Here in east Texas where I fish, the water has cooled down to the mid 80’s on the two lakes I fish most of the time, I think mostly due to all the rain we have been getting because we just got our first cool front. I have been catching a few crappie in shallower water, from 3 to 6 feet, but they are all small, only on 10” crappie out of about a dozen that I caught shallow. However, when I go to the brush piles I fish in deeper water, I catch bigger crappie. The brush piles are in 18 to 20 feet of water with the crappie in about 15’ of water. Question is, will the bigger crappie eventually follow the smaller ones to the shallow water for a fall feeding? And if so, how long will they stay shallow?
Thanks for your answers.
