Do you have success with brush piles on a certain part of the lake? West side or east side of the lake? Do you have more success with the standing timber than brush piles?

Corps brush piles hold year round. Finding one of the fifty that hold keepers is another story. The trees i put up by the dam produce in the winter if the wind will let you fish them. Both are in 30 feet. Standing timber most of the year

Bruce, this is a rookie question because I'm a rookie. I went out on Christmas Eve morning and using my electronics, found schools of crappie off a small lake dam in about 17' of water. I was throwing Chart. head with blue and white shad colored body. I had another rod going with White and pink and other colors as an experiment rod. I've learned that crappie always bite if you give them the right presentation and keep the color and size right.
I kept the natural shad color going because the white bass kept killing it at about 3' of water on the way down to the crappie depth. So my question is, Have you ever had a presentation that would work for the bass but not the crappie. I went through school after school after schoooooool of crappie that had ZERO interest in any color combination that I had to offer. Every time I fished on Ray Roberts, if I was catching crappie I was catching white bass. This is the first time I caught bass, but no crappie. I was not fishing on Ray Roberts this time but that shouldn't make any difference.

When the white bass are active i try and cast well past the pile. And than work it beck to the pile. You might lose a few jig heads but will be rewarded for your efforts. Also i always found that if there were white bass and black bass on a brush ple the crappie were not very active.
