Fish it on a regular basis...Crappie, Whites, and Walleye are mainly deep, can't tell yah about cats. I could write a whole page or a few sentences so I'll choose the latter unless you need a PM. Crappie can be found in mid-depths (10-15fow) in the mornings and evenings, rest of the time the majority can be found in 15-35fow depths, active fish are suspended. They're along the dam, river channel bends and breaks, submerged islands in deep water, main lake points, and around any sharp drop-offs to deep water. The problem is finding fish over 10". There is a large class of 9 1/2" fish present so you'll have to go through a bunch of shorts to find the better fish. Night fishing these same spots can produce. GL
"Indeed, the single biggest reason we're not catching fish spring, summer, winter, or fall is that there are no fish where we're fishing."
