I wish I could help ya'. I've never fished the lake, but my folks have fished there before. They can't remember any details, good crappie fishin' up in the creeks off of 31 in the spring. I've been driving by and seen ump-teen-jillion vehicles parked along the side of the road.But I guess that's still heresay, since I've never ACTUALLY SEEN any fish caught out of there.

Ryan - As to specific areas, it depends on the time of year. Those that just spring fish need only look for grass lines in secluded water about 1.5-3 feet deep. Boat docks are about the same as Cedar Creek; you shoot 'em and you catch 'em. Falling jigs, jigs under a cork, or shiners will produce. During transition periods, look on a topo map for those old creek channels - County Line, Stone Chimney, Cobb, Ledbetter, Caney, etc. - and watch your sonar at around 12-18 feet for drop offs and associated gaggles of bait fish over brush piles. In the winter, too me, is the best time on Palestine. They're all ganged up along the face of the dam and along the rock bluff out from the boat ramp and on the left in about 24-25 feet of water. Once again, depend on your sonar. It's really not much of a challenge.
If you haven't invested in Mr. Ernest Paty's Crappie 101 video, it's well worth the cost. Query it on the forum to find it. The tactics he demonstrates are consistent winners just about anywhere. The only thing it can't cure is when the fish just won't bite! For that, I just watch the cows out in the pasture. When they stand up and start feeding, I stand up and run to the boat.
"The first men that our Saviour dear did choose to wait upon Him here, blest fishers were; and fish the last food was, that He on earth did taste: I therefore strive to follow those, whom He to follow Him hath chose." -- The Compleat Angler, Izaak Walton
