Crappie
Crappie fishing near Grasston can be quite rewarding, particularly if you're willing to explore some of the smaller, lesser-known lakes in the region. While not as famous as some of the larger crappie lakes further north, the area offers a number of hidden gems. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the best time to target these fish. Look for shallow, weedy bays with submerged timber. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are deadly. Focus on lakes with stained water, as crappies tend to congregate in these areas. Early mornings and late evenings are typically the most productive times. Many of these smaller lakes lack formal boat ramps, so a smaller boat or canoe is ideal. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits. The crappies in this area tend to be a mix of black and white crappie, with some reaching impressive sizes.
