Hey Slabber, your right when you say the river temp needs to drop. I went last tuesday and caught 9 keepers (9.5-10.5"). The main river temp was 77 degrees. I would guess Sept 20th to be when the crappie will start moving back in the creeks in good numbers. October is uaually my favorite month to crappie fish, so it won't be long. I ended up throwing that small mess of fish back to swim again.
