Crappie in shoal Creek?

[Ozarkfishnfool]

I've been pounding the water from limekiln to grand falls....3 crappie....Tons of bass...Goggle eyes.....Where's the crappie?...Anyone send me in the right direction.....I'm not your average weekend fisherman..I know my stuff but man finding crappie in shoal Creek seems to be one heck of a challenge...

I find them best once summer really gets going dropping jigs around any wood over a foot deep. Shoal creek supports some nice crappie so don't give up yet. Lots of people fish the backwater just above grand falls. For whatever reason I've never got them going myself in that spot.

I bumped into a school of big crappie last night putting 7 of my 8 fish in the basket in just a few minutes throwing a smoke grub. 2 were holding eggs the rest were males. Biggest was a 14.5" male. Time to start hitting the slack water and natural dam areas they stack up on.
