Alamo Lake

Crappie fishing is on fire with fish often found between 15-30ft. You'll find schools and singles roaming in open water. Use your electronics and cast jigs to those crappie.


Bartlett Lake

There are large schools of crappie everywhere from just 15ft of water up in the river to 40ft on the tops of trees/structure.  Some of the bigger crappie can be found in open water schools and you can use your side imaging to find them. Cast jigs to these crappie.


Lake Pleasant

Lake Pleasant is producing some smaller crappie in the 10-12" size, thanks to the successful spawn 2 years ago. Try casting jigs in trees in the 20-30ft range and if that's slow, try minnows using Aberdene hook and a split shot. The crappie are tight to the trees. The striper fishing is hot so you may have trouble getting your bait down with the hot striper bite. Stripers make great fish tacos ;-)


Roosevelt Lake

Find tree tops in the 20-25ft range and keep moving until you find a tree with fish.  The bigger crappie are biting and very aggressive.  Try using jigs but a minnow setup with Aberdeen hook and split shot may be more productive.
