Waters are starting to cool down and I am going to try some new lakes that my Sportsman's Fishing Map Guide says have good numbers of slabs. Where would you focus your efforts to find crappies this time of year when the temperatures are dropping? The lakes I am considering probably have plenty of weeds but little or no timber/brush and lake maps show very little structure(humps, dropoffs, etc). I have never had success fishing for crappies suspended up in the water column over deep water but that doesn't mean I shouldn't consider that. Thanks for any advice.
