Thread: Dang fickle fall crappie

Front edge about 9' deep on the one we got the most bites on. The other was 12' on the front edge. I need to try some more shallow too.

I reckon the dang things moved on me. We had a west wind Saturday and an east wind yesterday so that may have made a difference. Plus the FLW is in town and apparently every one of them hits every dock on the lake

Try em Sunday I think they just got tight lipped. The must have heard about the aliens coming to town. Bad for us good for the city.

I've always been told the fish feed all night with that full moon and just not that hungry during the day. ?

With all due respect and admitting my ignorance of how the bite is(or might be) in NE Alabama... I know that the crappies are in much deeper water here in North Carolina right now. I'm talking about 20 feet of water plus on deep creek channels. Here, the crappie will remain in deep water through the month of January... and it's into February before they start making their transition into shallower coves and creek arms. Perhaps you should give the much deeper water a try... after all you have little to loose and much more to gain in your trying. Good luck to you.

K they are up furflyin is a green horn to fall fishing. He as only shot dock a few times. I'm going to take him soon and put him on a few. His lake isn't the best fall fishing around here.

Special K, thanks for the advice. I'm working too hard at this to fail. I'll eventually figure it out. I've scanned every creek channel I've fished and I'm not finding them. There is not a whole lot of 20 FOW on Guntersville unless you're in the river channel and the water out there, unless the wind is dead calm, is like fishing in the gulf, or a washing machine.

The lake is old and deep structure to hold fish down on my end of the lake is mostly gone. TVA has a 15 page document with an absurd amount of hoops to jump through for anyone to legally put out brush piles, etc... Fortunately my reading comprehension skills are poor.
