Check the water level so you can determine the current and clarity. If the level is up she will be a bit muddy. Only way to know is to go. Good luck. There is a YouTube channel called Its a Crappie Life with some guys who fish off the spillway. There you have access from the top of the spillway to behind the buoys where you can't take a boat. You can see them fishing up against the concrete wall catching quite a few. No where near the size you catch out in the open lake but a good place to scratch out a good mess. The guy doesn't want to say in the comments where he is but its Grand Bayou Spillway.
