Crappie Fishing

I am off work this week and want to try some Crappie fishing. I live near Big Cedar, is there any "potentially" good ares around there? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Go South under the HWY. 86 Bridge & continue past LONG CREEK MARINA, as a landmark watch for overhead power lines. After you have gone under the overhead power lines the 1st. cut on your right hand side will be Mills Branch, the 1st. cut on your left hand side will be Cole Spring Hollow. Be aware that if you go far enough back in Mills Branch you will cross into Ark. waters ( IT IS CLEARLY MARKED WITH A MO/AR SIGN ) & need an Ark License. At this time with the ice melting & running large amounts of cold water into the lake I would strongly suggest live bait, a JIG / MINNOW combo, or GREY ROANRUNNER / MINNOW combo. If you want a 3rd. spot, if you have an Ark. License continue south you will come to an island, go around the island " DO NOT GO THRU THE OPENING @ THE EAST END OF THE ISLAND " you will see a good size cut almost straight in front of you on the East shoreline, this is Blair Branch, give it a try also. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!! If you get to Cricket Creek Marina you miissed Blair Branch, turn around & go back.
