I have sonared the whole lake looking for some channels, points, humps,etc but come up with nothing. I know for a fact there is crappie (big crappie) in this lake. The deepest water I have found was 11.8 ft. at the upper end, then it gradualy works up to 8.5 in middle of lower end. I fished yesterday while I was scouting and cought some nice little bass on plastic worms around some natural laydowns that were along the edge (4-6ft). I have some structure ready to go in now, but found out about this little lake that is closer to home and not as crowded. Thanks
