School "N"
I was at rough today and I could see schooling fish under the schools of fry , I dont think they were hybrids because there was too many of them and the sonar return was not big enough to be hybrids but i have to wounder if it was big schools of crappie . I could see flashes of the fish as they were hitting the shad minnows but for all my efforts I could not catch one of them. I used every thing from flukes to small roster tails but not one fish.
School me a little here guy's what gives and how do i catch them What ever they are..

Re: School "N"
i was there a few weeks ago and there were bass busting on shad everywhere. i was throwing a worm and only caught one on it. however my brother was throwin a crankbait and caught a couple. so i decided to start trolling for them and we caught a decent amount in a few hours. i'm not saying that those were bass but maybe if you try trolling for them you may have a little bit of luck because your bait will stay in the strike zone longer.

Re: School "N"
I didn't do any trolling . If it was bass , It would be the biggest scholl of them I had ever seen.
I even had live minnows I tried using the smallest split shot 1/16th and a little hook just toss it out there and let it sink slow but no takers. The weather was suckish yesterday and that could of made them a little picky.
It would rain get real humid and then it would clear out and cool down then it would do it all over again.
Thanks for the help.

Re: School "N"
Just got back from there today and i saw exactly what you were talking about. I could not determine what fish it was but im assuming they were crappie. Caught quite a few bass with a watermelon seed in their area though. The bass were going crazy for some plastic.

Re: School "N"
It must be crappie because no else is saying anything about it. I will have to watch for people spider rigging for them. I may even try it myself this week. Thanks for the reply and if you figure it out send me a PM and let me know what you did to catch them and I will do the same for you folks.

Re: School "N"
The bait fish was in a ball and if I'm right the bigger fish under it is not eating there just following them around until feed time.
