Heck it is a 52 degree water temp down here in central AR on my Home Lake I see your fishing a bridge..one of my fav Fall time patterns to. Congrats on your catch.
Mid 50's with no wind, so I gave it a shot. A little rain, but I kept my float tube under a bridge and had a blast!
I have a bait casting reel on my L action spin rod with markers on the line to give me a exact depth of where my jig is.
Almost Thanksgiving, and the water is cooling down here in PA, water temp 52 near surface. The crappie are staying deep.
I caught about 50, and kept 10 for fillets. Medium size, 8" to 10". Best lures were a Trout Magnet chartreuse, a home tied chartreuse / white marabou jig, and a Gulp Alive minnow.

I fished yesterday too. The water temp at my home lake was 43*. The rain held off for the first 2 1/2 hours, so i got some prime fishing in. Since it was my last day out, i kept a limit. Most were over 10" with a few big ones mixed in. Got them hang gliding jigs over brush in 16ft, 12ft down. Started raining so i called it a day. Putting the boat away but i might do some shore fishing til we get ice.
Very nice!
Looks like an awesome day. WTG!
From the picture I think I know exactly what bridge and what lake but I won't tell! Nice to know they are in there like that! If I ever see you there in a float tube I will give you a boat ride. I am usually in a 16' Lund by my self!!!
Nice fishing for this time of year. It about time to start snowing up there.
All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

spent opening day of gun season for deer scouting ! 25 mph wind ,most of the day .
I too love fishing the bridge pillars.
I have had some super days under the bridges, even my personal best. Sounds like a good day.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
