it's officially over for a few months
the shallow dock crappie left and went north with the bait
it happens every year about this time
bass show up and the crappie get small and then they are basically gone
onto the full winter program for me
them fall fish are gone ....just saying :banghead
Hmm looks like you caught two there so are they really gone or……..jus messin bro. I enjoy your posts very much.
Gone but not safe from the KABOOM. I don't think they can hide from you.
The last couple of times out , the 14-16 ft brushpiles are not holding as many fish , the 18-22 ft pile are holding much more,
we don't have many 24ft or deeper piles , but they were not holding any yet.
your mileage may vary

Some nice ones
yes sir pretty sure , once you spend a few years chasing them off the bank you learn pretty quickly when the percentage rate drops to less and then less and then nada in lots of locations , not too big a deal for me most of the time , they haven't been abducted by aliens or all ketched out as you often hear , they have just packed up and went somewhere else ....:highfiveQuote:

The fish here stay on brushpiles into January most years( sometimes all winter) I have not mastered open , deep water crappie fishing. Maybe I will have
more success this year.

put on a 1/8 and hold it rather still , some lakes they spread out across flat bottoms in deep water .....Quote:

they will knock the paint off a jighead for sure ....they really do not thump harder than fish on deepwater flats in the winter mode ....
You are correct for sure. You can add LOP to the list. The flats down near the dam the bottom is clean and the crappie must be doing a flounder impression. Sometimes impossible to see on electronics but if you drift along dragging bottom they will bite a jig or minner.Quote:

seen it often in the winter time , sometimes the bottom appears on the graph to have some really tiny spots on it .....Quote:

Same here I think they bury in the mud.
That's what has been wierd about couple of my home lakes. same docks and bank areas have been producing steadily since june. everytime I have gone there has been crappie there. not always the biggest but still plenty of action to make it loads of fun.
