Good Question Tom...Several years ago I decided to fish this isolated area of the lake known to have a good shad run and crappie run (migration) year end and year out. The area is not deep in general and gets allot of pressure during the day so the fish take advantage of the security of the low light bite to feed very shallow on the banks in water 3 feet or less. The area has allot of bank cover available for crappie to ambush prey. There are many contributeing factors but to keep things simple...just remember this...Lowland Res..Isolated area with allot of daytime pressure.. known daytime crappie bite...good population of shad can mean a better dusk , dawn or night bite right on the bank in available cover. When I fish this pattern I ussually most always never have more than two feet of line hanging from the tip of my jig pole or my bobber set more than two feet deep casting along or at the bank. Hope this helps.
