Fall Crappie Fishing Tips

by Billy Bob Desroleux

Fall is just around the corner. While most people are
thinking about the upcoming hunting season, fall is a
excellent time to think about Crappie fishing. These crappie
fishing tips will help you locate the Crappie and put some
fillets in your freezer for the Winter!

As the water cools off in the Fall, hungry Crappie move from
their deep water Summer hangouts to the cooler water of the
shallows as they follow baitfish toward the shore. It's not
uncommon to find Fall Crappie as shallow as 1 or 2 feet deep
along a bank in the Fall. Once the first few cold fronts of
the year move in, start looking for Fall Crappie near the
first drop off away from the bank.

Fall Crappie can be caught with a variety of tactics in the
Fall. One method I use to find Crappie when they're
scattered is using a Spider Rig. A Spider Rig consist of
multiple rods rigged up to fish different depths. When you
find Crappie hitting at a certain depth with this method,
you can then set all your rods to the depth Crappie are
feeding at and take advantage of their aggressive nature.

Any seasoned Fall fisherman knows that the best time to be
out on the Lake is just prior to a major cold front hitting
your area. This is the time you'll be happy to be out on the
lake chasing Crappie. These are the times that Crappie
fishing can be better than the Spring spawning season.
Whatever you do, try and not miss a chance to chase Crappie
just before a Major front hits your home lake.

As the front passes, expect the Crappie to move back off the
bank, possibly as far back to their deep water drop off.

If you're finding it hard to entice Crappie to bite, try
minnows. When the Crappie get tight lipped, generally a
Minnow in front of their face will be enough to trigger them
into biting. I prefer small minnows and a slow drift to find
post cold front Crappie.

Typically the cold temps after a Fall front doesn't last
long. As the days warm up, you'll find the Crappie moving
back shallow again. If the water is still a little cool,
then start your search on a South facing bank and work your
way out.

When the South winds start pushing baitfish against South
shorelines, you can find Crappie by using a float and jig
setup. You can fish faster with jigs than minnows plus you
don't have to worry about a Crappie knocking your minnow off
a hook. If you find the Crappie spread out, you should
switch to a Spider Rig to snatch up the Crappie.
