Grew up fishing it as my home lake. The crappie are huge and hard to find. With that said once you find them, it is a lot of fun. I have tried pulling jigs, but it is tough with all the structure. They seem to be only around certain trees/stumps, etc. You can fish 10 that look the same and catch nothing off 9 and 10 crappie off the last one. If they are near the bank, throwing a curly tail jig to the bank and reeling it back in can be very productive as well. Patience and slow have always been the key for me. Look for trees or stumps on points with a fairly good drop-off. Don't look for 40 or 50 crappie days. More like 10 or 15, but they will be nice. I did get into them in the river end last Dec and me and a few buddys kept 80 nice ones. Most I have ever pulled out of there.
