnows?
I always assumed minnows were number one bait.

thanks,
