Fall Lures
#1
Bobby Garland Baby Shad
Color: Chartreuse Shad · Size: 2 inch
Cast toward brush piles and submerged timber; use a subtle shake-and-pause cadence to mimic dying shad. Work the bait vertically around structure with minimal rod movement.
Overcast conditions and falling pressure trigger aggressive feeding; shaky head finesse with a proven crappie profile excels when fish are active but still structure-oriented in warm water.
#2
Mepps Aglia #1
Color: Silver · Size: #1
Cast and retrieve with a steady, moderate pace around brush, downed timber, and creek channel ledges. Let the blade flash and vibration draw crappie from cover; pause briefly near structure.
Falling barometric pressure and overcast skies activate crappie; the spinner's vibration and flash trigger reaction strikes in low-light conditions without requiring vertical jigging.
#3
Marabou Jig
Color: White · Size: 1/16 oz
Vertical jigging over brush piles and deeper structure; use a slow lift-and-drop motion with pauses to allow the marabou to flutter naturally. Target the edges of deeper holes where crappie suspend in warm water.
Warm 82°F water pushes crappie deeper in evening; marabou's natural flutter and slow-fall profile excel in vertical presentations over brush where crappie hold in fall.
