Run up in the river at highpoint access, fish the coves, that time of year I have had better luck than the main lake, chartreuse jig head with a lime green and yellow squiggly tail, or slab busters. Ask anyone highpoint is the spot for crappie and bass that early. Best time is early and usually mid day and late evening, matter of fact my profile pic was first week of last,April. Good luck and good fishing.
