Used to catch Crappie casting to the docks at Mercer early. Prospertown is still recovering from the drawdown. Around now the crappie should start to chew around now around Roller coaster point. There's a dirt access road between the main lot and six flags that will take you to another ramp/parking lot directly across from the roller coaster. Shiners and crappie jigs off the point. If you use your kayak drift between the points until you locate them. There are tons of trees in the channels. Caught bass on plastics from late March on.
