Gotta keep movin over foot by foot if you cant find them. One cast to the left and you might not ever see one. Keep playin with different colors. Try 4lb line and small jig heads with the common bobby garland colors. You will find them if you keep movin. Crappie bite all year no matter what. They gotta eat eventually. My buddy in scottsborro can absolutely kill them every trip with minnows only. Its crazy. We fill the boat when i go with him. We fish the small creeks in scottsborro and they stay loaded it seems.
