Those are white CrappiE .I only catch Black Crappie here in NJ.

Dwayne-They hit plain jigs or tipped with bait?

Thanks John, We were jig fishing, brush off of bridge. They Were in about 8ft of water. We would let jig hit bottom, then reel up about a foot.

Have to get the boat out I have not caught an ice out Crappie from shore yet here in New Jersey. Its been mostly Yellow Perch Bluegills and Pumpkinseeds .With a lonely White Perch and some dink Bass. Jigs and spoons, Mealies and spikes slip floated.

Was able to finally get out last Sunday 2-13-11 (first time since December) and was able to catch a handfull of some 8-9" Crappies and a 4lb Northern Pike (Catching that on crappie gear is a blast!)  Nothing huge but February is such a dead month out on the ice that I was thankfull to get any.  This is a small Northern Minnesota lake near Duluth. We have been hovering around 0 degrees for weeks but finally got a break. This outing on the ice was a balmy 45 deg!  Had the whole lake to myself. Other than wishing I had a friend to share this with I could not have asked for a better outing. Love those Crappies through the ice!!
