Crappie

For crappie enthusiasts visiting Midfield, Alabama, the smaller lakes and backwaters connected to the Black Warrior River offer promising opportunities. Unlike targeting them in the main river channel, these calmer areas provide ideal spawning and feeding grounds. Spring (March-April) is prime time for crappie fishing here, as they move into shallow waters to spawn. Focus your efforts around brush piles, submerged timber, and creek channels. A practical tip for this area: many anglers have success using live minnows under a slip bobber, allowing you to easily adjust the depth. Another effective method is slow-trolling jigs around structure. The crappie in this region are known to be relatively abundant, but can be somewhat finicky, so experiment with different jig colors and retrieves until you find what they're biting. Remember to check local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions.
