Ok since my first crappie fishing year keeps progressing i notice fall which here in tx is sometimes 2 days or 2 weeks maybe 2 months at best with this lovely tx weather, anyway are the summer crappie that are out deep going to make a run all the way back to their spawning grounds? For me that means crystal clear 1-5 foot water 2-5 miles up from main river channel. Or are they going to stage on a ledge, point, hump, tree line, halfway into the creeks? I have read that they will come up then go back deep for winter. Could they possibly crash the banks of the main lake points provided it had cover?

Trying to eleminate wasted fishing efforts best i can
