I've made three trips since the original report and each trip has gotten poorer for catching than the trip before. The fish have a chronological schedule to keep too and much of their food [young of the year shad] has made a shift to the winter areas the food needs to stay in. The crappies have migrated along with those shad now so I feel certain the season on the docks this fall is over. Come April the crappies will be back in amongst the pilings again and so will I.
