Friday we hit the shallow bays (Black/Seaton/ect looking for crappies, water temps were 47 in the morning, 49 when we left.
Nobody seemed to be hitting them shallow and the bigger parts of the lake were pretty windy so we called it a day about 3pm.
We tried crawlers, minnows/bobers and jigs with and with out minnows, just couldn’t get any bites.
Seems we were there a bit early, but I’d think a few sunny days and it’ll pick up..maybe..??

Try Halsteds s/p Bay back bays very shallow. did good lots of years when I lived by mound for thirty years. 
Black bay is also good go real shallow in the cuts like
two ft of water
Allen, with the cool temps the last few mornings, the water has cooled.
I was on a lake by Mankato today and there were no fish shallower than 16fow.
The water temp I found the warmest was 43. The majority of the fish were out in the deeper water arounf 25-40 feet suspended and no matter what I threw at them, they would not go. They had so many baitfish by them I would guess they could not even locate my bait.
We need some warmer water to get them in shallow and that may be a week with the temps we are having.
I have fished this lake for years and I believe I know the spots come springtime when they spawn. Nothing in the shallows.
