My parents and I on the lake by 8am. We headed to Yellow Cliffs / Cat Bay and found the trees. We used basic jig and minnow down deep as well as a couple bare hook rigs but didn't catch any crappie. Mid morning we headed down past no wake buoys and did a slow troll targeting trees around the island with no luck - it was only 9ft on one side of the island. Fished a few other coves with trees but also no crappie. We went through 6 dozen minnows between 3 of us caught countless fish-x, sunfish, bluegill, etc. but no crappie. Some of the trees were loaded up with fish - they are there just need to find right technique to NOT catch other fish but catch the elusive crappie.
