Guy calls me and says how come I'm not catchin'em. I said, "Are you sure you in the right spot on the pond." He sends me this footage tonight. I guess that answers my original question. lol

Crappies are easy to catch when their mood is right. When their mood is wrong, think of your pond as an aquarium.
My experience is that BCP are one of the worst fish to catch when the barometer is down/falling and one of the easiest when it's up/rising.
Evidently the guy's bait was similar to an overly eager young gentleman with hefty case of BO going into a club full of pretty girls. The 'ladies' get close and then turn away. "How come I can't get any bites?"
