Let's hear'em. What is your favorite pattern for fall? Mine is strolling the creek channels w/half Kentucky rig(minnows) moving slow. I'll start in the back of coves working my way to deeper water following the creek channel edges.

jigging timber in the mouths of creeks as it gets colder i go farther back in the creek.

Drowning Minnows in 35 ft of Water and yelling "pull" on a bottle of jagermeister.

That sounds like my winter pattern but were drinking the crown to stay warm.

Same pattern that I fish year-round.....brushpiles and standing timber, just different depths. I love the fall bite, it's my favorite time to crappie fish!!!

I like pitchin a jig on "pole deep" stumps.

There are those of us that are loving this thread. Y'all expierenced people keep giving us your tips and advice. That is what makes this web site so special, honest stories and advice.

Try hitting defined points with deep water or inlines and or creek channels like Jerry has posted before on another thread. Its important you know where the shad are on the lake. Like most fish in the winter time if you find the shad and baitfish you will indeed find crappie close by.
