Most creeks are good. If they are good bass creeks they will most likely be good crappie creeks. Marinas and other backwaters are productive too. I usually fish the creeks where I've stuck good crappie while bass fishing. I like to fish channel stumps mostly, but will try anything that looks good. Usually with a jig and quality slip float. Some times I'll jig for em with my long poles. I never use minnows. It slows me down too much. They'll bit shallow all year as long as the water is in decent shape. Most of the popular creeks on the cannelton pool are good. Oil and deer are my favorite. Clover and tar are good also. Start with minnows if u need to get ur confidence up. I never see to many crappie fisherman, so pressure is usually light, and u catch a lot if fatties!
I catfish that area a lot. I put in clover creek. I catch a lot of crappie in the throw net looking for shad in the winter. My buddy has been trying to get me to crappie fish it. Guess it's time to give it a shot.
