Crappie
If slab-sized Crappie are on your mind, West Point Lake near West Point, Georgia, should be on your radar. This lake is renowned for its thriving crappie population. Spring is the undisputed prime time, as crappie congregate near submerged structure to spawn. Target brush piles, standing timber, and bridge pilings in the backs of creeks and coves. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. During the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so focus on structure in 15-25 feet of water. Trolling with crankbaits or jigging vertically can be effective techniques. A local tip: The Yellow Jacket Creek area is known for its abundant crappie habitat. Several marinas around the lake offer boat rentals and fishing reports to help you pinpoint the best spots. Be sure to check the regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions before you go.
