Caught a few pulling a chatter-bait over grass. It was a wind deal for me too, finding that windblown bank was a big key.

Fishing was pretty slow and found some piles in that 8-14 ft range that looked like they were loaded with crappie...I had tried others that didn't look like there were crappie in them and graphed over my "crappie" pile and realized that there were some bluegill beds sitting right next to the pile. Took me awhile to get a bite but the first cast with the dropshot was a 4 1/2. Managed to get them fired up and they ate the crankbait over their heads a little too.

Then a front moved in and it got really cloudy and right before it started raining caught a fish on the main lake points, the fish were hiding in the grass and caught 4 over 3 pounds within an hour.

As the sun came up moved offshore onto rock piles and found some schools on a deep crank but still all just smaller fish.

Go fish every single brushpile in the lake and see what pulls back. I recommend using lead dropshot weights because you lose quite a few and tungsten is way too expensive.
