Crappie fishing on Allatoona

[Crappie5_44]

Hi all, I am looking to take my kids fishing and am new to the area. I was raised in michigan so i have had my share of crappie meals!. I was wondering where a good spot would be to place my kids into some action. Would bobbers and nightcrawlers suffice here in the south or do i utilize another method?

I live near lake lanier but have heard that allatoona is no joke when it comes to crappie..Ive searched for smaller lakes in the area, but cannot seem to find any.

I would appreciate any info you can share. thanks for your time

BTW...I have no boat, so shore fishing is my only option. You'll probably tell me that its to hot and that I need to get out deep
