Wheeler in Oct.

Hey guy's, I'm going to be at Wheeler in mid Oct. catfishing and was wondering if the crappie bite would be any good then too. Looking to take a day off and crappie fish. We are staying at the cabins at Joe Wheeler State Park. Any help or advise would be appreciated. Bo

Well maybe this will help get a response. ROLL TIDE!

Sorry no one answered you not a lot of guys here fish wheeler. You might get some answers on the Mississippi forum. I would think it would be great crappie fishing in October but I've never been to wheeler.

Thanks 175, I figured since it was in Al. some would know.

Wheeler is great year round, but my fishing is ultra shallow and specialized. All my fishing year round is in 6 feet of water or less and from a kayak.

I can't figure out why you'd send him to the Mississippi board for advise on an AL lake.

I did not respond basically because it was a loaded question. You can catch crappie on Wheeler year around and if you are in the right area it can be good in October. I can't predict if it will be great at that time but the odds of catching them would be good in my opinion but they will not be biting in every location you fish.

Some of the Mississippi guy fish wheeler and pickwick.

What part of the lake are you goin to?

Ill be staying at Joe Wheeler cabins so mostly the lower lake area.
