Haven’t really caught good sized crappie consistently all summer. Haven’t really caught but 1 or 2 a trip since back in the spring. Finally found a school of bigger crappie today15-16 inch really wide crappie. And I noticed out of that school all but one were white crappie (lake is full of em) and a black crappie (the biggest I caught today). Do they usually mix in schools? I know they tend to be bigger and are a little harder for me to catch sometimes.

Damn good question !!

It's an interesting question and I don't really know. Most of what I catch fishing on Lay and Martin are the blacks, and I catch very few whites. I don't know if the lakes have more blacks, or if I catch more because of the way I fish, targeting schools of crappie in deeper water. It may be that the blacks are just more likely to school that way. I usually make a picture of whatever I catch to sort of keep a record of it. Here's a pic from September of a big white with all the rest looking like black ones.

Ive sit onem an just caughtem 1 right after the other and it be 6 of one…half dozen of the other…but most of the time i catchem and its skewed heavily towards black crappie with whites mixed in. Now…i aint got n electronics no more…i just fish where they ortah be…so someone with livescope might have a better guess.

I have livescope and not sure you can tell one from another on that… if you can, I can’t. But the lakes I fish I can catch all white and a few blacks in one. Drive 10 minutes and catch all black with a few whites in a different lake… just got me curious today .

Most of the lakes I fish are all Black Crappie. I fish Gantt and Point A and catch both together all the time.

Probably catch 6 to 1 black on Guntersville.

Looking at some of my pics and about the same at our camp

Kept about 15 more today and caught probably 30, all white same spots

Hey crappie man. Check your PMs please.
