In the Fall the Crappie will start followin the shad into the mouths of feeder creeks,ect. Channel intersections are another likely spot.They will start schooling up and put on the feedbags for Winter.When you get on a school bustin shad it doesnt get much better! I for one enjoy Fall Crappie fishin more then Spring.We catch most in 8-10 ft. of water on jigs.Never overlook lay & blowdowns either,I"ve caught a bunch off these in that depth!!Hope this helps ya some!!
