Hey guys, i got bored and started doing some board hopping! Here in Ar, depth varies from lake to lake. Dardanelle is a deep lake and you can find them as deep as 60 feet right now, depending on barometric pressure. Lake Conway, on the other hand, is a shallow lake(11 ft at its deepest point) and you can catch them in a foot of water when the pressure is low. If you are fishing a shallow lake, I would try a jig and bobber setup and try slow-rolling a jig near stumps or other cover. Experiment with depths until you get bit. They could be anywhere from a foot deep, to right on the bottom. I would encourage you to do some research on barometric pressure and its effects on fishing, it gave me a lot of insight on where to start on any given day and how to present baits. Again, this is what works on these southern Crappie, so forgive me if I am wrong. Hope this helps.
