Greg and I vertical jigged up about 9 Crappie between 12-15" in 8-12 ' of water . 3" Mojo reefer,3 and 4" Keitech  Easy Shiners took them .The Crappie are definitely more  aggressive now .

Comment by John Sheehan on September 19, 2016 at 3:45pm

Happening today too.Took bigger 4" bait better today . 16th oz head on a Keitech ES.

Crappie fishing is on at the home lake ,lots of 8-10 " hitting 32nd tube jigs mostly . Some more aggressive fish hitting the 2" and 4" 'Keitech easy shiners'. Fishing the lake I caught the 12" below ,tomorrow afternoon to dark bite .I'll be with brother Greg hunting for them and other species , Gill, Bass, Perch, Pickerel.

Only one but hope this bodes well for a Crappie turn on ! 12"

Comment by John Sheehan on May 13, 2016 at 1:56pm

Regarding Black Coloring of Crappie being Male only , here is a quote from ,'In-Fisherman Critical Concepts 2 ;Crappie Location ': "Crappies turn dark to absorb maximum sunlight .The heating process then keys their metabolism for greater feeding and  quicker egg maturation . Some anglers suppose that only Males turn coal black" Apparently both sexes do .Could this be at all true of Bluegills and other fish?
