Hey everyone,

After watching more videos by the great Mr. Richard Gene he always preaches that the way to locate crappie on any body of water is to find the shad, their main forage….however, how in the heck do I do that bank fishing? Theirs a few coves and creek arms off the main lake I’ll fish that look like perfect crappie habitat but I won’t catch a single fish. I’m assuming because theirs no baitfish around….so how do I eliminate these dead water areas and find the shad that the crappie follow to be more on the fish? I get the sense without electronics it’s basically impossible.
