Where the creek dumps into the lake.
I came across an article here on the effects of water temperature on crappie. Not to sound dumb, but what is the author referring to when he says "entrances of creek channels" here's the segment of the article.........."Crappie generally start their movement out of their deep water winter haunts when the water temperatures start warming towards the 45-50 degree range. They will congregate around the entrances of creek channels until the water temps reaches around the 50-55 degree range."
Thank you for any clarification. Just trying to get my head wrapped around it. If anyone has a map they can illustrate on that would be great.

If there is a creek, yes.

It doesnt necessarily mean that there is a cove at all. Imagine your favorite river. Now think of an area where a creek dumps into the river. This is how most impoundments are. A main river channel with creeks running into them, then dammed up and flooded. Fish relate to the deeper water and steep banks of these channels, and use them as migration routes during seasonal changes. The creek mouths you are referring to are good places to look in the Spring, when they are coming out of deeper water looking for spawning areas. He could also be talking about the area where a creek dumps into the main lake.
