So, in the fall
what is the primary factor to move the crappie into shallows: 1) water temp, 2) shad feeding, 3) reduced sun light, 4) water level, 5) all the above??????
I'm guessing water temp in the main lake to get the shad into the warmer shallows for feeding and the crappie follow them in. BUT, I also know that the position of the sun REALLY affects other critters, but not sure bout fish.
I also know that there is not as much weather variation in the fall, but the corps is beginning to get to winter pool. All that affects the fish location.
And........go!!!

Instead of trying to figure out what the crappie will do try to figure out what the shad will be doing. Rick Clunn said that an old Indian relayed that tidbit to him one day referring to bass rather than crappie.
Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The sheep live in fear of the wolf but in the end it's the shepherd that eats them.
