The white crappie will follow the shad more so than the black crappie
Noticed yesterday when launching the boat, tons and tons of small shad jumping everywhere. Now with our lake being about 2ft low, and the bayous having only around 1.5-2fow of water in them, will the shad still move in them and the crappie follow?

Most fishermen don't really understand how shallow Crappie go all year on some lakes
crappie are just like everything else. they will go where the food is. I have caught crappie with their backs all but sticking out of the water they were so shallow.

One more question. I know it’s important to “match the hatch” when the shad move up in the creeks. Should I also match the color as well as possible, or go with something completely different?

Colors can vary. Switch until you get a bite that the hook is buried in the roof of the mouth.
I never change colors but put it on their nose . Use dark or bright color with chartreuse . My favorites are purple/chartreuse and orange/ chartreuse . Colors or more for fishermen and their confidence . IMO .
