Shawn,
I've heard that too, but never ice fished Sunrise and fished it only once in a canoe. I can tell you where I see crappies during the summer in Sunset, along the north shore, start right off the "access". I have never really been able to do much panfishing in the winter on Sunset because it freezes poorly. I've seen alot of sunnies along the south shore just past the hump in the summer, maybe worth checking over there for crappies as well.
