Launched at Shadow rock.  Found isolated schools of fish in about 30' of water.  The fish hugging the bottom were usually small white bass, the fish that were 5 to 10 feet off the bottom were usually crappie.  Better the 2 of us ended up with 28 keeper crappie, a 20" walleye, and to many 9"-13" white bass to count (we weren't keeping the whites).  We were fishing a drop shot rig with live minnows and a 1/2 oz weight drifting with the current.  It was video game fishing.  Drop your rig down through the fish on the screen and jig it up through them, slowly lifting it up till you could get one to follow, wait a second then jig it slowly about a 3" hop, it was a very light bite we missed a bunch.  If they didn't hit the rig drop it back down through the fish and repeat.
