Crappie will stack up there waiting for disoriented baitfish to get pulled out of the current.

That’s exactly right. In my experience you want to stay out of the main current lines and fish the eddies and slack water. They use those current breaks as an ambush point. I usually start at about four feet deep under the cork and drop it down a foot every 8-12 casts until I find them. If I hit bottom before catching one then I just pick up and move down the bank some.
