Crappie pretty much eat every day. They just are usually not as aggressive when the cold slows their metabolism. Just have to go light, have the right presentation, and be patient. The crappie are not competing against their fellow crappie. The prey has to make it very easy for them. You don't always feel the bite. Sometimes you have to go by what you see. Good news is, it's about to pick up!
I could watch this all DAY!!!!! Poster is that a Garmin 1042 XSV? Even if it's not is there a way to get that "Fwd Rng" Circle off the display? It drives me nuts on my unit and makes me want to trade it in. It's dumb and right in the way every time for me when trying to maximize my screen.
They're from almost any and every direction. The sonar transducer is being aimed at the structure or fish using a rotating mounting pole steer by the end of a smaller pole in my hand. I adjust my rod direction and line depth according to what I see on the screen. In the video, you're seeing exactly what I was seeing on my graph to catch (and miss) the crappie. The jig I used is described above the comments.
That is the Garmin LiveScope sonar being displayed on a GPS Map 1222 Keyed. A fisherman is able to see what is occurring in the narrow beam the transducer is projecting in real time.
I'm glad somebody can catch a crappie in 43 degree water. Crappie on my home lake are on lockdown. Even the white perch stopped biting.

Can you do a video of your settings? Your image has no tree! Very clean.
Nice video
Are most of these shots from the front or side of boat and what type of bait where you using? Thanks for posting this.

Very cool video. Are those crappies among trees?
Yes, I was fishing submerged structure consisting of laid over trees and root balls in the Pearl River.
