Without the weed beds, you will have to fish the timber, existing brush piles, downed trees, and structure fish the creek channels, flats, humps, intersecting creek channels, baitballs, and search for crappies. Long lining jigs and crankbaits would be the easiest search method and quickest if you fish Patoka. I will hit it again just because I am hard headed and wasn't happy with the looks of how it's changed. We will just have to change with the lake.
