Fall fishing is heating up

It’s that time of year again where the crappie are active. I caught 75+ today and kept a solid limit with nothing shorter than 12.5”. Any tree/brush in 19-24 ft., on some sort of structure like a point or hump was loaded. All on jigs and color didn’t matter, I love Fall crappie fishing!

Nice haul

Nice looking bunch of fish.

Thanks for the report -- looks like I need to head to the lake.

Wait a minute, Minner. You said you had put the crappie gear away and were after the black bass now. Pretty easy choice to me, 2-3 bass all day or a pile of crappie like that!

In my defense Grout, I did bass fish yesterday till 10:00, after only 3 fish, it was an easy choice. I always have to keep at least 1 crappie pole in the boat,,,,

Well done sir!

If the bass fishing stays like this, might need to leave the baitcasters at home!

Made it out for a few hours finally. Definitely a pretty good bite going on at Lake XYZ. I usually don’t keep any, but these went for a ride. Started throwing them back due to not wanting to clean too many.
My phones old and the pics suck, biggest was close to 2 lbs, bigger than the bass I catch.


Man they look so small in these pics.

Heck yeah Grout, its definitely football season.

Looks like you found a few nice fish!

Good stuff. Had a buddy that fished there on Friday and did very well also. He's back today.

Nice fish.

Great report.

Dang nice

My buddy down that way told me the brush piles he put out are stacking up now.

We would need gps coods to confirm/deny this info...

He is old school. When I fished with him earlier this year we started at a tree near where he put out the brush and scanned until we found it. "There is a forked tree straight out from the ramp on the river bend that has a nice brush pile on it ":) That's how we fished the whole time I was there

Yes sir, old school!

I remember when I had to use a marker buoy to mark the tree after I graphed it, lol. Livescope has changed the game. Growing up, Dad used the old triangulation method using landmarks to fish offshore, screw that!

Between spotlock and livescope, Fishing has definitely become more relaxing. Definitely not cheaper, but a lot less cussing on those windy days.
