I would use your depth finder and look for structure and or drop offs in 10' - 20' of water on that end of the lake and slow troll. Have not been there in months, but that is usually a good summer pattern or cast deeper laydowns...

Fish the big cove straight across the ramp at the dam. Standing timber and laydowns near creek channel.

Lots of crappie were being caught. Not sure how much rain there was this week. If you are crappie fishing, you'll find them on main lake stuff. If you're bass fishing, lots of guys last week were fishing cranks and soft plastic. Look at the threads below. Lots of stuff on EF.

Caught a ton of black crappie today but most were right at 9 inches. They were in 6-8ft of water and we just slow trolled all day. We got pounded from the waves due to all the boats on the main lake but the sights were good. We probably had 40 or 50 keepers but only a kept a few for the grease. They were biting on jigs today, color didn't seem to matter.
