Good Morning All. I got a chance to drop my tube in for a little while last weekend. I started by using Plastic Bobby Garland. I missed a good amount of bites. But when I would bring the jig up. The tail would be gone. Very quick bites. I have always thought I was good at knowing if was a crappie or not. Didn't get any fish but a million bites. Maybe perch?????

turtles

Sounds like little perch to me.

Bream ,Bluegills probably

I had the same thing happen to me. I think it was probably turtles as where the tale was cut off, it looked like a knife or scissors were used. Very straight edged.

yeah. It was a clean cut almost everytime. Went to homemade and the bit slowed wayyyyy down.

I have found that dropping to the bottom and a slow retrieve I have less bite offs

I missed a bunch of short strikes yesterday evening, downsized and starting catching the culprits. Went from slim stick to stump bug. Bunch of midgets

Its perch. Have it happen all the time. You got to realize perch spawn 4-5 times in the summer.

Shorts
