I will be the first to admit that I need alot more experience when it comes to crappie fishing but I did stumble upon them two weekends ago out to Harris, I used my SI in about 14-20 FOW and found some brush that was standing about 6-8 feet tall. It seemed like there were an abundance of small ones and afew large crappie mixed in but after finding about six of these brush piles I had a decent mess of fish, that is really all the advice I can give, good luck out there.
