I used a blue crappie plastic similar to what is recommended here. The crappie were shallow -- 3'. I casted and slowly reeled it in.

Lily Pads
Head to the South side of the lake through a narrow channel. Start by tossing your favorite weedless topwater bait above the lilipads with in the channel on the East side. As you enter the South bay, keep wrapping the corner on the East. Lots of lilys. Toss your finesse jig with a twister tail under and around over hanging trees as the day warms up. 4-5 pound bass with in this area. TAKE YOUR TIME! Many bass fisherman on this lake will troll the bank casting along but never stop to focus on the area. Catch the bass they leave behind all day long.
