Possibly and possibly not.  I would say the spots would be a good place to start.  If they produce little or nothing for Crappies try looking for deep holes near typical spring/summer habitat.  A flasher will come in handy here as Crappies could suspend anywhere in the water column.  For Perch look out in the main basin of the lake for any bumps, rock piles or positive elevation changes.  The Perch will tend to school around these shallower spots.  Look for inside turns if possible as that will concentrate the fish even more.  These spots will also be good for Walleyes but they tend to be more of a morning and evening bite
