I'm no professional by no means except when it comes to eating fish, I am a professional at that, but its been my experience that your crayfish and smaller fry fish are going to stay in pretty shallow water along the shoreline.
If you do have some really good cover further out they will congregate there as long as it is shallow enough.
That is some great looking structure you have going there! good looking pond.
Obviously if the rock bar was extended out 40 ft out would be great, but that would be a pretty big project involving a ton of work and money, if it was me I would concentrate on more rock in shallower areas, to benefit your small fry.
When your rock is more then 6 ft deep it will hold fewer small fish and therefore will not be as big a benefit to you. return on investment, if you will.
That's just my opinion tho. Good Luck and lots of great fishing!
