Two things I am convinced of John ....when it comes to fish, the words "always", and "never", deserve very limited usage!

Usually, sounds better most times, including this one!

Thanks for the link Tony ! Do the Hybrids ALWAYS sport the 7 spines like the Black Crappie as far as you know .?

I've read that Black and White Crappie can hybridize .Anyone have a pic of a hybrid Crappie?

Thank you Dick .Hope to try this spot tomorrow and I wish  the wind will be from the N,NW but its projected to be from the W/SW. May have to try another spot the wind is blowing to.

Good stuff John looks like you caught some quality fish.

Comment by John Sheehan on November 10, 2013 at 9:09am

Here are a  a few nice Crappie that I got onto 11/4/13.The wide 12" took one of the jigs on a tandem rig that was wiping up on Yellow Perch .About 6 of the 8 Crappies took a squirrel Tail Jig/1"Chartruese twister tail ,floated  .The Crappie  were coming out under leaves blown to the end of the lake on the rip rap .I was in the right place at the right time.

i believe this to be the defacto standard manual on crappie ever written. this happens to be my second copy... the first copy i purchased in the mid eighties was lost in the move i made to my latest residence. found it on amazon! it is a very worthwhile read.

Tried out this Crappie Tandem spinner/tube jig  rig from shore the other night but couldn't reach the feeding rise I suspect where Crappie (maybe White Perch).I put more line on the reel and it casts about 50 ' now. Anxious to try it out in the boat. I have   a rubber float stop before the top spinner and the bottom spinner is tied into the line .when the tubes wear out I'll use twister tails.
