If you are going to run the boat a bit, launch up at either possum ridge or the marina ramp... the farther upstream you go the more stick ups there are.
If you are after whitebass/crappie probably any cove will do... last year around this time we were having alot of good catches in the first 1/3 of most of the fingers (candy branch, etc) on the right hand banks... Not real sure on the LM/Spots right now... have never had a consistent pattern on them. (Can you tell we have fished there all of 4 times and I act like a freakin master of the lake!!!)
Hopefully this cold snap wont hurt.
Have fun and let us know how ya do!
