One of the most dangerous lakes in the US and some of the most impolite boaters anywhere. But, on the bright side some of the best crappie fishing, period! We have found a few ways to fish that really have put more fish in the boat, one you can try is gulp 2.5" shad minnows. Thread the minnow on a 1/8 oz jig and then fish it back to the boat with short sharp jerks and rests. Seems the shorelines without docks and homes work best for this method. The other is several long rods out, with minnows about 10 to 15 feet down over 40+ feet of water and use your electric only to keep your boat going straight and slow. Both work good for us; enjoy LOZ and be carefull out there, it's a jungle.
