Last time out the Crappies were 12-13 " got 7 on Shiners .Went a little deeper 20 or more feet  and picked up three good Yellow Perch .They are in the same area around rocks near a bluff and quick dropoff.

I was catching some decent 13" Crappie back in Oklahoma, in the Arkansas River, just below Keystone Dam.  Live minnow under a float, toss it out into the tailout of the scour hole during hydroelectric generation.  The bait would be maybe 3' down, just above the rocks.  The current would set up an eddy that covered the entire stilling basin.  Throw out as far as I could, and just keep the slack out as the rig drifted in the current.  When the float went under, fish on!
