They go there to die. Many crappie are infected with botulocystic myopiandra in the Fall, which is similar to rabies, and can be transmitted to humans through eating of the fillets, or simply lipping an undersized fish without sterile gloves.
These tortured fish seek solace in their dying hours and swim up creeks looking for warmer waters to dull the pain that the infection brings.
The Center for Disease Control has issued warnings about crappie comsumption - check their website for a listing of creeks. Most lakes in Texas have outbreaks of BM, except in far West Texas, where you're welcome to fish all you want.

They be sick fish so don't bother with them.
