Thanks for the info!

there was some cleaner water, but very little. The mouth of the first creek channel was still clear for a few hundred yards up to where it curved around a point. That's where I started. I saw it had submerged trees and lots of stuff, but I saw no baitfish really. I would not be able to absolutely say fish or no fish. I made a total of 5 passes here before cruising on back farther where it got muddy.

i think it will help me a bit to ask for 2D screens of crappie. Like- returns that would make someone fish that area.

im also curious about the size of lake and fish movement. Surely crappie would not travel miles if they can find what they need in a certain area right?

i wondered this this due to the walleye spawn on the dam. If they are there at night, wouldn't they be close during the day? How far would they travel I wonder.
