Ok the bait of choice will be  Zoom  Vibe worms, flukes.  If fishing open water hydrilla throw Rattle traps , yo zuri 3d minnow or  rapala x raps are good choices . My personal favorite Is live wild shiners fished under a float. Shallow sandy areas, and hydrilla are your best bets.

Crappie will still be in deeper water until the first of the year fish open water, edges of hydrilla patches . East lake Toho  is a good bet for big crappie.   jigs tipped with a minnow are the  norm
