37.032052, -88.132845
I've even caught them in the jumps at the mouth/entrance to Buzzard Rock:

You may want to spend some time in Buzzard Rock/Poplar Creek - there's a railroad bed that goes across the bay, it goes from one side to the other, it passes close to the fuel dock and then under the biggest/longest dock in the bay. There's good depth and lots of rocks, I caught several crappie off of it this past spring.
Hope that helps you some.
