The question is not when will the crappie move to the creeks but rather when will the shad move to the creeks. When the shad migrate up stream the crappie will be in hot pursuit. Sometimes the fishing is great and while other times the crappie will no touch your bait because they have thousands of shad to feed on. Water temp is the determining factor as to when they move up. The colder it gets the better it gets.

I caught some nice crappie this morning at white rock. They seem to be staging at the mouth of the creek but temps are too warm.

Its only a matter of time now. Im on the same pattern also.

Where are they at?!!

Staging under bridges at white rock!! Caught a couple last night around 8pm under lamps!!!

Annual bump!

Will be scouting my creeks next week getting ready to guide this winter. Should be a few in them.

I want to go!

Guide what are your rates

Rates aren't set in stone yet but I am thinking of 150$ (1-2 people) for a half day and 250$ (1-2 people) for a full day.




I gotcha Brian! If I can ever get a Sunday off then I will let you know. Hopefully, around the beginning of December.

We caught 6 Keepers Yesterday and had a few throw backs Mixed Bag of fish Sand Bass and Large Mouths Crappie stacked in one Hole Minnows on Slip Bobber

There are some lakes that you can catch them up in the creeks all year long. Lake Eufaula in OK is an example. In the heat of July, you can catch good numbers of crappie in less than 6' of water, dippin sunken tree limbs and stumps. I'm sure it has something to do with the oxygen content of the water.

Maybe a few but I doubt numbers. Theyll show up in bigger numbers when water temps get to the 50s

The other day Lewisville was 75 degrees still on the main lake.
