One more small bit of information on winter crappie. Leave the plastic off and fish straight minnows and niblets. Once the water temp hits 55 deg start tipping plastics with minnows. I have filleted a lot of big crappie in the winter full of 3 to 4 inch shad so keep that in mind. I fish with a lot of different people throughout the year and there is no pressure like there is when I have my granddaughters or wife in the boat. It is very important they catch fish. It's great you are taking them they won't forget it.
Any luck fishing from the bank? I know the water is up in some locations which make it tougher, but bank fishing is the only option my son and I have.
While I cant say for sure with crappie, but I tore up the smallmouth and large mouth there from the bank 2 weeks ago.

In Tall Chief Cove there is alot of standing trees in the water. Do crappie relate to tree trunks the same way they do submerged trees and brush? Has anyone fished the Tall Chief Cove area of Skiatook for crappie?
