It depends on what time of year. If in the next week, shoal bay..Piney bay..Ouita bay.... Best thing is go to Wal-Mart and get a Dardanelle Lake map which shows the sumerged creeks, railroads..old highways..etc. Even has the coordinances if you are high tech. I have been catching mine around submerged creeks dropoffs tossing a jig into 4--5 ft of water and letting it fall off the creek bank but I figure they will move soon to the banks. When they do fish near the weed beds in 2 to 4 foot deep swimming a jig/ minnow under a float.It works for me. Actually, a guy was fishing from the bank in weed beds and caught 2 good stringers of crappie. That was my intention this morning but when I saw that they pulled the lake down a foot, I went back out n the bay and it payed off. Hope this helps
