well, we caught a few bass (all males) and 1 bluegill. no crappie but didn't get to spend too much time chasing them so didn't get to test the 10-12 foot range. 10 year old boy has bass on the brain!! That'll change in a few years!!
we tried shallow and out to 8 feet and soaked minnows. Most fish caught around 5-6 feet. We even went out to a TPWD structure in 15 feet of water. Caught 2 male bass and the bluegill there.
