First of all the water levels in Dale are still pretty low, so the chances of brush hand ups does go down some.As for trolling for crappies, not all the fish will be spawning at the same time.Use cranks that will dive to maybe 10 ft, my favorites are the bandits and the small size hotn tots.Locations, my first bet would be the wolf river, from the shear pin bend to the main lake, staying in about 15 to 20 ft of water.Make large zig zags, toward shallow and to deep water. If that didn't work, i'd have two choices, go east of the big bend doing the same thing, and if no luck, go into Illwill creek, past the marina, and do the same thing, depth and speed are important, if ther water is over 60, 2 mph will put you in the ball park.But you'll have more of a chance casting visible timber.
