I've only ever fished two places for crappie, Prineville Res and Ochoco Res near Prineville. As for a magic bait, for me it's been 1/16og augur tail jigs. Color just didn't seem to matter much. I have some spots on both that are special for me. One it's weeds growing out of the water and casting near then with a sliding float. The other has been rocky area's again with the sliding float. One time nothing was working so I started you the fish finder and looked for schools in deeper water. Found out to remove the float and drop the jig right down on top of them. This using the fish finder just might work for you.
