Went to Walter E Long on 10/24 pulled 2-15" Crappie from the mouth of a channel, maybe would have caught more if I wasn't catching Stripper left and right. Stripper are good on this lake . My ultra lights where freakin out. Caugth and threw back 20 fish in 60 min 18-22"

Been thinking that with the temperature changes that maybe the Crappie are deeper. I have not gone deeper than 30'. Are they deeper?

My next trip is Lake Travis. Bigger Lake. Never been out there before. Dose anyone know where the Crappie are at on Travis?

We go up the Pedranales River and drift near the steep south side of the river with small minnows. Don't get to far out or you will get into the whites.

If your fishing 18'-26' on Granger your looking way to deep. Next time try looking in 6-14 feet of water.
