shockley32 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The fall pattern is in full swing and the feeding frenzy is on! The crappie are actively chasing the shad and moving shallower every few days. The crappie are holding to standing timber in 6-12 feet of water waiting to ambush the shad or a Crappie Slammers jig! The fish are anywhere from 6-10 feet deep. Focus your attention at the end of bluffs, coves or creeks. They are still solid fish with thick shoulders. The crappie are still on brush piles, they have been transitioning from deeper summer piles to shallower ones, focus on brush in 8-15 feet of water. Here are the other details: Jig – glow chartreuse or toothpaste were the hottest colors. I experimented with jig colors and styles over the weekend – color and style made a tremendous difference. The best jig was our new shad body with a twitchy tail or 1 ¾’’ shimmer stix. Some fish were caught with a vertical presentation, however the best bite was pitching the jig past the trees and slowly reeling it back. Use and 1/8th oz jig head and would cast/pitch 6-10 past the target area. Water conditions: The temp is currently 66 degrees, although it will be dropping a little every few days. The lake level is slightly above normal pool. The color is stained on the Pomme arm and dingy up the Lindly. Fished for six hours on Saturday and two of us caught between 75-80 keeper size fish. Get on out and enjoy the fall! If you need any assistance, please stop by I AM Outdoors (look us up on Facebook for pics) and we’ll help get you set up. Good luck in finding Limitville!

Heretolearn Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks for the report! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the fish are still hungry tomorrow or Sunday afternoon.
Members KC Bass Fanatic Posted November 1, 2019 Members Posted November 1, 2019 Got out last weekend and the bass bite was slow. Switched to crappie fishing around 8am and had limit of 10+ inch crappie within an hour. Kicked back several keepers between 9-10". Per Shockley's report, they are in ~10' and casting, then SLOWLY winding a jig past the target was key. My best colors were red/chart, silver/red MOPanfisher 1
