Hello Hardydk1,if some of the crappie have already spawn out then they will pulled back on the channel in the cove. If there are a food supply source in the cove the crappie will stay around,also all crappie don't spawn same time and if you got any depth of all in the cove would be worth trying it out. May have to set-up mouth of the cove,if no takers up in the cove.
