Went to the lake Sunday, expecting incredible fishing, water was cooler and figured the fall crappie bite would be epic. Went to all my tried and true spots. Nothing. I have gotten pretty competent using active target 2 to locate crappie and can easily distinguish them from other fish. No way i could have caught them because they simply were not there. Most spots were submerged brushpiles in 10 to 18 ft of water. Saw a few on standing timber and a few on bridge supports but they never bite there. I have never fished fall crappie but were able to do well in the hot summer. Where do they go? In fact, all we caught were bluegill. Please help. Definitely gonna be a river weekend this week but may try a lake the next week.
