Boa I'm late to the party here but if you find the shad on the channel edges of 2nd and first creek you should pick up a couple of crappie but like Scott said it can be hit n miss. This is done pulling cranks mind you. The shad tend to move out into the reservoir and completely scatter on the lower end of the lake.
October is my tailrace time below Wheeler drifting yellowtails.

My fish don't show up till the water cools off and there is no promise when that happens. Wheeler is a fairly big lake and there are a lot of options. First Creek and Second Creek are really good options. Feel free to PM me and maybe I can help, if nothing else a place to get bait.

You are around a lot of good crappie fishing right at Joe Wheeler. I live only about 3 miles away. Around the boat slips at Joe Wheeler are good that time of year. There are also some submerged structures around the golf course on First Creek to.

The back of Second creek across the lake from the cabins holds good crappie and drifting a minnow or jig along the channel ledges should be good. also lots of bait balls in the coves and the depth in those ranges from 2-25 ft so likely can find crappie if you can find the depth they are at which can vary greatly from one day to the next. if you see bass or stripe schooling shad try fishing under them for crappie.

Fish Treetops in 20 FOW in Elk River. Thats a short boat ride EAST of where your staying. Jigs and or minnows on a slip float, If u mark fish in the top use jigs if you mark them on the top of the top fish minnows at the depth they are holding.
