First time ever catching crappie at pleasant. We caught 13 fish on the 2.5 mooch minnow and 4 inch Deps Sakamata shad. They were buried in the trees and would come out to eat on bait balls and your jig. Also first time catching white crappie.

Nice catch, guess the wind didn't beat you up too bad. About how deep where they?

Nice job - that black crappie looks pretty big!

I would spot lock right on top of the tree and drop it straight down like I was ice fishing. Most of the time it was a negative bite, you could see them swim up with it in their mouth. You would have to reel the slack in before they spit it. 20 FOW with the top of the trees being at 10-12. Crappie fishing is very good right now. Went out this past weekend again and caught them doing the same thing.
