What would you try tomorrow?

Trying my first day time trip tomorrow & probably go to cedar creek for awhile but am sure it will be late morning before i can go. What would you guys try this time of year? I know i'll only be fishing plastics & have a bunch of different styles & colors i've made I just don't know how to use them. Been trying to learn but have only been at night so far this year & at times i do alright vertical jigging with livescope & some nights not very good at all but honestly didn't figure i'd learn much about crappie fishing until i could figure out how to catch them in the day time since this is my first year trying to concentrate on them. Any suggestions i'm all ears. Thanks

Try this;
Whichever body of water you select, focus on a likely cove or channel, then treat it like a small body of water, similar to a pond. Don't worry about where else they might be and just try to figure out where they are in the limited area you're in. Once you establish the correct pattern/ depth and start catching some crappie consistently, seek similar depth and cover in other parts of the lake to see if the pattern holds. The crappie are feeling the days getting shorter and the water cooling down, so they're going to concentrate on baitfish, so check out the channels and flats beside the channels where water enters the bigger body of water. If nothing cooperates, move to the next deeper break line or dropoff until you locate the fish. It works for me, I hope it works for you. Good fishing.

What he said

Fish slow and move fast. Disecting an area into smaller parts helps with that. Find bait and fish close. Consider leaving the LS powered down and use DI/SI till you find fish in the upper half of the water column.

pick the side of the lake the wind is blowing into and look for schools wayward bait fish , then locate cover near them and spy on the cover.
if they wont sit on the cover look for them right close to the schools of bait suspended in and or under them.
from there its a crap shoot on how to dial them in , drifting thru them and or trolling thru them might work .
but "if" I had a LS unit I would likely try to place a jig right in their faces ........
luck to ya sir
