Crappie

If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie action, the waterways around Semmes, Alabama, can be productive. The Mobile-Tensaw Delta and nearby creeks offer diverse habitats that hold good populations of crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits for crappie. A local tip is to use a slip bobber to present your bait at the correct depth, especially when fishing around structure. Pay attention to water temperature, as crappie tend to move deeper as the water warms up. While crappie fishing can be hit-or-miss, with a little persistence and the right techniques, you can enjoy some excellent crappie fishing in the Semmes area.
