The first thing i try to find is the green weeds. Fish will be in the green weeds for oxygen and food year round.

After that, you can look at the breaks to the main basin and drill from shallow to the deeps to see if fish are holding to a certain depth. The crappies will likely be suspended in these areas during the evening bite.

Many times you can find crappies and bluegills mixed together. Crappies will often be higher in the water column compared to the gills.

Dont be afraid to drill a lot of holes!
