My experiences are similar to jimmy's. I was fishing crappies on fallen timber in PA and the fish wouldn't even move when my baits ( soft plastics, hair jigs, spinners, worms, etc.) came near them, but a couple of gentlemen came by in a boat with their flyrods and you should have seen those crappies go flying after their hooks. They went for being lethargic just kinda sitting around to chasing their flies down. I learned my lesson and did the same thing the next spring. The only reason I don't fish that way more is I prefer the spinning rod. good fishin
