Just wondering because I don't have a boat that is capable of going out to 20-25ft of water safely and enjoy bank crappie fishing.

The rocks at highway 380 seem to hold crappie, so wondering if anybody knows if they will be back in the start of fall when temperatures are back to bearable.

Thanks

They go shallower but they won't go as shallow as they did in the spring. They will most likely move to the 7-13' range or somewhere in that area. With the low water conditions I doubt the rocks will be any good. Maybe the pillars there though.

How deep are the larger crappie these days...been the last two weekends and caught quite a few small crappie, but very few large ones, been fishing around 15 ft.

When the button willows are wet, I've heard that the crappie move up into them for a week or two in november. Only heard though, I didnt get a chance to try.
