Getting ready to try the lake tomorrow night and looking for some help. Gonna be on a boat and have 2 2 ft green lights for the sides. Curious if anyone has had any luck lately and if they would be willing to share spots and depths they may be at. Gonna be at it all nighy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should be able to locate fish on just about any of the bridges not sure on depth just have to try em and see ! Be careful out their they r a lot if crazy folks that run around or set around and fish without any lights!
Yea was thinking either sauty bridge or brown creek bridge. Not worried about the crazies gonna be posted up with the lights in the water if I fish the bridges haha. They can either whine or come chat and join the help lol. I can play with others when crappie fishing.Quote:

If they chose to bite that late, then yes. :)
Yaw boys giving up too early ! Bridge bite is usually best from 2 am till first light ! Lol but not always
Hell man, I am just trying find them first. I have no problem with taking a power nap on the boat done it many times lolQuote:

Good luck ! They are always fish under the bridges! But they don’t always want to cooperate!
Better be ready for a lot of current as TVA is draining the lakes in anticipation of that hurricane Florence putting a lot of water in the upper parts of the water shed that empties out of North Carolina into the little Tenn river that empties into the big tenn. They are running 64000 cfs at Guntersville with gates open!! I look for the water to drop a foot in the next day or so
I'm with fur if I got to stay out that long I'm going to caption D's. I rarely see a report of anyone catching more the 20 or 30 at night on the big G. I know some times people catch them good but it's not the norm. I can go scratch out 20 in the daytime most days. Good luck hopefully you'll load the boat.

Went to Neely Henry this evening 3:30 to dark. Caught 35 giving or take a few. Probably would have had 15 keepers. If you can stand the heat they are wanting to move into the fall patterns.

Glenn what would you describe as "the fall pattern?"
I had just started trying to learn how to crappie fish around this time last year. I had a miserable fall last year. I'm guessing wherever bait fish are is where the crappie will be, but I thought you might explain what the fall pattern means to you if you don't mind.
There's many patterns. I target docks and deep brush. I'm sure there's more but that's how I do it. I look for docks in 15 to 20ftw. Brush In that same depth. Every lake is different so it may vary where you are. The fish I target tend to be smaller but in great numbers. I'm looking for a good time not winning a tournament. When things are right I'll catch 100+ fish a day and that's fun! And why I love the fall.

Thanks Glenn. I've fished with you. You're being modest. When things are right I'd imagine you'd catch 100 an hour. :)
When they get right I'll give you a call. I wish you could have fished Neely Henry with me 10yrs ago. Before everyone got to shooting docks it was nothing to catch 50+ fish off every dock. I know there's some guy that remember how the coosa river used to be back then and longer ago.

Thanks! I can't imagine how that must have been.
