I fish this area on a fairly regular basis. I havent tried crappie there yet as I am usually chasing bass. However due to the terrain in this area I am betting that its off the chain during the spawn and probably pretty good year round. I am actually considering trying this area out though after hearing some rumors of a good bite being under way. There are a number of very likely spots which I am betting are very productive in the cove.
There are a lot of tree stumps in this area but I havent found them to be overly productive as far as fish go. Now there are several rock piles along the bank that are substantial in size and in several places the water drops off to 15-25 feet pretty quickly. Its these areas that I have found to be pretty productive and found concentrations of fish stacked up on them. I have pulled a lot of dink bass from these areas but havent determined if the fish down deeper are crappie or bass or both. There are a ton of Gar in this area as well, so expec to tangle with several!
There are also a lot of snakes in this water too, enough that I carry a 22 pistol loaded with rat shot when I got my Kayak out there, so keep your situational awareness knob turned up all the way...
