JPP 7/21- Hybirds/whites but no crappie

[JeffsLowe]

This is probably no surprise for you guys that regularly fish for them, but this AM I saw the biggest feeding school I have ever seen of hybrids/whites. The water was torn up for about a quarter mile long by about 50 yds wide. Biggest was only about 15", but it was literally a fish every cast for about 20 minutes.

But I found exactly zero crappie for the 1st time this season? Any tips on what depth they are hanging out at?

I know what ya mean about the whites/hybrid...i didnt have a school that big, but a fish on almost every cast! thats alot of fun!
i also feel your pain on the crappie. My next outing im gonna search the 20ft depths around brush and see what i come up with. I cant seem to find any numbers this year either.

Sounds to me neither of you have much to complain about....LOL.

Lol....i wont complain about catching....just cant seem to find the big schools of crappies this year. Might just be "one of those years"
But yeah, i will take some hot action on those small hybrids over nothing anyday i can get it! lol

OK ,, I need to know what bait and location to verify these claims. :D

I can find crappie around bamboo I put out about two year ago about 20 feet deep. I seem to miss the jumps. I get out early am. Maybe need to try afternoon?

[TNBronzeback]

I had the opportunity to get a whole bunch of bamboo a month ago....i should have got it all to make crappie brush!
how long does bamboo last in the water?

[agelesssone]

Over six years that I can personally attest to.

Probably longer than that.

Three or five years if out it green. Next time call me I will share locations. Best put out winter. Will be ready spring summer. See crappie com. Structure
