You might want to give "speed drifting" a shot over the main basin. I've reported on this technique in the "New England States" Forum below. You need a good 10 - 15 mph breeze and you basically go up wind and drift downwind, right down the middle of the main basin. Works wonders for us up here. And we're fishing over 20' - 25' depths. Our jigs are almost water skiing, yet the crappie, yellow perch, bluegill and even bass, find them with ease. Best count so far this year, during a 5 hour session, has been 134 with the majority of those being crappie. I know it's always a recommended procedure to go SLOW. But here anyway, the crappie like it really fast. Go figure!
