My summer poor on South end of Rayburn.
Had a dismal summer for crappie on lower Sam Rayburn. Brushpiles old and new in ~30FOW that worked last year did not yield fish for me. Hopeful that the fall bite is better. Anyone willing to offer tips as to area and depth that would be worth a try for the next few months?

The only time I ever really had great fall crappie fishing was on a spot that had lots of Hydrilla and the water was 15' deep, but dropped off a lot on both sides. I killed them long line trolling on top of that Hydrilla just going back and forth over that area. If I go this fall I will look for Hydrilla and maybe 15' water depth with deep water near by.

I should also say I was using the 1/32 Oz Roadrunners when that was going on. I do the same thing in spring, but just shallower water. Usually go about .4 MPH.

If the fall move is on I would sure take a look around Farmers Flat is it has Hydrilla! If you have been on the lake lately can you tell me if there is any Hydrilla?

Hydrilla is slowly coming back. I don't think there is much if any at Farmers Flat but I know of some good growth in the Caney Creek area extending out to about 12 FOW.

Man I would live there a while! Try the edge of that and if that doesn't pay off try long lining over it with a 1/32 Oz jig!Originally Posted by wes75951

It's great to keep a log of what worked last year but never ever live by it..... my favorite saying is listen to the fish, they will tell you want they want, where they want it & how they want it..... always always give every option a try weather it be depth, jig color/size, action & type of structure. Skip brought up something I have found crappie are usually always happy near drop offs & those drop offs allow one to try several different depths to find where they will feed....FEESH ON....
