Look for structure like submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move shallow to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they feed up before winter. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-trolled.

Also, consider exploring some of the smaller, less-pressured lakes for a chance at bigger fish.
