Where did the crappie go?

I’ve been fishing the same spots on falls lake for a few months and have found crappie in fallen trees and more recently on the shores where the wind bows. Ever since the three days rain we had two or three weekends ago they have disappeared from these locations and I’ve only found them in five feet of water about fifty feet from shore. What’s going on? Water temperature has moved from at best 62 to 68 so I expect them to be in more shallow water.

Probably just a lot of them have finished spawning. While bass fishing recently I've seen them anywhere from the bank to out over 20 feet of water. The bigger ones seem to be out deeper like they have already spawned and moved out but there are still comers and goers I'm sure. The crappie gurus on here can give you better information than me I'm sure but that was my observation over the past week while fishing. I targeted crappie with great success last thursday.
