Not looking for your honey hole or anything, but what is working right now? I don't mind searching, but just trying to narrow it down a bit... Docks? Coves? Creeks? Secret Brush Piles? Launching from Little Elm Park on Friday, any tips appreciated! TIA

The best tip I can give you for LL is to find another Lake. With water above normal and gates open, the fishing is horrible.

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?

Ha love that scene ....Went out yesterday and saw those dang crappie in the trees and just refused to bite anything we put down there ...Luckily my nephew wanted to go after cats and brought home a mess of nice eater blues power drifting for his Mom's Birthday...Beautiful day on the water regardless

I too went out on LL yesterday with my wife, and only caught four crappie - two keepers. I could see the crappie on the brush on my HDS, but could not get them to bite the plastic; I felt them sampling, but just would not take it. I will tell you that shad colors seemed to get some minor reaction.
I fished the east side of the main lake. There were lots of boats out there when we arrived at 9:30 AM, but it seemed they were all fishing for the sandies - which were everywhere; birds were also very active.
Maybe if I tried minners, uh, oh, no - forget it.
Good luck, and don't give up.

Hey thanks everyone for the responses! I'm bringing a few rigs, so if I get skunked with the crappie then I can switch to target another species. The wife just really wants some dinner though....

Falling water in a reservoir means tough fishing. I don't know why, but for me Crappie are hit an miss during the "hot spawn". I do better post spawn. Seems like they are more predictable. Spring for me on crappie is feast or famine, and when the water is dropping, probably famine
