Welcome docker. I'm in the north eastern part of the state and have never fished El Dorado but I can tell you fall crappie can be similar to spawn crappie. They sometimes come in shallow in the back of creeks where the water may be a bit warmer than the main lake. There is also a consistent deep bite this time of year. I have the best luck on the deeper bite fising breaks in 12 to 20 fow. From what I've seen, they're still pretty spread out and not one particular depth is better than another. Shad is key this time of year as crappie are beginning to feed up for the winter. I'm sure some of the guys on here can help you with El dorado.

Welcome to the site

Welcome. It has been a strange year for crappie on Eldorado. I will pm you as time moves on about where they "might be". Good luck and drive safe if you head up north by boat.

Thanks guys! And if anyone is looking for a tag along on near by lake I'll throw in on gas or beer!

Welcome docker. Locating crappie when they are not spawning usually takes electronics... What fish finders do you run?
Crappie at ElDorado have been less than good this year.

I run a 398 si di and I just bought the mapping chip for it

Welcome. If you really want to learn the lake and get ideals on how to fish El Dorado, you might want to call me. I run a guide service on El Dorado (Hook'Em Guide Service) and as most will tell you, one trip will save you time and money as El Dorado is a great crappie lake if you know how and where to fish.
