Points
Cruised around lake 3 in search of Walleye off the submerged points. Started marking fish between 14 and 17 feet before it dropped to the main basin. Got small bites but no hookups. Tore my gulp leech in half and got a decent pike and then a few crappies followed. Using crappie specific lures should be the ticket to find them, but would have to weed through the normal 8-10" metro crappies before getting a few nice ones.
