Crappie

For crappie enthusiasts, Houston Acres, Kentucky, and its surrounding areas offer some excellent fishing opportunities. Several smaller lakes and reservoirs, like Barren River Lake, provide prime crappie habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around brush piles, submerged timber, and docks in the backs of coves. A minnow or small jig suspended under a bobber is a deadly combination. A local tip is to fish near bridge pilings, as these often hold large concentrations of crappie. The crappie in this region are known for their good size and abundance, making it a popular destination for anglers. Remember to check the local fishing regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions before heading out. Some lakes may have specific regulations in place to manage the crappie population.
