what type of lure to use

[Guest]

Did you try different depths? I would use a minnow also on the other hole and wait for the night bite.Use a incadescent light to draw in the crappie.

a chartruse lure used waxworms..
i was told i was in ten feet of water
over weed beds which was a good place for crappies.. i didn't get a single bite

The time of the day you were on that weed bed could have a lot to do with catching fish. Also if it were me I would have had about 20 other holes I would have been fishing out of deep and shallow. Some of these glow jigs are really a killer for crappies. Use as small as you can find.

If you were in a contest during the day over 10' of water, the chances of catching crappies were pretty slim. With all of the foot traffic and noise, the fish would be very skittish and difficult to catch. Crappies are pretty much a sunrise or after sunset bite in the winter months.
