Crappie

Crappie fishing around Little River, Alabama, can be incredibly rewarding if you time it right. The creeks and backwaters connected to the Little River are excellent for crappie, especially during the pre-spawn and spawn in early spring. Look for submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks, as these are crappie magnets. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. As the water warms, crappie will often move deeper, so adjust your presentation accordingly. A local tip: many anglers have success spider-rigging multiple rods with different jig colors to see what the crappie are keying on. The Little River State Forest offers some bank fishing opportunities, but a small boat or kayak will greatly expand your access to prime crappie spots.
