I would totally agree with that pattern this time of year. The only time I run to the back of a creek in the fall is to fish grass beds close to wood docks. They are sometimes tough to find but if you happen onto a couple they can be productive. Also the chatterbait has really fallen off for me in the last month. I think I would fish a tex rig baby brush hog in green pumpkin or tube (same color). Good luck to you.
