A “Crappie” question?

I found a lake 2 years ago that was loaded with crappie. It was late August when we found the small lake.
The lake seems to have an average depth of 10 feet of water. But when we tried ice fishing it in winter we couldn’t catch anything.
Anyone ever had lakes where fish go dormant because it’s to shallow?

Take me there and I will show you how its done )
Try deepest part of the lake, then move towards shallow. If there is a weed edge, fish there. If there is a creek running to the lake, fish the line between creek mouth and the main basin, drill holes every 30 yards or so until you find them.

I did only ever fish the lake in the afternoon from about 12-3. So today I have to cut a new trail to the lake then hopefully I will stay until the sunsets.
I am a hole drilling machine so that’s why I was asking if they go more dormant in shallow lakes for the winter.

I think that this lake is a summer lake only. We fished it again today. No luck.
I catch them every cast in the summer. But I think the lake is just to shallow for winter fishing. The deepest area of the lake is 10 feet. The rest of the lake is 6-8 feet.
I have been told that lakes that are very shallow the fish just shut down for the winter because of the lack of oxygen.
