Black Crappie
Baton Rouge offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing, especially if you know where to look beyond the immediate city limits. While the Mississippi River itself isn't ideal for crappie, the surrounding swamps, bayous, and oxbow lakes hold good populations. The Atchafalaya Basin, a short drive west, is a crappie paradise. This sprawling network of waterways offers endless opportunities to find crappie hiding in cypress trees, submerged logs, and vegetation. Spring is the peak season, as the fish move shallow to spawn. Try fishing around the edges of lily pads and other vegetation with jigs or minnows. A local tip: check water levels before you go, as high water can make access difficult and scatter the fish. Also, be mindful of alligators! The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers.
