Lake Oconee Crappie

I've been fishing Oconee (Sugar Creek) for stripers lately and found the bite active in the evenings just before dark. I'm looking to switch back over to crappie fishing which I haven't done since last year...

Any tips on where to start the hunt for them this time of year? I usually fish them in the colder months so this is the first time going for late spring crappie.

Colors of choice?
Boat Ramps on Oconee you recommend to access?

I'm mostly familiar with Sugar Creek area but open to trying new ground.

Thanks and hope everyone is staying safe out there! It's been a great time to fish to get out.

ive trolled just past the bridge in sugar creek, and the coves, try shooting the docks in those coves. Or spider rigging over timber

I usually fish Sugar Creek in spring then move toward lower end of lake. Longlining still works for crappie. just follow the break lines.

I will try some spider rigging, I have not yet mastered longlining. When you say follow the break lines are you talking about sharp depth drops?

Thanks for the input RJR and DaveUSMC!

"about sharp depth drops?"
Its what I do Shallower in spring and deeper in summer and winter. Fall they are generally feeding heavy just about anywhere.
