    Default What Water Temp starts fall fishing?


    With the cool weather were having here now. And the last cool spell cooling the water down before. What temp starts the fall season of the crappie movement?
    Our water here last week on the Tn River in West Tn was 79.8 Degrees. This am the temps are 55 degrees and north winds :D
    Will know what the water temps are here in a few. Will be going to the lake mid week. So plan on keeping an eye on the temps and see when I find the fish are moving from there deep summer hunts.

    I start to see some increased activity as the temps drop below 75° in the lakes I fish.

    My SWAG is 75 degrees. This number is based on my records Pete. Big Sandy area.

    On my home lake there is always some fish shallow (if you can find them and make'em bite) but seems to me 70* things start happening on the main lake. When it gets to 60* is the time to head up to the headwaters, creeks and rivers for the best fishing of the year. For me anyway!

    Majic temp based on my experience fishing in Rivers is 75. Same in Impoundments. Fish get active once there is a gradual and steady decline in water temp. Bottombumper

    My last trip out the water temperature was 74degrees. Caught a bunch at 9ft. anchored in 30ft water. Of course red/white crappie tubes.

    My opinion is when you get a signifagant surface temp drop ,for us August can mean water temps above 90. So when it drops below 80 it starts, when it drops below 70 hang on!
