Does ANYONE really troll for Crappie in the fall and actually catch a good number?
I think it’s a myth.

Nope ain't no myth
It works great ! Scattered fish = long lining in the fall
have not done a lot of trolling on Wylie but used to do good on Wateree back in the day
whatever back in the day means. == I would guess it means before G P S, cruse control,
spot lock,and all the other 20,000$ worth of equipment on trolling motors we have now LOL
anyway trolling does work you lust gotta figure out what speed and what jig to use.
Yep, it works!

One of the best times of the year!
Nope....cant catch anything trolling.nonono
Had I remembered to put my drain plug in, I could have told you if it worked or not Friday. :Rofl
Works great. For everybody but you ! Try some of the spots we fished back in the spring. If you can remember that far back.
It works great- you have to have the depth right and the right colors they want. This time of year go with a darker color. Black & grey is good in any water. I hope this helps.
It works Brett, but it is somewhat lake dependent. Can't speak on Wylie necessarily, but all lakes have their techniques at certain times of the year. Greenwood is a trolling lake, Murray is hit or miss for trolling, wateree sets up better for tightlining in the late fall and winter months, and Clark's hill is the just the best of everything lol.
Fall is the time of year when fish are scattered and chasing bait so trolling is great option to catch them. I think it really depends on how deep the fish are and if you can reach them trolling. For me, if I've got to run speeds .5 or less I'd just assume tightline, but others are hardcore trollers and they catch them too.
You can find them and catch them! Just go do it and post all the pics for us to see!!!

Listen to what CB said and try it
Find a skinny water flat with schools of bait fish present and all kinds of fish are feasting!
Here's a few pics of Greenwood LL catches recently.
Cover lots of "productive" water with lots of jigs at depth of fish=

Also expect tangle lines from catching the other species of fish. LOLQuote:

Brett, I think it was gabowman that said it one time! If your not catching then it's time to move and fish where fish are. Scout before wasting time ! Wylie is a tuff lake to longline on all year. Tight lining or casting to brush is probably the best right now. :dono
Good luck let us know if you hit the jack pot!:biggrin
Longlining is whole different story, right Butch! :RoflQuote:
