They can be anywhere in the water column. May just be you're not where they are.

I had the same problem so i stayed where the crappie usually are and i put my jig a foot off the bottom then i started to hammer them, as the night got later they started to rise.

Sometimes I jig half way down and they just appear,your transduser eye gets smaller asyou get shallower , if not a school they might be out of veiw,but you can draw them in.

Got into some nice ones this afternoon off a rocky point suspended 16'-18' in 25'-30' deep water. A couple of'em shot out of nowhere to grab my jig and I never saw them before they hit. My puck sits only a few inches underneath the water and the ice was running close to 2' deep, so my 'view column' isn't very wide either. I need to fix that for next season...  ::)
