Crappie

Crappie anglers in East Point, Georgia, have several options for chasing slabs. While there aren't any huge crappie lakes directly in the city, smaller lakes and ponds, and even the Chattahoochee River, offer opportunities. Many of these smaller impoundments are managed for fishing, and crappie can be found around submerged structure such as brush piles and docks. Spring is the prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. Look for stained water, as crappie often prefer these conditions. The Chattahoochee River can also hold crappie, particularly in backwater areas and near submerged timber. Be aware of current conditions, especially after heavy rains. Before you go, check local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions, as these can vary depending on the specific body of water.
