Good luck! If you are not familiar with the lake, there is very little cover in the main lake. There are unmarked brush piles, if you can find them, and some marked ODWC piles that get hammered pretty hard and are usually too shallow for crappie this time of year.

The standing timber starts just north of Egypt creek. Trying to find brush piles around the standing timber will be easier than trying to find unmarked piles in open water. In a "normal" year the fish would be holding tight to cover around 20' - 25' deep in 30'- 40' water. Vertical jigging soft plastics works best for me. Crystal shad and blue metal flake(Blue Ice) are usually good colors.
