Thought I would take a couple of hours trying to find some Crappie on Hubbard. I�ve never really targeted Crappie, but I�m determined to change that. I started by looking for Crappie suspended out in the open relating to baitfish. I read that here on the forum. I found Shad out in open water, but no Crappie. I thought I would scan a couple of creeks out in open water, I side scanned these trees and thought this looked like Crappie in the trees. But I�m not sure, I fished them for a while but no takers. It made me doubt my idea that these are actually Crappie. I know we have a lot of expertise in this forum, so I thought I would get some other eyes on this. What do you think?

Hard to tell but looks like bait to me

I'd say they're not too far away with that structure and amount of bait..... Drop aahh jug on it.....

If that's down from the 2 creeks by heath boat ramp yep that's crappie by chance are you on A dock

Looks like bait and fish on trees

I'd say the big balls are bait and the small shapes are individual fish.......just my .02

I used to get the same returns on Lewisville. It�s probably where zebra mussels have attached and spread through the trees.

Yes, I�m on A dock @ Harbor Bay. This image was North of the 30 Bridge.

large baitfish balls over some medium sized crappie underneath and hanging tight to cover. , but the crappie are inactive. if the baitballs were spread out and alot more scattered, then that would indicate active feeding fish. remember, finding the fish is alot easier than timing thier short feed window this time of year. I would try early in the morning or late in the evening., they may only feed for an hour or less.
If those baitfish are staying in that area, then you can bet thier are gamefish nearby.

If I had to guess, I would say its bait fish ...

Here a graph of actual fish

That looks like bait. These were crappie. Think we cracked 100
