White/Black Crappie
Got out on Priest Saturday morning for some crappie fishing. "Only 30% chance of an afternoon storm" said the weather man. Well about 11 or so, i was headed off the water from the 100% storm cell that was headed my way. After that little intermission, i was back at. Had to re-adjust my location back to normal lake levels after all the high water. i found the fish in 14-15ft, lots of gills and small cats too!
One thing i did notice and has me wondering was how the crappie were hitting. I was using minnows and hooking them so they were really squirmy. Maybe this was just a coincedance, but the white crappie would smash that minnow like it owed it money, but the black crappie were a bit more moody, with the typical peck peck peck they like to do.
are the 2 fish that different tempermant wise that even in the same school, all the white crappies would crush it, while the black crappies bit like they were too good for my gas station minnows? LOL.
got my limit so im not complaining in no way, just curious as to why that might be.
