Crappie on the banks

Nice bunch of crappie. Congrats on a few great trips.

That's an impressive haul.  I've been bass fishing table rock for 25 years but with limited trips each year I never got into fishing for Crappie. 

We are located between the 13 bridge and Joe Bald Park.  Never really see Crappie around our dock and I wonder if one part of the lake has a better population or if we need to make some structure on the bottom for them to stack in?  Would be nice to get the boys on some Crappie while we swim in the summer.

I have never caught one crappie on tablerock. Anyone ever had luck in the shell knob area? Im convinced they dont inhabit that part of the lake

Crappie are tough to find on Table Rock (at least for me) in months other than the spring.  Years ago when more trees were visible around the shell knob area you could find some crappie on the river channel side pretty well by dropping a minnow down pretty much any time of the year and catch em.  We used to do that in Mill Creek as well.  Now most of those trees have broke off or decayed away.  They are there as we catch them under our dock in the summer time but you need to be in 25-30 ft of water hopefully with some brush on the bottom.  In the summer we usually only pull 4-8 fish a day from our dock but all are solid 12-14 inch fish.
