Crappie

If you're after Crappie near Dothan, Alabama, head to the area lakes like Lake Eufaula or smaller reservoirs. The abundance of standing timber and submerged structure makes these waters ideal Crappie habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they move into shallow waters to spawn. Look for them near brush piles and creek channels. A practical local tip is to use a long pole to vertically jig minnows or small jigs around submerged trees. Pay attention to water clarity, as clearer water may require lighter line and smaller presentations. The Crappie population here is robust, offering anglers the chance to catch both black and white Crappie in good numbers.
