I know that you posted this months ago, however I frequently fish Star lake as I live nearby. Lots of structure to target walleye, and I frequently hook into some monster crappies while fishing for them. I caught a 14.5 inch crappie while pulling a spinner with a nightcrawler in 24 feet of water off of a relatively steep break off shore where some cattails met with a hillside. This was back in July. I’ve seen many nice crappies come out of the lake but I’m not exactly confident on locating them intentionally in the summer. Ice fishing is a little easier, as there are some nice deep holes you can target and multiple sprawling weed flats.
