Check out the backs of major creeks where there is sand or gravel bottom, not expansive mud flats. Look for vegetation such as what we call yellow mustard that has gotten flooded as the lake level comes up. Cast with a slip bobber or tightline cast with a drop-shot with red worms or nightcrawler pieces.

You will find the typical redear fisherman to be MUCH tighter-lipped than crappie fishermen ever thought about being.
